So true. The abject lies that the man, (actually, most of his family), tells, the funding of so many personal gains, the distortion of the bible to suit his own agenda - yes, the man truly does deserve what he's gotten.
Talk about karma!

But he is not in prison for distorting the bible, (even though statements like yours prove that people wish he was in jail/mental institution for his scientific and religious views because they disagree with what he says, so he must be either mentally ill or a fraudster/criminal)
He is in prison because the IRS received an anon call from someone about him paying his workers in cash. (Of course there is more to it than that but thats the basic premise, -for those that have no idea who we are discussing-) Does someone really deserve 10 years in prison for paying their workers in cash? Maybe all the workers should be in prison for receiving the cash as payment? I'm pretty sure they weren't declaring their earnings to the IRS. He is also accused of structuring, which is withdrawing amounts under $10,000 to supposedly avoid IRS scrutiny. I mean how dare someone not tell the IRS where they spend absolutely every cent of their own money. People that do that are worse than rapists (how he actually has been described by one mainstream news outlet) The most recent accusation against him of Mail fraud could not be proven in court.
If he is such a liar, and biblical distortionist he deserves defamation but not 10 years (possibly more) in prison...
Sorry Joanie for hijacking your thread.
