Free advice: before asking for money, lose the Bentley

April 24, 2009

The Charlotte minister indicted for tax evasion is asking for financial help in fighting the charges.

Before donating to this doubtlessly worthy cause, it's worth considering whether the man of the cloth should perhaps tap some other potential sources of cash, as TaxGrrrl reports:

The indictment lists ownership in a BMW 530i, a Mercedes-Benz S550V, five (yes, five) Lexus vehicles, a Bentley GT and a Maybach 57 (worth $250,000). Leases during that same time included a Cadillac, an Acura, a Volkswagen, a Maxima, a Durango, a Neon and a Toyota. No doubt the Neon boasted a “My other car is a Maybach” bumper sticker.
