Or at least one investor thought so, after praying and being inspired to invest some of her savings with Southwick's cohort (an LDS bishop) (link to story below). Inspiration sure is a fickle thing.

God promoted Southwick Ponzi scheme ....
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."
-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)

Sad..
So how much did this crook pay in tithing and will the church give it back or just be part of the scheme ?

God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

I am not sure how much Southwick paid in tithing, but the church apparently gave back about 200k.

Larry King's wife's maiden name is "Southwick". I wonder if there's any family connection...?
