A US pastor is convicted of stealing about $340,000 from two churches, according to reports. The conviction states that the funds were taken from church accounts and used for gambling and for personal expenses. Both outlets describe the case as involving money taken from two separate churches, totaling roughly $340,000. Details about how the theft occurred, the specific accounts involved, and the nature of the gambling expenditures are not included in the provided summaries. The second report also notes that sentencing is expected, implying the case is at the post-conviction stage. The reporting is consistent in that it identifies the defendant as a pastor in the United States, the amount stolen (over $340,000), and the alleged uses of the money (gambling and personal spending). The conviction indicates a court has found the pastor guilty, and the next procedural step is sentencing, which will determine the final penalty.
