$202,000 in tithing money paid by a man convicted of bilking investors out of more than $142 million.
_______________________________________________

Let’s see...

The guy got more than $142 million...

Which means he paid more than 14.2 million in tithes...

But only $202,000 is being paid back...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The Morg needs to fire their accountants and hire new ones...

What about the rest...the ah, $14 million ????

“the church has a policy of not profiting from alleged ill-gotten gains.”

You are assuming he actually paid 10%. But the article says it was far less:

U.S. District Court filings show Val Southwick paid The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints $202,761.74 between 2001 and 2006.
