Baptist Group's Leaders Convicted


We learned a long time ago, if someone hands you a business with a fish on it, run for your life.

People who get rich off other people's well-intentioned faith should be horse whipped in the public square.

What is it with the fundies and all of their over-the-top crimes?

I guess when all you think about is sin and corruption, eventually that is where you wind up, eh?

There is always the danger of becoming what we hate.

Baptist Group's Leaders Convicted:

PHOENIX, July 24 -- Two former executives of a failed Southern Baptist foundation were convicted here Monday in what prosecutors said was the nation's largest fraud ever targeting members of a religious group.

William Pierre Crotts, who was president of the Baptist Foundation of Arizona, and Thomas Dale Grabinski, the group's former chief legal counsel, were each convicted of three counts of fraud and one count of conducting an illegal enterprise in a scheme that lasted decades and cheated 11,000 investors across the country of about $585 million.
