EN: Embezzlement; squandering
This is the 'biglang yaman' story with a dark twist. When the condo association treasurer suddenly has a new car and goes on a European tour, you might suspect some pagkalustay of funds. It's spending money that isn't yours, often with disastrous, headline-worthy results.
From 'pagka-' (act of) + 'lustay' (squander, embezzle).
A legal and financial term referring to the misappropriation of funds.
