Based on the story of the temple manager, what can be inferred about the betrayal of trust and its consequences?

The story within Chapter 47 illustrates a significant betrayal of trust and hints at its karmic consequences. A wealthy man was made the 'final decision-maker' for a temple renovation, with all the collected funds placed in his hands. The community trusted him to manage the project 'accurately and honestly.' However, being the 'embodiment of stinginess,' he betrayed this trust completely. He spent all the community's money, left the work half-done, and refused to part with a 'cent from his pocket.' The placement of this story immediately after the snake and frog encounter implies this betrayal is the origin of the enmity that led to rebirth in lower forms, suggesting such actions have severe, lasting consequences.
