Not a huge fan of this guy, but what was he doing wrong? Assuming of course it really was to help the workers at the church. They were workers that paid taxes just like anyone else.
There are stories of people falsifying their employment records and stealing millions. Those make sense. Was he falsifying payroll records?

“Because we’re the government, and when we tell you to shut down we won’t compensate you for it, but will foe everyone else we told to shut down.”
Why?
“Because we’re the government and you are a church”
