    Parole after 6 years?! He was given 3 life sentences plus 30 years. How on earth can someone who stole so much from so many (who believed he was a "Christian") be eligible for parole. He's probably got the 21 million that wasn't recovered stashed overseas. If paroled he will make a dash for this money.

      Usually they make them serve at least 10 or 20 but if you noticed they said in that safe you could see imprints of gold or silver bars. Plus he didnt buy mansions and sports cars or anything crazy and 21mil is still missing. Usually they follow these dudes for a year or so after repease and since everyone involved is elderly they probably have to do it a little faster than usual. Cause you know as soon as hes released hes running straight to those gold bars..... And then they will arest him for those peoples money cause its almoat the end of alot of their lives he ripped off elderly. Stole their whole lifes savings thats so not right.

    I remember when I was younger, around 18 years old, visiting a friend at his parents house. It was a very nice area his parents had moved to before he was born, one of the 3 most expensive cities to buy a home in Canada. I had noticed he had a neighbor not much older than us that had a pretty nice house to himself and drove a very expensive model Mercedes convertible. I asked my friend what was the deal with this guy? It turned out his father was a Preacher in the USA and both the 7 figure home and 6 figure car were bought by his father who lived in California where he also had a home and made his money at church. I remember thinking at the time, that doesn't seem very "Christ" like!
