Nun Embezzles $853,000.00; Confesses
A nun in California has confessed to stealing over $853,000 from the school where she worked.
She faces fraud and money laundering charges.
Kreuper took her vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience when she was just a young 18 years old, and was, from outward appearances, a model nun for many years. And then they put her in charge.
According to the story in the Washington Post, Kreuper took the reins of St. James Catholic School south of Los Angeles in 1990 and served in that position for 28 years.
Beginning in 2008, she started to divert funds from the main school account and put them into the account the nuns are authorized to use for day-to-day living expenses. For the next 10 years, she was able to divert over $853,000.00 into the nun s expense fund and then used those funds to fuel her gambling addiction.
