There was no divine power on one monk’s side as he was arrested for cheating his student’s parents out of money in Kampong Cham province’s Kampong Siem district.

Promising eight people that he could find their offspring jobs in the government, the ascetic took in $129,500, but when it was discovered he wasn’t as well-connected as he professed to be, police were called in to make the arrest.

The nepotistic novice was sent to the provincial court to face charges.
