A Pennsylvanian lawyer has been banned for his video game addiction.
Matthew Eshelman has been suspended from legal practice for three years for mishandling a series of cases under his watch as a result of developing an 'addiction' to video games.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court heard how he lost track of client money, ignored deadlines and even lied in a divorce hearing, all whilst playing more and more games in order to escape from stress at work and domestic problems.
After the verdict, he told the court ‘I am simultaneously training to be a soldier, plumber and a hip-hop dancer anyway”.
