It’s a good thing the Board was there to do the right thing. Course they know they would also be liable should they not have complied.

The Mainse brothers are not the only business-naive individuals. The investors were too.

There is no free lunch. 5% return on investments in a year is fairly safe. But 50%? I am not business-saavy and I wouldn’t have invested a dime.

If the investors thought that by investing they were helping the ministry grow then that is truly sad. If they invested for their own gain they probably won’t trust so easily again.

JMO, but I think it’s time for Crossroads to find other means of ministry. With the housing crunch and recession perhaps they could serve low-income individuals and build something on a rock (so to speak) instead of sand (Ponzi schemes). The statements made by ‘the family’ earlier said nothing – it was all ‘christian-speak’ with a healthy dash of ‘poor me’.

Credibility has been lost as a result of this situation. Patriarchal, nepotism, secretive….just a few words that come to mind.

I just hope that the public will understand and forgive them.

Torontonian – But is their real sin that they are business-naive and acted out of a desire to share or they are not good Samaritans and don’t care about the victims they had created?

I don’t see anybody doing anything for those who were hurt and robbed in this alleged Ponzi fraud.

Whatever happens to the two sons, perhaps the whole
matter should be a time for every person to reassess
his role.

Such an event helps to re-define a person. It’s a
tipping point in life and a person changes as a result
of it.

Perhaps the sons will move into non-public ministry
and work directly in the field instead of a TV studio.
There are administrative role to fill as well but with their
recent business problems, I would suggest a non-financial
role for them.

I cannot believe the sons were involved with premeditation
to “rope in” people. I believe that they are business-naive
and acted out of a desire to share. Their innocence and
naivete were their downfall.

I just hope that the public will understand and forgive them.

Goodness knows, the last thing people need to be is
hysterical about the evolving situation.
Quiet rational thinking is the order of the day.

“The Mainse brothers are not facing charges”

Says who?

The FBI sat in on Gordon Driver motion to release seized funds last week which was denied in the US civil case? Obviously the American and Canadian law enforcement are finished with this whole matter?

So it’s premature to speculate that the Mainse will not be facing charges! Mind you David Mainse and sons are not discussing the fact that it’s the Christian thing to do to help the victims who were duped by the Mainse?

But as in many nepotism family ministry only the Mainse are important not the victims who are also members of the body of Christ!

So as far I am concerned this whole matter is far from over!
