FLDS members arrested for fraud and money laundering.
February 23, 2016 at 7:13 pm
Federal charges related to the SNAP program.
Quote:" Each of the 11 people indicted face one count of conspiring to defraud the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and one charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Prosecutors say church leaders ordered members to use their SNAP benefits to buy food and then give it to the FLDS Storehouse, a communal clearinghouse that collects and distributes commodities to the community. The leaders tell church members that they must obtain their food and household goods solely through the storehouse, the indictment alleges. A large percentage of FLDS Church members living in Short Creek receive SNAP benefits, amounting to millions of dollars in benefits per year, the news release said."

Jaysus, this is awful. The next thing you know, churches will be taking money from stupid people under false pretenses, skipping out on taxes, mentally and physically abusing children...oh, wait. Never mind.

Um . . .
They have a 1st Amendment right to have the taxpayers underwrite their RELIGIOUS breeding colony.
Sheesh, don't you guys here know anything ???
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Another gem from the same story. Talk about not taking the time to cover their asses.
Quote:Prosecutors also claim that FLDS leaders created two small convenience stores as fronts for accepting electronic money transfers drawn from SNAP benefits. SNAP beneficiaries swiped their cards at the stores but did not receive any goods in return; instead, the funds were allegedly put towards church expenses such as a tractor purchase. According to the indictment, the convenience stores made more sales than franchisees like Walmart and Costco.

It's standard FLDS practice to defraud the government. They call it, "bleeding the beast."
