Laura Silsby is a scam artist who is in financial trouble, has a bunch of outstanding judgements against her back in the US, and is using this scheme to solicit donations, quite possibly intending to go into the lucrative business of illegal adoptions. It’s not clear that the other people in the arrested group realized what they were involved in. Information put together by Silsby had been posted on the websites of at least 2 Southern Baptist churches, leading members to trust that the operation was legitimate. The only person other than Silsby who is listed on the very recent incorporation papers for the organization running this, is Silsby’s 24 year old live-in nanny, Charisa Coulter, who may be a co-scammer, or may be a naive young woman who got sucked into helping without realizing it was an illegal scam. Oddly, there hasn’t been a word about any of Silsby’s own children — how many? what ages? where are they? where is their father? — inquiring minds want to know. If she has a live-in nanny, presumably she has children.
For background, see the previous threads I linked in the next post, especially the first one.
If all this is true, then I agree. GUILTY.
Again, good work.
