Cho just Named It And Claimed It.

Piper is right. Sex and the love of money have been the downfall of many preachers.

From the article: Yonggi Cho who pastors Yoido Full Gospel Church and oversees a network of churches numbering 800,000, was found guilty by a South Korean court for committing breach of trust and corruption amounting to $12 million, according to Yonhap News Agency. He received a suspended sentence of three years in prison with a five year probation and was ordered to pay a penalty of $4.7 million by Seoul Central District Court on Feb. 20.

Well, let's see: He pilfers at least 12 mil...
...has to pay back $4.7 mil of that...
...which leaves pilfer "earnings" of at least $7.3 mil...
...And in exchange for that $7.3 mil...
...he does three years' prison time...
...Which means, in effect, that the church is paying him over $2.4 mil a year for three years to sit in jail and probably write his next book (& sermons for when he gets out)...

Sounds pretty cushy to me.
