Six Buddhist monks have quit after being secretly filmed drinking, smoking and playing a game of poker in which more than £600000 was won. South Korean television showed shots of the monks who had gathered at a luxury lakeside hotel for a colleague’s memorial service. The monks, who played poker for 13 hours, were from the Jogye order, which has ten million followers — a fifth of the nation’s population. The head of the order made a public apology yesterday, vowing ’self-repentance’. He added: ‘Basically, Buddhist rules say don’t steal … they abused money from Buddhists for gambling.’ The episode has led to speculation of a power split within the order. South Korean TV networks aired shots of monks playing poker, some of them smoking and drinking, after gathering at a luxury lakeside hotel in late April for a fellow monk’s memorial service. ‘The stakes for 13 hours of gambling were more than 1 billion won (£541400),’ Seongho, a senior monk who uses one name, said today. He said he had reported the incident to prosecutors. Gambling outside of licensed casinos and horse racing tracks is illegal in South Korea and frowned upon by religious leaders. ‘Basically, Buddhist rules say don’t steal. Look at what they did, they abused money from Buddhists for gambling,’ Seongho said. The behaviour of the supposedly abstemious monks has led to Korean media speculation about a power split within the Jogye order.

Sarah Phillips, the recently fired ESPN gambling columnist, is doubling down after what appears to be a double fake-out. Phillips—whose true identity is still somewhat of a mystery—was reportedly hired by ESPN to be a gambling columnist for the network’s website about a year ago. But according to Deadspin.com, the young woman has since used her ESPN position to scam at least two people, demanding they pay her for everything from fictional website advertising to bad gambling advice. Some have even wondered if Sarah Phillips is a real person or just the name used by a ghostwriter. Whoever she is, an ESPN spokesperson tells Deadspin that Phillips has been terminated. But that hasn’t stopped Phillips from defending herself on Twitter, writing: “I made poor choices with who to trust. I’ll correct that moving forward. It’s not an excuse.” Speaking of poor choices, did ESPN really hire a freelance columnist without ever meeting them in person?
