Money, the Root of Evil

The religion i belong to runs schools, hospitals, publishing houses. There have been many instances where the treasurers (sometimes with the help of higher administrators) of this establishments have secretly pocketed the money that passes through them.

Eventually they were found out but in all the instances i know of, none were brought to justice. Some of them even migrated to the US.

I'm curious - was it worth it? It seems that these people are actually living better lives while the institutions they stole from are in debt - or are they really happy?
