Based on what? I just went back and looked at 7 pages of my previous posts. Zero name calling. This is the first in years.

If anyone has a reputation its you DD. You're trigger happy waiting to get me out. And why? Im not sure.

You post proves that you read my writings with a certain slant. Quit being so biased against me. I feel like Trump and you're MSNBC.

Oops- was that name calling?

It was/is sincere. I PM'd carolyn. I really am sorry. I'll edit the mention too.

Plus, if you stop being friends with me it will make it awkward when we sit next to each other in orlando.

Well the issue got sidetracked but the question is legitimate: did we recoup any of the money?

I know it's only a million and what's a million among friends... Razz

Seriously, does anyone give a rip? Seems to me as long as nepotism and politics survive everything is a-okay

If I remember right some good Samaritan replaced the money. Or was that at some other time. Anyway if it was replaced there was no reason to recover, in some eyes! And there could also have een an 'agreement' if I remember right. (which is iffy now-a-days (the remembering) according to my wife) Smile

I just want HQ to tell us.
How much did we get back?

I know the man convicted is already back out - so I guess he paid his dues.

â€œThe Church of God's International Executive Committee released a statement saying the organization had cooperated fully with the federal investigation and that much of the stolen money was covered by insurance.â€

I donâ€™t think we will ever find out whole story just a sanitized version. They have circled the wagons pretty tight . They are just gonna blame it on previous administrations when the folks in power have been in the discussions since the problem broke out. Deferr the responsibility to others.

Wondering if any of you actually read the last article I posted from Aug 2015:

Former Cleveland Church Of God Official Gets 34-Month Federal Prison Sentence For Stealing $889,766 From Church
Thursday, August 13, 2015

A former top Church of God International official was sentenced on Thursday afternoon to serve 34 months in federal prison for stealing $889,766 from the Cleveland, Tn.-based church.

Judge Curtis Collier told Troy Scot Carter, "The real victims are the members of the church."

Prosecutor James Brooks said many of the churches "are in small, rural communities and they don't drive Porsches." He said Carter bought a Porsche and took trips to New York with some of the money.

The defendant told the court, "I've lost it all."

He said, "I never would have thought I would have put myself in this position."

Carter said that "a bad business venture" led to the embezzlement over a two-year period.

He said, "I have apologized to the church leaders. I have done everything in my power to help them recover the money."

Attorney John Cavett said the church has sued a second individual allegedly involved in taking the money, and he said Carter is working with church attorney Jim Logan on that case.

Carter said since his arrest he has not been allowed to have contact with his wife and two daughters. He said Cleveland auto dealer Don Ledford had given him a job and was in the courtroom in his support.

Carter was given until Sept. 14 to report to prison.

Judge Collier noted there were a number of letters in his behalf, including one from a person who called him "a model citizen" who was appointed by the mayor to a number of boards and was a founder of the greenway foundation in Cleveland.

The Cleveland audio-visual specialist had worked beginning in 2010 as the communications director for the church.

He had been charged only with a count involving a $100,000 theft involving his handling of a church convention.

The plea agreement says Carter also billed the church for $372,350 in services that his firm did not actually perform, including setting up a fictitious company.

He had rebates from hotels where conventions were held that would normally go to the church paid to himself. This amounted to $300,416.

Carter also finagled matters so that the church paid one $117,000 bill twice, and he kept one of the $117,000 checks

He was directed to make full restitution, including $250,000 that was paid out to the church by an insurance company.

****************************************

Did we know a second individual was involved? Was anyone else ever charged?

According to the last sentence, at least $250,000 was paid out by the insurance company.

I just want HQ to give a final accounting.

I never heard of there being a second individual charged. Perhaps he is the same guy as real killer OJ is looking for? No trace of him.
