Allison Simmons pleaded guilty to seven charges of theft after swindling more than $1 million over six years while working as a payroll officer at fungus producer Merbein Mushrooms in Victoria’s northwest.
The court was told she made multiple cash withdrawals worth $203,000 and spent about $181,000 on Facebook games including Candy Crush, $86,000 on retail expenses and paid $151,000 to family members from the stolen money.
