"Accounta-bila-Buddies." That would have kept him on the straight and narrow. But then again, who do you think he was sharing the money with in his church?

Kind of unrelated, but when googling the church to see if there were any more articles, I found this. Neat idea at least.

What is the legal issue here?
800,000
I suspect the transactions were paper checks and not electronic transfers. Doesn't matter. I suspect there were as usual less that 2 dozen transfers. If the church has to provide its records in a criminal audit, would there be an alarm if the accounts didn't match offerings deposits?
The reporter says the money went to the church. I suspect he pulled out a lot for himself.
Just a side note. Funds taken by theft are treated as income. Repayment of "embezzled funds" is not a tax deduction. He has to pay taxes on the money. He has to report it on his taxes. Rarely do embezzlements also get crimonal process by reason of the IRS.

My friend with a small hamburger stand went to the bank on Monday to get one dollar bills for the cash register. The bank said they couldn't help him because the baptist church hadn't made their Monday deposit yet.

Perhaps it should be past tense then. It's just still unfathomable to me that someone that I heard speak and admired so much was doing this on the side. He seemed like a great man of God may work better.

I sort of "correct" the saying when I hear it... "You mean a man of a Great God right?"

Yeah, I can go along with that.
