He liked to tell me that one day he would break the bank. What a feeling it must be to win all of the money at a gambling table!
Other times my friend would simply break even. He neither won nor lost money.
But sometimes Bob would lose his shirt. He would lose all the money he had. He took a beating at the gambling table.
When this happened, my friend would have to go in the hole. He would go into debt and owe people money.
Recently, Bob turned to crime after losing all his money. In his job, he kept the books for a small business .
He supervised the records of money earned and spent by the company.
Although my friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books. He illegally changed the financial records of the company.
This permitted him to make a fast buck. My friend made some quick, easy money dishonestly.
