    Post A retired nun admits to embezzling more than $800,000 to fund a gambling habit...

    A retired nun admits to embezzling more than $800,000 to fund a gambling habit... Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper used tuition fees and donations to a California Catholic school to subsidize her casino expenses

    A retired nun has admitted to embezzling $835,000 over 10 years from a Catholic school in California to fund her gambling habit, according to federal prosecutors.
    Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper, 79, a former principal at St James Catholic School in Torrance, California, used tuition fees and donations to subsidize casino gambling expenses and credit card payments, the authorities said.
    Kreuper, who took vows of poverty at age 18 and spent 59 years in the religious order, said in her plea agreement that she had begun diverting money from the school’s tuition and donation account to a savings account that funded the living expenses of the nuns who worked at the school – and then used some of the money herself.

    Doesn't the Catholic Church employ accountants? How does a school end up missing 80K a year and no one notices for 10 years?

    These are all separate entities. Plus, I don't know if this was a diocesan school or a non-diocesan
