a. It is not the place of the Feds to ask the church to return these funds.
b. Now that the church knows this is dirty money I think it is right and good to return it, if the money is returned to those bilked out of their savings in the first place.
..don’t press Kerry for the 7 million he stole from the DNC after his campaign fizzled
Two different stories. Two different answers.
...let’s see if Hilda returns all the money she scrapes from “donors” in this attempt at a miserable presidential run. It’s about it’s ever been about with Hilda..$$$$$$$$
Generally speaking The YBPDLN Ping List is published infrequently, however based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season.
Management will not ping members to every thread addressing megachurch pastors, but will tag articles of interest with the KEYWORD: YBPDLN.
If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

did he pay any taxes? Maybe IRS should return the taxes to the victims as well
Carlos Danger also took a lot of money during his farce of a campaign. He calls it his War Chest.
But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
1 Chronicles 21:24
Which is probably a big part of why they were targeted for shaming.
I think that the church can and must be forced by legal action to pay back that money. It was constructive fraud and they are not entitled to the sums involved. There are many legal precedents for such cases, and just because they didn’t know it was stolen money when they received the money does not mean they are entitled to keep it.
No, I reckon it was the fact that they received stolen money and are refusing to pay it back that is why they are being targeted for shaming. Of course it seems that they have no shame, but the courts will see to the restitution nonetheless.

Can the church name people that it helped during that time and ask them to return the money? Why stop with the church in following the funds?
Yeah, they took dirty money, have acknowledged it, refused to give it back, and then tried to rationalize their refusal.
And are trying to hide behind Jesus to justify their crime.
So if he bought a car the car dealer must “pay back” the money?
What about a restaurant he ate vat? Does it have to “pay back” the money?
Etc...
Agreed. Receiving stolen property is a crime regardless of knowledge of its provenance.
