An “80s” woman embezzled a million dollars, due to her addiction to “gambling and gambling games”
Parents and grandparents have always advised us of the dangers of gambling and its many psychological and social damages, as well as the religious violation committed by the gambling player, whether Muslim or Christian, but this is what the eightieth nun Mary Margaret Cropper, director of “St. James” Catholic School in Los Angeles, signed.
The eighties are addicted to gambling and gambling
Addicted to gambling, octogenarian nun Mary Margaret Cropper embezzled $1 million from the school fund she was managing in Torrance (south of Los Angeles) to spend it on casino gambling and lavish tours.
The elderly woman was sentenced to one year in prison after she admitted embezzling $1 million from the fund of St. James’ Catholic Private School in California.
