Actually greed and gullibility go together like a horse and carriage. Great combination. Just that sooner or later the wheels come off the carriage and sometimes the horse gets injured.

We've seen it a lot amongst the mormons, and certainly others.

      If proper, vetted records were
      available showing the mormon
      defendants paid tithing on the
      money they nefariously obtained
      would the church give the money
      back or would they try to hang
      on to it?

      Would they pay just the original
      sums, or would they pay interest
      as well?  WWJD?

Oy. I wonder if they can seize that money too.

It depends on if the justice department can tie the tithing directly to the perpetrator.

In the case of Alvin Rust, he paid $2.4 million in tithing from his fraudulent trust fund.

The church reluctantly returned the $2.4 million.

"The church reluctantly returned the $2.4 million"

With weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

At least they got the interest from it. At 2.4M that would be a nice chunk.

My deepest apologies to Alvin Rust.

Galen Rust was the one running the scam.

Mormons are particularly good at greed and gullibility. They are world class when it comes to gullibility. "God's mad at me and won't let me retranslate the 116 pages you took."

Dumb dumb dumb
