Thai Monk Arrested Over $9 Million Temple Embezzlement

Imagine a very important church, like one that many people visit to pray and give money.

The person in charge of this church, a monk named Phra Thammachiranuwat, is accused of taking more than $9 million of the money for himself instead of using it for the church.

Police found out the money was being sent to illegal gambling games.

This has made some people upset and question where they should donate, but others are reminding people not to lose faith in their religion and not to assume all religious leaders are bad.

Police arrested the monk and are looking into whether others were involved.
