Some years ago I had a then popular ‘Christian’ financial advisor and I allocated several thousand into a ‘startup fund/venture’ that was to promote his growing book and tapes sales and we would profit from the growth. It was a bad decision upfront and not due to the fund losing asset value but that supposedly his brother stole all the money in that fund. We investors never got a cent back from that theft. Some ‘Christian’ advisor— James L. Paris-— stay away.
