I have known of the Huffman family my entire life and would like to express some of my feelings. It is amazing how many people are sympathetic to the Huffman family saying they have lost a lot and how innocent they are because they didn’t know what was going on. Those who say this should be thinking of the hundreds of people who trusted JV and gave him their life savings—-what about them? Sympathy should first go to them. Stop and think about it—the entire Huffman family has been living “high on the hog” for YEARS while benefiting from J.V.’s lavish lifestyle. I find it hard to believe that his wife didn’t suspect that he was scamming people. Think about it, she had to know—even if she wasn’t involved in the scam with him. Also, if she truly was not a part of the scam, why was she not honest enough to have turned him in? It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that a man can’t have all the money and possessions and power that JV had by staying home every day and not having a real job. Does Gilda Huffman expect people to believe she didn’t know?—-give me a break! It was obvious to a lot of people that there had to be crooked dealings going on, for him to get rich that fast. So why was it not obvious to his wife and his parents and other close family members that he was a crook? How could his wife live with him for over 20 years and his parents live right in his front door and not suspect, when outsiders suspected him? Do they really expect us to believe that they didn’t have a clue? Anyone who believes this would believe anything! Gilda Huffman sure didn’t complain while she sat back and watched JV buy up all those possessions and keep adding more and more square footage to the compound. Bet she didn’t complain either when she used those $3,000 towel warmers and $3,000 showerheads and rode in those fancy cars! She sure was basking in the joy of all the cruises, the motor homes, the fancy cars, the trips, the indoor gym, the indoor home movie theatre, the “I Love Lucy” room (did hubby create this for her??). She wasn’t hiding out or taking cover then. Same goes for his parents and his brothers. I don’t believe they were in on the scam, but surely they had to know that he was scamming not only his friends, neighbors, & relatives, but theirs as well (in a lot of the cases) so the very least they could have done was to have turned him in, rather than stand by as they watched him scam more and more and more people and accept the lavish gifts he bestowed upon them as well. Therefore, in an indirect way, his wife and his family are also guilty!

He’s ruined generations of families for years to come. I have friends and relatives that will lose their entire retirement plans and college tuitions. The list goes on and on. I really hope he’s got big burly over friendly cell mate.

Probably the remaining millions are in a bank under a false account name maybe in another country.JV jr will may recieve 10 years if he goes to prison he will probably be out early for good behaviour he will only be in his early 50’s. He will probably be on probation for a few years then he will leave the country to “retire” this is my speculation.I could be wrong.

And he will make a ton of money selling the rights to make a cheesy B movie or book out of how he ripped off a whole christian community.

avgcitizen If you knew the family your entire life and knew what a lavious lifestyle they ALL supposively lived, then why didn’t YOU suspect anything and why didn’t YOU report it since you knew all this information? Just curious?

He is currently charged with 4 counts, but won’t there be a new charge for each investor he stole from? If so, this should add years to the possible sentence. If/when JV has a parole hearing, I’ll be there to do my best to make sure he never breathes a breath of “free” air again. I also hope that his future roommate at Central Prison gives JV a dose of “justice” each and every night. The maggot deserves everything he gets, and then some.
