EVANGELIST'S TAX EVASION TRIAL CONTINUES IN COVINGTON
This is the church leader who believes that the end of the world started on May 27:
“Just by the credit cards alone, the evidence will show you, from 2004 to 2008, the Weinlands had over $500,000 of personal expenses paid for by the church ...,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBride said during opening statements on Monday. “That in and of itself isn’t really good business practice, but it isn’t inherently illegal. The crime here is mostly evading income taxes.”Cincinnati Enquirer/Jim Hannah
McBride said Weinland failed to pay $244,000 in federal income taxes from 2004 through 2008.
