A PATHOLOGICAL gambler who conned her friends out of about $340,000 in a fraudulent investment scheme was jailed for five years today.
Mother-of-two Angela Bamford, who has been excluded from all three Queensland casinos, used various means to defraud six complainants over a two-year period from May 2005 to May 2007.
The District Court in Brisbane heard Cambodian-born Bamford had experienced a life of slavery and abuse dating back to when she was sent to a Khmer Rouge labour camp at age six.
