Jail for woman who blamed 'multiple personality' for theft of $8m from employer Wendy Hope Jobson, 50, stole nearly $8m to pay for online gambling, cars, first class travel and corporate box seats over six years from the hotel chain where she worked. A WOMAN who said she suffered from a multiple personality disorder when she stole nearly $8 million from her employer has been sentenced to at least five years imprisonment. Wendy Hope Jobson, 50, stole $7,818,893.66 to pay for online gambling, cars, first class travel and corporate box seats over six years from the hotel chain where she worked as an administrative manager. Sentencing her today, Victorian Supreme Court judge Phillip Priest said he did not accept a psychiatrist's evidence that dissociative identity disorder had driven Jobson's gambling. "Your claim that you did not know what you were doing does not sit well with your actions in deliberately covering up your thefts through false accounting," he said. Nor does it sit well with your assertion that you wanted to hurt (employer) Mr Koroneos, because you could not hurt him in any other way; or with your expenditure of stolen funds on cars, a house, first class overseas air travel to London with your sister or payment for a corporate box at Etihad Stadium, where you entertained your sons, your parents and friends. The objective facts surrounding your offences suggest a calculated and protracted course of deliberately dishonest conduct. Jobson's stealing was revealed when the NAB contacted her boss about some unusal transactions. Justice Priest said Jobson had then wondered if she had been uncovered, and admitted she had stolen one or two million dollars. "Even if it be true that you 'lost' yourself when gambling online, the fact remains that, even on your own version, you realised in your more temperate moments - when apparently unaffected by any mental condition or 'parts' - what you were doing, yet did nothing to stop it," he said. Indeed, on 1478 occasions - when apparently unaffected by any mental condition or 'parts' - you diverted money from your employer's bank accounts into those under your control, with the intention of using the money as your own. Then later, after gambling online - and again when apparently unaffected by any mental condition or 'parts' - you took elaborate steps to cover your tracks. Jobson has repaid $195,849.98 to the company after selling her house, and is now bankrupt. She has been sentenced to eight years imprisonment after pleading guilty to theft, and will be eligible for parole after five years.
