Elderly nun sentenced to prison for gambling away elementary schools funds

A disgraced nun who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Los Angeles Catholic elementary school and went on Vegas gambling sprees will be reciting her penance from inside a federal prison cell.

Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper, of Los Angeles, was sentenced Monday to one year and one day for fraud and money laundering charges. The 80-year old nun also was ordered to pay a total of $825,338.57 in restitution for the money she embezzled while she was a principal at St. James Catholic School in Torrance, Calif.

Prosecutors said Kreuper, who was the school’s principal for 28 years, diverted funds to pay for expenses that her order — the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet — would never have approved, including large gambling expenses from casino trips and credit card charges she made from 2008 to September 2018.

Kreuper, who apologized to the community during Monday’s sentencing, also made a Hail Mary plea to the judge for leniency.

Would have been a hoot, if someone in the court had yelled....   "30-1 you won't get it"

Disgrace says volumes about the relentlessly corrupt leadership of the Catholic Church:
* an aging thief stealing from children and
* a male Clergy infested w/homosexual pedophiles.
In earlier times, which embraced/respected the Family, this trash would have been tied to a tree and burnt alive to cheers.

My parochial grammar school's Sisters of St. Joseph nuns could have schooled the East German Stasi in sadism and repression.

Some of them were later outed in the 1990s as physically and psychology abusive to children.

Massachusetts Attorney General, Thomas Reilly, told Cardinal Bernard Law that if he wasn't on the next plane to the Vatican (no extradition treaty with US), he'd be arrested.
