Money gets passed around within this cult per orders from the “prophet”. They certainly have a huge number of women and children on public assistance in Utah and Arizona, and those checks go straight into the “church’s” coffers. You can be sure some of it has ended up at the Texas ranch.
And most of these women and children moved to Texas within the past couple of years. I’ll be very surprised if further investigation doesn’t find that a lot of them are still getting welfare checks sent to their old address. Since Texas still hasn’t pinned down firm IDs on a lot of the women and children, and so many of the surnames are duplicates (and change every time a wife and children get “reassigned”), it would be hard for Texas authorities to trace out of state welfare payments.
Evidently the sect came up with a scheme in other states to defraud the welfare system but they somehow decided not to use the same scheme in Texas? Why is that, do you think?
“They certainly... You can be sure some of it... I’ll be very surprised if... “
In other words, you have no evidence whatsoever and are just making it up as you go.
Logically, if they were trying to stay “under the radar” they would stay as far away from any kind of social services as possible. It would be a stone around their neck, inviting government intrusion into their lives.
Of course, if you have any evidence to the contrary from a credible source, please post it.
