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."

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.

CEF/DIL: Monitor’s 38th Report
