CEF/DIL: Refuting the Unofficial Party Line

When the whole ABC District debacle debuted in Jan 2105, depositors that'd trusted the Lutheran Church with their funds were treated rather shabbily - good information wasn't forthcoming, District officials misrepresented what had actually happened, District struck a Task Force to investigate what happened and when the task force issued its first report, disbanded the...

General Update – Feb 9, 2022

On Jan 5, 2015 DP Schiemann misled the public by declaring a “sufficient cash flow shortage” as opposed to "we took your money, put it in some speculative real estate / business ventures, told everyone their money was safe, and then we ran out of depositor funds." Today my webpage monitoring software "bing"ed to let...

CEF/DIL Updates – Oct 27, 2021 Corrections

Ok, I must've been asleep at the wheel to make the mistakes I made on the original post, so here's a mea-culpa post. Correction #1: As it turns out, there are two "Ruf"s involved in the CEF/DIL mess and I got them confused. Harry Ruf was ABC District President when the life lease village was...

CEF/DIL Updates – Oct 27, 2021

Hi Gang - Yes, I've been gone for a bit. Repeatedly pointing out LCC's ongoing and unrepentant bad behavior has gotten rather tedious so I've been working on other things. However - when news like this comes up, I had to fire up the old editor to get the word out. First - Sage Properties...

CEF/DIL – Will There Yet Be Consequences?

I've written many articles about the lack of action by the various Synodical officials even in the face of an outright conviction by the ASC Securities. Today Rev Clifford wrote a post in the CEF Investors Forum that - at long long last the Synod Board of Directors has done something about the people involved...

A Refresh on CEF, DIL, SVM, and Related Matters

With COVID 19 making a mess of things, the long delay since we'd last heard from Deloitte Restructuring, Sage, and KPMG, along with some accidental comments on past articles pertaining to "where are things" and "I've waited long enough for my money", I thought it'd be a good time for a refresh on where everything...

CEF/DIL: The Wheels of Justice Grind Slowly

It's said that the wheels of justice turn slowly because of how fine they grind. This is a good thing because a just system needs to correctly discern the good from evil so it can protect the good while holding the evil to account. Almost eight months ago in Sept 2019 the ASC settled with...

CEF/DIL: Monitor’s 38th Report – Update

In my prior post "CEF/DIL: Monitor's 38th Report" I surmised that this report pertained to an upcoming court case. I now believe that analysis is inaccurate because if you look at the report, it's dated Nov 26, 2019. My guess is that this report was originally generated and submitted to the Court last fall /...
