Shocker: Christian Televangelist Discovered to be Giant Fraud

from Stand Firm by Greg Griffith

The moment I first saw the woman with the neon pink hair, some twenty years ago, it was obvious to me she was a charlatan. But it was only a few years after Jim and Tammye Faye Bakker were exposed as charlatans, and two things seemed clear to me:

One, that the pink-haired nightmare was obviously doing her best Tammy Faye impression; and two, it was such a bad Tammy Faye impression, that surely she would be laughed out of the televangelist industry, even - no,especially - by the throngs who had just been duped by the Bakkers..

Boy, was I wrong.

Not only has she hung around for what seems like forever, but she’s helped prove once again that the depth of gullibility - and bad taste, and lack of discernment - among the televangelist-viewing public has no bottom:

Two former employees of the world’s largest Christian television channel Trinity Broadcasting Network are accusing the non-profit of spending $50 million of its funding on extravagant personal expenses.

Among purchases, the network founded by Televangelists Paul and Jan Crouch, is accused of misappropriating its ‘charitable assets’ toward a $50 million jet, 13 mansions and a $100,000-mobile home for Mrs Crouch’s dogs.

Their granddaughter, Brittany Koper, 26, recently filed her allegations in court after a brief appointment as the network’s chief finance director in July.

She claims she was fired in September after discovering the ‘illegal financial schemes’ according to the lawsuit obtained by the Los Angeles Times, and consequently reporting them to Mr Crouch.
Her lawsuit follows a second by another former employee and Koper in-law, Joseph McVeigh, the uncle of Mrs Koper’s husband, Michael Koper, who detailed the opulent spending by the Christian network.
