00:00you know in this case the thing that was interesting is not so much how the money

00:07got there but who was doing it back down with the major shock at a catholic parish in california

00:13one of the ten commandments is thou shall not steal a lesson the archdiocese says was apparently

00:19ignored they stole more than three million dollars and reportedly used the money for lavish trips to

00:29las vegas we lost sleep i mean it was so unbelievable to us look at what the priests did

00:38they do not always tell the truth they do not always do the right thing

00:44where does this go like how many people are involved in this is it one person

00:47or is this a criminal enterprise this is like the movie sister act in real life it's begging to be

00:54made into a musical you can just see them now rosary beads in one hand full house in the other right

01:07the music numbers you will

01:37you will hear are inspired by stories we've been told nothing said should be interpreted as facts

01:50we're saying only god knows

02:03we all got duped

02:09and

02:14uh

02:22uh

02:27we had bought a house in torrance as we had our first child the inevitable conversation from

02:51other people with kids was where are you going to put your children my wife grew up and had a

02:57wonderful connection with her church and her school st. James has been here for over a hundred years

03:02it just made a lot of sense for us the school goes kindergarten through eighth grade it's very

03:11well known very well respected and as a young parent this history this lineage this reverence

03:17people have for the church is something we wanted to be part of we wanted discipline and structure

03:24we wanted that moral base of right from wrong don't cheat don't steal I was coaching soccer

03:32and coaching the football basketball golf teams he was PTA president for how many years for a lot of

03:39years the school could call on us and we would do it you know it takes a village and that was the

03:46village we chose so when you go to st. James school as opposed to going to public school there are

03:53tuitions in addition to tuition there's all sorts of different fundraisers for various needs at the

03:59school parents would sign a contract to support to a certain dollar volume we had the big red raffle

04:08we had the jog-a-thon I liked the gift wrap I'm a shopper father Jim was a priest who was also a very

04:18good golfer and so obviously we came up with a golf tournament and we would come back to the school

04:25we have a poker tournament we call it father Jim's big saloon

04:29and the biggest fundraiser of all was the harvest festival and this was more or less a weekend long

04:37carnival with rides food booths a beer and wine garden that was a lot of fun you were happy to do

04:44it and you felt good about doing it because you believed that what you did was going to benefit

04:48the school and the community

04:50in terms of the money we kept raising it in the first couple years you're like yeah it takes a while

04:57to raise money to see the end result but then you hear the teachers complaining they haven't had a

05:05raise in years you see the books the kids are looking at like we're not getting new books going

05:11to school at Satan James I wouldn't say it's fancy at all kind of homey I guess like you know not

05:16extravagant at all some of the books were very beat up very old the parents wanted a covered awning

05:22over the benches where the kids would eat their lunch first days of summer it's like 90 degrees

05:29were just super hot the response was it was too expensive things that were important to the families

05:38weren't addressed they were just ignored we're being told we need more money we don't have enough

05:49and tuition's going up each year and I could see the money coming in

05:54where's this money going

05:58miss mary mack all dressed in black with silver buttons all down her back now here's a

06:12tell that you should hear about some cash that disappeared

06:19the story begins at saint james a devout catholic school a sunny place full of grace leaders teach

06:29god's rules learning to read and to write and obey god's word is their life's work so of course

06:38we listen to what they say our parents pay tuition they value the mission nutrition is in apples it's moral condition

06:50one two that's why they pay the yearly fee so we can stay pure and holy

07:03if the conditions of the classroom are always rough while our parents raise money and it's never enough for no field trips

07:11no actions that require money doesn't that story smell a little funny

07:15where's that money if we don't get somey who does this thief think we are big dummies

07:20that's right you know it's getting real just wait till you hear the blasphemous of your life

07:24was it a nun a sinful dad a mom who's mad or a priest gone bad

07:32we're talking big sums stolen millions of dollars belong to the school we could have been ballers

07:38could have had laptops flagged out busts and said we got swindled by someone devious

07:42everyone's a suspect in our minds hail mary time let's figure out who committed this crime

07:49divine intuition gives us a new mission

07:54let's go

07:56do you remember the priest and nuns from your five years

08:09yeah so we had father john and then father jim was like the main one huge notre dame fan

08:15the nuns i had three years with sister lana she was the english teacher

08:20she was very particular about like the rules and like structure

08:25everyone was very disciplined we'll use that word

08:28sister lana was the eighth grade teacher and also the vice principal of the school

08:33she wasn't very friendly i'll just leave it at that

08:38oh she's the worst teacher on campus she just would smile to the parents and be mean to the kids

08:45and then there's sister mary margaret

08:51sister mary margaret was the principal

08:57boy how do you describe sister mary margaret

09:04she seemed like she could be a tough grandma hardy not super tall nothing fancy about her

09:12no makeup of course a little bit of that bulldog kind of mentality but she really cared

09:18sister mary margaret i'll tell you point blank she's probably one of the best bosses i ever had

09:26a mentor she's a friend

09:29we were having something going on in our personal life we could go to her and ask for some guidance

09:33she knew the family's inside and out

09:36and she was very giving

09:38she's a nun and she's taken vows of chastity and poverty

09:43she doesn't get a salary they get a stipend

09:46they give you housing transportation and food

09:51and she did a lot of real work

09:55but it's not easy because you're dealing with a few hundred kids

10:00and every kid's different and every parent's got a demand for their kids to be the best student or the smartest athlete

10:07you're dealing with the staff you're dealing with the budget

10:11you're answering to the archdiocese

10:14you're answering to the teachers that need better you know support in the classrooms or more help

10:19in 2018 we were hearing rumors she was going to retire

10:25i would always call her and go visit with her in the office because i wanted to see her i was very fond of her

10:32sister mary margaret why are you retiring and she blamed it on the parents

10:36you know the new parents and their kids are entitled and i just can't deal with them and they're just not doing anything they're supposed to do and it's just time

10:43it's just time

10:5030 years of

10:51good morning sister mary margaret

10:53what's so good about it always had to be governed by good

11:03strict to the children who don't act as they should

11:07you know

11:08you know these parents complain

11:13being in charge of this school makes me grey

11:18it's been sacrifice and strife

11:22and i just want more from this life

11:26when

11:27when

11:29when

11:30do i

11:31get mine

11:32when

11:33she

11:34it hurts

11:35i think that

11:37now

11:39now

11:40is my

11:41time

11:43to hang up my bell

11:45bell

11:46and bell

11:47there was never anything that was off until

11:59until sister mary margaret was retiring

12:04each of us at saint james school follow the call of jesus as we continue his work in the world today

12:11my prayer is that the school will carry on the rich traditions of faith academic excellence and service

12:26that's when everything hit the pan

12:30there was a check

12:43that

12:45the secretary at the school needed to get for another family member

12:49this happens quite often a family comes they're going to go there and then something changes

12:54but they had already gone through the whole process of been accepted and the next step after being accepted is you give them a check

12:59give me your deposit

13:00well

13:01they backed out

13:02they asked for the check back

13:04the secretary got the check

13:07the account number on the back of the check

13:10was not an account number for the school

13:12then

13:13the parents

13:14go back and they start pulling their canceled checks

13:17and you're turning them over and they didn't match

13:19account numbers didn't match

13:21and some had stamps

13:22it said saint james school

13:24and then some had handwritten saint james school

13:27and then sometimes it just said sjs

13:30what am i looking at

13:34clearly there's bigger things at play here

13:45my name is tyler hatcher i'm the special agent in charge of irs criminal investigation in los angeles

13:50we track the money we're really good at figuring out how did the money get generated what happened to it where did it go what did it pay for who touched it who owns it all those types of things if you're put in a position of trust when it comes to money and you break that trust we will find you and we will aggressively investigate you

14:09the archdiocese of los angeles

14:12the archdiocese of los angeles their policy is they do an audit at the end of a principal's term whether that be one year or two years or ten years or fifty years doesn't matter and mary margaret cooper made her intentions known that she wanted to retire so of course that sparked in the audit

14:26the audit well the audit came out clean no money missing everything was where it was supposed to be

14:33but something was wrong

14:35then you started hearing these rumors about sister lana

14:41when we had like our big red raffle for the harvest festival there was a lot of cash that we put through there and more times than not sister lana's name would get pulled

14:56i remember one of the years sister lana won it was like her second or third time winning but it's so funny to me like because i was standing next to her when she won and she would do this face where she was almost like the home alone face like

15:10oh my god

15:14you would hear she took this person to dinner or that person to dinner or bought this great gift for this person

15:21sister lana chang would tell other families she was going on cruises

15:27she said hawaii swimming with the dolphins

15:34mexico palm springs las vegas she'd say you know we went to vegas and we had a great time so my wife's family they saw her in vegas multiple times in the summer when i was in high school i went to bachanga casino down here and she was playing slots

15:52it was tough to hear that she was doing all that as we were giving to her giving to our kids sacrificing constantly at the school volunteering not going on vacations like all of our friends were doing we couldn't afford it

16:10remember remember as a nun they don't get a salary they get a stipend the church is giving you just enough to survive

16:18what is a fun time for a nun in vegas and who's paying for a cruise

16:24and then you'd hear it was lana chang's rich uncle paid for these things

16:28and so you try to be like hey where's your uncle

16:32could she be stealing money from the school

16:36quiet

16:48there's always more vacations to be had

16:58and more luxurious things to acquire

17:02and as for my

17:04unsatiated tastes

17:06well i i do like my things a little finer

17:10and yes

17:12i like my clothes designer

17:16so sue me

17:18i fly first class

17:20because it's roommate

17:22i've got bad habits

17:24yes i do

17:26who cares about the truth

17:28i bet you wanna do

17:30so tell me

17:32why

17:34why can't i

17:36get mine

17:40i think about

17:42it

17:44all

17:46my time

17:48when i take off my veil

17:50and i say

17:52you might have had suspicions about sister lana

18:02but because she's a nun

18:04because she's been entrusted by the church

18:06and you've given her your children

18:08you give her the benefit of the doubt

18:10if the money's not there

18:12we'll just go raise some more money

18:14because my kids happy

18:16i want them to stay here

18:18this is a nice community

18:20i don't want to cause any problems

18:22and you're young parents

18:24you just go with it

18:26and then one day i came home

18:30just a normal day at work

18:32and my wife said

18:34we got a letter

18:36so what i have here is a copy of the actual letter that was sent home from saint james catholic church on november 28 2018

18:44dear saint james school families

18:46it is with much sadness that i am informing the families of saint james school that an internal investigation has revealed that over a period of years

18:55sister mary margaret crupper has been involved in the personal use of a substantial amount of school funds

19:01we all got duped

19:15it wasn't sister linda

19:18but sister mary margaret

19:20it just doesn't make sense

19:22and where is the money

19:25there's more to like i see the smoke like this is smoke

19:29and where there's smoke there's fire

19:32you know it's hard to believe that this trusted leader who had been at the helm for almost 30 years could be stealing

19:42and the parents were on kind of two sides of the fence

19:46after the letter they held a meeting at the church with someone from the archdiocese and monseer mike explaining what had happened

19:54it got very hotly contested

19:57one side of the aisle was saying we know what she did this is wrong we knew it all along we had an intuition

20:04another said was she's innocent we know her we trust her we're vouching for

20:09that wasn't the sister mary margaret i knew for all those years

20:14we didn't believe it

20:16we thought it's not really what it sounds like it is

20:21what a feeling to be so betrayed

20:25for all we know sister mary was framed

20:30it's clear she's involved and she should be ashamed

20:35a criminal unimaginable the principal and the thief all the same

20:40but she swears her innocence must be an explanation

20:44i say full condemnation

20:46we believe her

20:47don't believe her

20:48we believe her

20:49don't believe her

20:50we believe her

20:51we believe her

20:52we don't

20:53bad habits have consequences

20:58guilty or not of her offenses

21:02when monsignor spoke at the church

21:09it was very poorly constructed

21:13not a lot of answers

21:15the archdiocese didn't want to press charges

21:18it would be taken care of internally

21:20this is embarrassing for them

21:22and so they were not super thrilled about

21:24bringing in a lot of help making this very public

21:27they did nothing

21:29they literally didn't know what they were doing

21:31and they didn't do anything

21:32because i believe they didn't want anybody to hear about it

21:35it was all you can trust us

21:37which is a bunch of bs

21:41the church didn't want to investigate it

21:44and that's what convinced me that

21:47sister had done it

21:50that is not in line with

21:53what would be expected of a nun

21:56in my book or most people's book

21:59this woman that we trusted

22:01that we trusted our children with

22:03we trusted our children with Sister Mary Margaret for 16 years

22:07she was our friend

22:09she was our friend

22:12and

22:14she used us

22:15and

22:16it felt

22:17ugly

22:20we

22:21knew

22:22sister has to be punished

22:25for committing a crime

22:27because she preached that there's a consequence for your actions

22:30you're supposed to be there for the good

22:33you're supposed to be living above poverty

22:35and you shouldn't be worried about money

22:37you know the fact that she's a nun and did it shouldn't excuse what she did

22:44bad habits have consequences

22:49who will pay for your expenses

22:54my god i mean she's a nun for christ's sake

22:58she's literally the opposite of someone who should take

23:02but she's an elder

23:04what if she's lost her mind

23:06well whether she has or she hasn't

23:08she should pay for her crimes

23:10i say lock her up

23:12yeah

23:13throw away the key

23:14well that's not fair she deserves her dignity

23:19bad habits have consequences

23:23if you are guilty of your offenses

23:27no more lies and empty defenses

23:31only justice served and your prayers of repentance

23:36it pisses me off

24:01they didn't investigate it

24:03they weren't going to investigate it

24:04that's when we the parents all complained

24:07and went right to the torrance police department

24:09now there's an investigation

24:11it's on

24:12there's a lot of betrayal and feelings of anger

24:15back down with some major shock

24:16at a catholic parish in california

24:18a local nun accused of embezzling money

24:21from the saint james catholic school of torrance

24:23administrators from the school didn't want to file charges against the nun

24:26tonight some parents tell us they're furious

24:28it's a crime

24:29we are dealing with the allegation of misappropriation of funds

24:32i like to know what they did with the money

24:34where does this go like how many people are involved in this is it one person or is this a criminal enterprise

24:39paper doesn't lie surveillance doesn't lie

24:42and when you have casinos in las vegas filing reports saying hey there's winnings going on for a nun

24:48and someone else is with her

24:51that's going to raise some flags

24:55without the parents this investigation never happens

25:03they prompted the church you need to report it we need to figure out what's going on

25:07and at that point the church starts working with torrance police department

25:14they reach out to our friends over the fbi

25:16the fbi looks at it says hey this is a financial case you know we need some help on it so they called us

25:22and then it boils down to what can we actually prove

25:26when we started our investigation the church at the time like hey this is out here but we're not going to help you basically

25:39and so for us it took some steps

25:41starting at 4pm today the torrance police department beefed up their staffing just in case parents and families wanted to come by and give them their own evidence

25:49if anyone had any perhaps canceled checks or any type of tuition payments that they feel were compromised in any way

25:56we're requesting that they come down and speak with our detectives and provide their information

26:00they had an open house we went into rooms they made copies they took hard copies of checks

26:05it's like a jigsaw puzzle with witness interviews records review all of the financial analysis

26:11it always starts with how is the money made or obtained in this case right

26:16and we learned that by virtue of her position of trust

26:20Mary Margaret Cooper had access to bank accounts

26:23her bank account that was set up church knew about it because that's where her stipend was

26:28she also had access to this dormant savings account that had been set up years if not decades before we found out about the fraud

26:35between the two of those once money would get in there

26:38we call it skimming right when money comes in and you just kind of take a little bit here and there

26:43so she would take a check that was supposed to go say for tuition and put that into the bank account that she controlled

26:50and at that point we start looking at lifestyle

26:56I think initially when we started looking nothing jumped out she's a nut she swore to poverty

27:01but the financial records were intact the bank records were all intact

27:04from there it's pretty easy to see right where's money going

27:08we see trips to Vegas trips to Reno trips to Tahoe

27:13thankfully for us we have really good relationships with a lot of casinos

27:16we have a name we run the name and all of these casino reports pop up

27:19we know Mary Margaret Cooper likes to gamble

27:22then we can pull up surveillance video and kind of see people coming and going

27:26and what their favorite game is what their betting habits are and some of the other things

27:30what was her favorite game is she a slots lady

27:36but most frequently we saw another nun Lana Chang who was with her

27:49now take a look at this this is Lana Chang a woman who also worked at the school and is also implicated in the fraud case

27:55at that point you start to hear that sister Lana Chang was put together with sister Mary Margaret

28:01like back in the 80s at a different school and then they were brought over to St. James together

28:05and they've been here together for like 30 years

28:08and then you find out they live together and then they travel together

28:12you don't know if their relationships more than business

28:17and that's when that smoke became a freaking giant fire

28:22bad habits have consequences

28:32time to answer all our questions

28:37it was us who took the do-re-mi

28:42we are under full suspicion don't you see

28:46and now is the time

28:48to minimize our crime

28:50and if we just stick to our story

28:52we should be just fine

28:54oh sure

28:56it was too easy to skim from the top

28:58but don't go looking for the moolah

29:00it's in Vegas in the slice

29:02no

29:04it's a gambling addiction

29:06yes

29:07addiction is to blame

29:08but have compassion

29:10we're just victims of this sinful game

29:12bad habits have consequences

29:16if you are guilty of your offenses

29:20no more lies and empty defenses

29:24only justice served and your prayers of repentance

29:30we just wanna travel

29:34the world

29:40live freely and have fun

29:42after a lifetime

29:44of being the perfect nun

29:46a sin takes a second

29:48but a lifetime of service

29:50once sacred

29:52now forsaken

29:54they're co-conspirators

30:04and sister mary margaret was the mastermind

30:06she was the rich uncle

30:14looking back on it

30:16a parent's not necessarily gonna believe a kid at those ages

30:19but sister mary margaret we used to call her sister mary money

30:22it seemed like she always cared about the money

30:24was very pushy about fundraisers

30:26different parents have different stories

30:29their kids were asked by sister

30:31to go get something out of the backseat of her car

30:33and go home and tell mom hey you know

30:35sister's got rolls of cash under her seat

30:37it was never questioned

30:39it was sister mary margaret

30:41she could be like this super dictator person

30:45punishment wise she had a pretty short fuse

30:48and i remember you'd have to walk the line

30:51recessed lunch instead of like doing physical activity

30:53which you're probably like legally supposed to do

30:55you'd have to like walk the line in front of everyone

30:57like a big square around the four square thing

30:59it was basically public humiliation

31:01all the time

31:07when i was i think it was fourth grade

31:09sister mary margaret picked me up and threw me against the wall

31:12sister mary margaret was running the show

31:17she had her finger on the pulse of pretty much everything going on at the school

31:21they did not do this alone

31:25because it was too big

31:27many pastors went through

31:31many teachers

31:33a lot of office staff

31:35sister mary margaret reports to a lot of different people

31:38and nobody caught this for 20 30 years

31:42nobody

31:44the church wanted this to be quiet handled internally

31:48from the start

31:50i believe she ran a syndicate

31:54and it's very hard to imagine

31:56a nun can run a syndicate for 20 or 30 years without help

32:00but when the lights came on the cockroaches ran to the corners

32:14we always hate to judge people by their worst day right

32:18this is not that like she had a series of bad days

32:20like perpetrating this fraud for a long time

32:22is a culmination of a lot of bad days and a lot of poor judgment

32:26and in this case we want to know how did she cover it up

32:34for retirement every time i would go visit sister mary margaret

32:38she would be at her desk and i would sit on the other side and we would chat

32:42when this was going on and i didn't know what was going on

32:45sister mary margaret started acting really cagey

32:50she got up and took me around and brought a chair over and turned us like this

32:55so i wasn't facing her desk

32:57my gut was there was something going on her desk that she did not want me to see

33:02she knew the audit was coming up

33:06she got together with a couple of folks in the office and started altering documents

33:11she was shredding records that would definitively show that she's been embezzling money for years

33:19and when you have somebody that's destroying evidence that shows us what their mentality was

33:24it shows your willfulness you know we call that willfulness

33:27you knew what you were doing was wrong so much so that you took extra steps to cover it up

33:31but bank records don't lie

33:33and for parents it's our hard-earned money

33:37when the investigation started the church came out saying we believe they took somewhere in the $70,000 to $80,000 range

33:53Debbie spent three days at the local bank going over every check that we wrote in the last seven years

33:59because that's as far back as the bank had records

34:01and all of our checks that we intended for the school

34:05were routed to Sister Mary Market

34:08she funneled about $90,000 of ours at least

34:11over the 16 years

34:13over 16 years

34:14there was $800,000 minimum that we proved was missing

34:21but it's very difficult for us to track cash

34:24the fundraisers would raise tens of thousands of dollars

34:30you know we were bringing in anywhere between $6,000 on a bad year to about $12,000 for a golf tournament

34:37big gym saloon was $4,000 or $5,000 for one night

34:41the gift wrap fundraiser would bring in about $25,000 or $35,000 a year

34:46but the harvest festival was the big money maker

34:50it was bringing about $150,000 for a weekend

34:53I mean that's profit

34:56a lot of us parents got together

34:58and each year

35:00each year there was about $350,000 to $400,000 in cash going through that school

35:05that nobody's ever seen

35:07so by our own account

35:09if you go back to when the bank account started

35:12that number is about $2.4 million

35:15our evidence was very very clear

35:23we knew what was going on

35:24we pushed that story out to the public

35:26and once the gig was up

35:28she admitted to it

35:30well a Torrance nun accused of gambling with school funds

35:34had just pleaded guilty in court

35:36according to the plea agreement

35:38Kruper embezzled money from St. James for a period of 10 years

35:41Kruper also is accused of directing St. James employees

35:44to alter and destroy financial records during a school audit

35:49she did it and she did it to us

35:53but she still needed to be held accountable for the actions that she took

36:00she pled guilty and when you have a plea on the table

36:03we want those members of the school and the parents to have some closure

36:07but sentencing is always left up to the federal judge

36:10and usually when we see people in a position of trust

36:13they fight it till the end

36:15they feel this sense of being entitled to the actions that they took

36:20she said she had a gambling addiction

36:22and spent it gambling and was in debt

36:26our attorneys say the 79 year old has been suffering from mental illness

36:30to support a gambling habit

36:32she stole the money from a torn school to feed a gambling habit

36:35we read a statement to the court

36:39please your honor validate us by enforcing the maximum sentence as prescribed by the law

36:45taking money from other people is wrong

36:48i know the judges were catholic

36:51sister mary margaret's attorney was a big catholic

36:54and what about sister lana

36:56she had to know everything

36:57everything sister mary margaret did

36:59they were lockstep

37:01what do we think is going to happen

37:04in the federal system you have guidelines

37:17and guidelines are set like in this case by the amount of money that's stolen

37:20initially the sentencing guidelines was like three years and some change

37:26three years and some change

37:31well the judge was raised catholic

37:33he went to a catholic school

37:35he attributed where he was as a federal judge to a nun

37:40and so the judge ultimately decided to depart from the recommended sentence

37:46so mary margaret was sentenced to a year and a day in jail

37:49one year and a day

37:51she didn't serve the full year

37:58she did a halfway house from what i understand after a few months in jail

38:02is she in jail still or no? no? what did she do?

38:05she got four months in jail

38:08she only got four months? that's comical

38:15the sister said she was going to be sequestered i think was her term

38:18more or less you're locked down in your room

38:21you're grounded at a convent

38:22she's never been grounded

38:24i've heard stories of her in and around town

38:27going to parties

38:31sister londa chang was never charged

38:32she's out of retirement now

38:34at a school

38:37never charged

38:39their life just kept on going

38:46because that's

38:47just the way they wanted it to play out

38:54are you still a catholic?

38:55no

38:59we wanted to raise good catholics

39:01and my son will go to mass

39:04my daughters are not

39:08they don't like to discuss that time

39:10they're very embarrassed

39:11they're very angry

39:12they're still hurt

39:16when the boys heard what was going on

39:19they questioned

39:22a lot of things

39:23they lost all respect

39:26for the institution of the catholic church

39:29the nuns are you know

39:32trying to teach us to be these good people

39:34and you know

39:35live a life of god

39:36and do things the right way

39:37you would expect them to lead by example

39:39and they definitely didn't

39:45we lost a lot of friends over this

39:46this was a very divisive event

39:49in the saint james community

39:51and we don't feel welcome there anymore

39:54as a matter of fact

39:55i went back there

39:56right at the beginning of it

39:57and monsignor mike

40:01absolutely

40:02scolded me

40:04and i left there in tears

40:07i know there's a lot less people at saint james

40:09after this

40:10i know the saint james community

40:12that we had with all those parents

40:13is extremely fractured

40:14and will never be repaired

40:16because if you can believe this

40:17some people still think she's innocent

40:22at the end of the day

40:23i think the sentencing doesn't pay enough tribute to

40:26i think the damage that was done

40:28we were not in a position to return funds

40:30like in a normal you know investment scheme

40:32or something like that

40:33like when you spend money at casinos and on trips

40:35it's gone

40:37according to the investigators

40:38the money was

40:40lost gambling

40:41lost gambling

40:43my personal opinion has always been that sister may margaret

40:45and sister lana

40:46were taking it and stocking it away for their retirement

40:49and i feel like that money

40:51is out there somewhere

40:55that money came from the parents

40:57to pay for their children's education

41:00and we were always told

41:01if we had more money our children would get an even better education

41:04clearly that was a lie

41:05clearly that was a lie

41:07but you believe because we have blind faith

41:10and when they say you lead a faithful life in the catholic church

41:12maybe that's what they mean

41:14blind faith

41:16you can trust us

41:23and where is she now?

41:25i am not sure where sister mary margaret is

41:27she actually still works with students in los angeles

41:34no she doesn't

41:42our story ends where it began

41:44our once blessed school

41:47used to be a sunny place where we learned God's rules

41:52turns out there was a bigger lesson to be made

41:55not everything gets punishment

41:58so stop

42:00and listen to what we say

42:08let's dismiss tradition of blind submission

42:25it's definitely something that we do

42:28we need to be in the past

42:30we and there are a few people as we hold students

42:31that stay in this past

42:34and here are some questions

42:35for the rest of us

42:36we will be able to miss out

42:38we'll be able to ask questions

42:39if at some point say

42:41we'll walk by us

42:43we will be able to make them

42:44in the past

42:47to remember

42:49we have a few people

42:51who will meet
