His "business" was a BARELY legal scam, that could have been toppled by lawsuits, but not by charges of fraud. He knew the fraud laws well. His favourite passage:

"The wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous." Claims to have learned that from Creflo Dollar. Probably did.

He had a staff of young women - all single mothers who REALLY needed the work, and he stopped paying them. I heard with my own ears that God had told him not to sell his possessions, especially the Harley, because he was going to teach his (future tense, imaginary) son to ride on that one.

And yes, he stopped paying me, too. Amazingly, it was just after he bought an Escalade and took 3 other people to LV, where he flashed his largess with a dinner in the Luxor steakhouse. $2960 for dinner for 4.

So nothing surprises me from this crowd. OK....the fact that he was only Creflo Dollar Crazy and not Rushdoony Crazy is a mild surprise. But then, he's got everything he needs from the name-it-and-claim-it sect, and doesn't need the truly Old Testament on crack teachings.
