A: Hey! Did you hear about the Unification Church?
B: No! What’s new?

A: The Tokyo High Court ruled against them! They have to pay a lot of money now.

B: Wow, really? How much?

A: Over 64 million yen! That’s like, 412,000 dollars!

B: That’s crazy! What happened?

A: It’s about a woman who donated a ton of money to them. Like, over 100 million yen total!

B: No way! That’s a fortune! Did she want the money back?

A: Well, she tried to say she didn't want it back, but she was older then and had dementia.

B: Dementia? That’s so sad. Her daughter is involved, right?

A: Yeah, her daughter sued them. She said her mom was pressured to give so much money.

B: So, the court agreed with the daughter?

A: Yep! They said the group’s ways of asking for donations were illegal.

B: That’s a big deal, isn’t it?

A: It is! This is the first time they've ruled against them like this. It might help other people get compensation too.

B: That's really good news. Poor lady!
