#1 Cash is one thing. Most checks are no good after 90 days.

M. Murcek,

Oh, I have no doubt that those checks got deposited somewhere.

Pastor Osteen has a great deal to answer for. I am hoping this is only the beginning.

#10 Joel Osteen didn't need the money--you guys are looking at this from the wrong angle. $600,000 is nothing to him, particularly when $400,000 of that was in checks (which him cashing would be traced).

This was an "inside job"--an employee of the church swiped the funds and hid them inside the church itself. That employee undoubtedly planned to return after the incident had been entirely forgotten. He obviously had the patience of Job.

#13 I'd rather do business with a mobster
Also a mobster - just a different tribe/faith
