So - let's get to the gist of this whole thing - is Benny Hinn defrauding his contributors and supporters? After all - this is a blog about fraud and it would be a tremendous waste of time (not to mention being off-topic) if this whole thread did not lead to some kind of statement about Benny Hinn defrauding his contributors and taking the money to live a good life.
One of my most vivid memories is 1987, when various televangilists, most especially Jim and Tammeye Faye Baker, who were accused of massive fraud and deceipt with some of the televangalists going to jail. Ted Koppell of "Nightline"virtually restarted his career on the antics of these clowns. I suppose this is where my interest in fraud and fraud related events was ignited.
It's easy to group Benny Hinn with this group. After all, many of the elements are the same. You have a way-too slick televangalist who lives the high life. He preaches a gospel of "money theology- " stating that God and Jesus want you to be millionaires. He has his own private jet, luxury homes, stays at five-star hotels, shops in Beverly Hills - you get the idea.
It's easy to therefore group Benny Hinn with the 1987 televangalists who were convicted of fraud.
But - is this correct?
