ATLANTA -- CBS Atlanta uncovers Bishop Eddie Long and another local mega church leader are wrapped up in a questionable mortgage venture that is being investigated by the feds.

Tonight at 11, Wendy Saltzman tracks them down, and exposes how these bishops put their congregations at risk for losing their homes.

We were the first to tell you about Matrix Capital's long list of victims. The company promised to lower people's mortgages for $1500 upfront.

So why did Bishop Long and Bishop Gary Hawkins invite the company into their churches to prey on their flock? Only CBS Atlanta is asking them the Tough Questions.
