His “firm” is Eagle Mountain International Church, Inc. ECIM for short—
Google map search for Newark, TX just West of Fort Worth, and you can easily find (by satellite view) the “home” that this clown claims to own (but it is ECIM that owns it, and pays his bills, and maintenance allowance).
Several hundred acres on the lake, with adjacent private airfield named on aviation maps— Kenneth Copeland Airport, and his broadcast studios there at end of runway. A little puzzled— lots of gray squares of some sq. footage all around the area and on the property. Turns out these are Fracking wells that are producing- piped out. A little more research and you learn that the 2% “back in” royalties (as they are called are paid to the “po” minister his-self— EVEN though the wells are owned by the Church by ECIM.
Pays... no taxes for where he lives, get 2% of a good bit of oil back in royalties, plus the salary for his begging bowl. But it gets better— oil depletion allowance puts more money in the church and he gets a piece of that also. He claims the 25K sq foot house on the lake is his (it isn’t) and the property (it isn’t).
But- he, as ex officio Board Member of the BOD of ECIM— has the right of last approval— that is to say- his signature can allow or not allow a Board decision to go through— he overrides their vote— it’s in the By Laws! This guy is one piece of serious greasy fraud crook, and his kids, his wife his everybody are in on the gravy train, and the 3 private jets.
Like the old guy in Del Rio, TX-— Billy Sunday (’blessed CREDIT with... HIM!) and “you can’t lose with the stuff I use.
There is a video of him chumming for jesus with his buddy Jesse DuPlantis where they discuss how essential it is for a “ministry” like their’s to have a private jet. Cause they be global and soooooo important to themselves. Look at them— both look like they could easily have run a body shop, and maybe... did, the hair and all.
He sounds like Jett Rink from “Giant,” if Jett had become a preacher.
