It is the responsibility if the contractor to pay his taxes and not my checking transactions flagging the government.

This is just like this 2nd amendment controversy, in order to keep guns away from criminals lets infringe on everyone's rights. There is nothing we can do to change these things, but people are crazy to want to be government servants. If that pastor was doing something illegal with the money, then yes he should be prosecuted. There should not be rules to how you withdraw money that belongs to yourself.

If he had just withdrew the whole amount in one lump sum then you could say the minister did nothing wrong. Obviously he withdrew multiple times for some reason
