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?
Scum.
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.
That'll happen to good people. They cheated God. They'd best watch out.
More evidence hand-outs are ineffective,
if people don't have to work to get something,
it won't be appreciated,
no matter how good the Churches 'intentions' were.
Sad, but not the least bit surprising. I'd wager the honest people victimized by Katrina have long since gotten on with their lives. All that's left are scammers like the despicable couple in this story.
I'll also wager this couple will blow through the 88 grand in less than a year.
Note to self: know the recipient of your charity.......
Socialist dimocrat voters. Pure and simple, they are the scum of the earth. As for "take it up with God." Oh, yeah, you will pal. And YOU will not like what HE has to say. Bastards.
Nearly 15 years ago, my wife and I gave away a car to a welfare mom to help get her started.
The car was a clean VW Rabbit.
She said she didn't like it. Then she turned around and traded it in for a new car while my wife and I still drove used cars.
We felt it was the right thing to do at the time. But today, we would have a hard time doing it again.
Making it a legal loan would have prevented this.
