2 nuns accused of embezzling $500K from school to use to gamble, travel - AJC
Two Catholic nuns could be in trouble with the law after being accused of taking $500,000 from a school in California.
Church officials at St. James Catholic School in Torrance, California, discovered Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper and Sister Lana Chang had been taking money earmarked for the school and used it to travel and to gamble at casinos.
The archdiocese of Los Angeles started an internal investigation after a family requested a copy of a check made out to the school. Staff at the school noticed that the check had been deposited in a bank account that didn’t belong to St. James Catholic, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported.
