Looks like somemore charming NOLA folks at work here.
I don't know what to say, other than just shake my head in disgust.
I wouldn't be surprised to find-out that they're dems..
Nice pair of NOLA bastards.
Clearly, it's Bush's fault.
Take the money and run?
They did a good thing. I hope it doesn't affect the helping in the future. Maybe the next time, it can revert back to the church for approval of sale or something.
Scum.
NOLA?
Charity is all very well, but churches (or anyone else for that matter)need to make damn sure they deserve it. I suspect a reasonably competent attorney could have written the deal up so as to preclude the sale of the property for a few years.
Maybe the publicity can get the IRS on them.
Your words are prophetic, young Joshua.
God will, indeed, take it up with you sooner or later.
Until then, rest easy if you can.
All debts are collected, sooner or later.
I suppose that the church could think of it as having given them a $88,000 cash gift for only $75,000.
What's really stunning is that the church even had a committee to check these people out!
It's very sad to see how these idiots scammed the very people who wanted to provide them help.
I wonder if there is a lawyer in that church who could go after this charming couple. From the supplied info it does look like a case of fraud but I am not a lawyer. The church should get their money back and give that house to a family who truly deserves it. If the charming con artists can't get the money back then maybe the state prison would serve as a good home for them. Hey who knows Delores Thompson may like jail better then she did that lovely house. I am sure she would fit in much better too.
Hopefully God will also bless this church family.
That'll happen to good people. They cheated God. They'd best watch out.
Not to piss in anybodies Wheaties but the Church gave the house to them. They can do what ever they please with it. It was a gift. And the goodness in a gift is in the giving. If they really don't like the area and want to go home, what is wrong with selling the house and buying one in NOLA? If they are scam artist they will get the chance to take it up with God. The Church still did a wonderful thing, and will also get to take that up with God.
Somday, it'll be the other way around moron...
I think they ought to chalk it up to an expensive lesson and step away.
