Naughty, Naughty Nun

It’s getting so you can’t trust anybody these days, not even those who have pledged their life to God.
Sister Marie Thornton put the shame on nunnery when she embezzled quite a bit of money from Iona College. She’s the New Rochelle, New York, school’s former vice president of finance.
How much did she steal? More than $850,000. And what did she steal the money for? To pay off personal credit cards and expenses. And what did she owe so much money for? She went to Atlantic City, New Jersey and visited the casinos there. A lot.
The school never reported the losses, until 2009 when it filed its taxes with the IRS, after Sister Marie had been falsely invoicing the school for 10 years.
I hope somebody raps her knuckles good with a stout ruler.
