'Robin Hood' banker jailed

A US bank manager who insisted she gave the $340,000 (€230,000) US dollars she stole over eight years to needy customers was sentenced to a year and a day in prison by a judge who declared that her “Robin Hood days are long over”.

Patricia Keezer, 53, said the embezzling began in 2000, when she would give needy people $2,000 (€1,350) at a time for car repairs, mortgage payments and taxes.
