THIS IS TO ENLIGHTEN OUR READERS ON HOW MONEY IS MOVING OUT OF "INDIA" THE POOR COUNTRY TO "AMERICA" THE RICH COUNTRY
This is to educate our readers on how money is moved out of India to "evangelize" America. LEF has a family owned church in Novi, Michigan that is meant for the exclusive use of the first family. This is the "private" church of the first family. How many members does this church have to justify the kind of money that the first family spent to buy this church? Who attends this church regularly on a Sunday morning? The late president, wife, the son, daughter -in-law, 5 grand children, a Candian Indian family and on a lucky Sunday two more people in addition to this. The second son who lives a block away didn't feel it was worth his time to hear his dad preach and clearly believes it is a big waste time to come and hear is "big brother" preach.
Now knowing that they did not have any contributing members in LEF in USA, where did they get money to buy this "private church?" Also, who supported the present head and his family of half dozen people in his household during his last 3 years of unemployment? Where did the money come from to pay the medical bills to take care of the prolonged sickness of late LEF president? Where did the money come from to buy plane tickets for this circus troupe to travel around the world?
The only logical hypothesis is - Did they ship money out of India? As we know rupee (Indian currency) is not completely repatriabe and there are a number of regulations that Reserve Bank of India has imposed to ensure that Indian money does not leave the shores of India. Please remember the messages of LEF boss - "We have enough money in India to evangelize the whole world. We do not need money form westerners to preach gospel in India. We the people of LEF will send Indian money to save Americans when rupee becomes completely repatriable."
Well, looks like the big boss became desperate and did some high tech fraud to transfer money out of India - Hawala transactions. Here is our attempt to explain what is hawala and how LEF used this method of money transfer to have the poor people of India build a "private church" for first family along with sponsoring the the Daniel family members who are living in the "Dreamland."
"Hawala is a method of transferring money without any actual movement of the money" Transactions between Hawala brokers are done without promissory notes because the system is heavily based on networking.
In India the LEF meetings in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will generate offerings in cash. All LEF people know how much money and sometimes jewelry is dropped into those money bags. That kind of cash in a decent church/ organization (like FMPB) will be deposited in a bank by the treasurer. Depositing money in the bank and allowing money to go through proper channels is what clean organizations do. But in LEF the money will be carried to the Mercedes of the great leader. As a matter of fact Govt. of India has banned any organization from having more than Rs.15,00,000/- in cash. But who in LEF cares about government rules?
Now at the end of one retreat tour like the one that just concluded (starting with Youth retreat and ending with Hyderabad), the LEF head collects say 2 crore rupees(close to UDS $325,000). This money its totally cut out of the official channels of LEF. Now the LEF head cannot carry the money in an airplane. No more than $10,000 can be carried out of India as cash. Moreover no other country will allow spending in rupees. But the first family needs US dollars to meet all their expenses. It is also true that the children of the last president (barring one or two) had long spells of unemployment. A couple of them had very odd and low paying jobs. So, this family that felt entitled that LEF is their family business wanted to have a lion's share of the money ( be it dollars, rupees, or pounds)
At this point there are two options.
1. Deposit the money in a bank and officially transfer, but the government will want 30-40% as tax and Reserve Bank of India will ask a lot of uncomfortable questions.
Also, the LEF boss always preached proudly - "I don't touch one paise." So, they cannot leave paper trail to prove that he did not touch a paise but swindled away crores.
2. Take the help of IC and people of his kind to move the money out through Hawala.
So, in come people like IC bringing glad tidings “Uncle give me the money and I will do all that is needed.”
So, what does this fraud team do with 2 crores (USD $325,000) in cash?
Step 1: IC will contact Davidson annachi (big brother), who will have business interests both in England and India.
2. IC will give Davidson the Rs.1,80,00,000 ($270, 000). (about 20 lakhs will be IC's cut at 10%)
3. Now Davidson will phone/ ask/ inform his son Johnson to deposit in the LEF London Charitable Trust account an amount equal to Rs.1,50,00,000 ( $240,000) but in UK pounds may be not as one lump but in small increments over a period of time.
(Davidson and his son will get a total cut of another 30 laks at 15% commission rate as their fees for letting LEF use them to channel money out of India)
So, a whooping 50 laks (USD 80,000) is gone out of LEF money as commissions to convert the black money into white money.
4. This money that is transferred to London LEF bank account will be shown to UK charitable commission as free will offering, anonymously made (which is a clear lie) or collection from the sale of goods in "Beautiful Book Shop."
This method is not cheap as 50 laks ( 25% of the 2 crores) is lost in this transfer.
For non-Indians who are reading this - about USD 80,000 is paid up as commissions and fee for this fraudulent activity to take place. So, in reality out of the $325,000 that late head siphoned out of India, only $245,000 comes in to UK LEF accounts in a form that is ready to be used by the first family.
At the end of this successful activity, LEF head and his huge family, Davidson, Johnson and IC are all happy - LEF got its money in a British bank in UK pounds; Davidson is happy as he got money in Indian rupees at a far cheaper, faster and easier way than a bank loan; IC is handsomely compensated for his hard labour.
4. Now the money has entered normal safe banking channels and so LEF London Charitable Trust will move the money to USA as a inter corporate fund movement, which is perfectly legal.
5. LEF president is the boss of all 3 (LEF India, LEF London Charitable Trust, and LEF USA) he will draw the money in USA and spend it on maybe a BMW / purchasing a church, buying a holiday home, paying bills for his unemployed son's large family, paying the college for the grand kids etc...
So, poor Indians have supported a rich church and a royal family. This method is also called as flight of capital and is totally illegal.
This has been going on from 1994 in LEF. UK charity will make the accounts of all charitable organizations public if the annual income is more than 25,000 pounds. LEF shows ten times this amount. oldest daughter of the founding father agreed to let go off her grip over LEF, there are indications that she walked away with a handsome gift (possibly million dollars). This money as we traced it seems to have ended up in Germany to support another Daniel family member.
So the answer to all questions of money in LEF -
"Is LEF built by faith?"
Yes, LEF ministry is built by faith.
But the next question is important-
We suspect similar Hawala was used in other centers (where the family members live, and also in other countries especially Guyana). When the
"Faith in whom?"
Faith in IC, Davidson and Richardson
Late LEF head sat and crunched numbers day in day out and his son stands up in front of his dad's dead body and says - "My dad never talked to me about money."
What lies? They lie so boldly because they think that all of this is done without a record or a paper trail and that there are no smart people in LEF who can expose them. Also, the LEF leadership has indoctrinated people in LEF that asking LEF leaders for accountability is as good as asking God for accountability. So, this family thought it has its bases covered and can get away with murders. The first family thinks that since there are no records of this fraud and nobody dares to question them, they can one day run away with all the cash in LEF.
My dear friends, open your eyes and see what is happening around you... Information is power. Ask your local pastors how the money you are sending is being used for God's work...Ask difficult questions and let them not escape by giving answers like "Judge not, lest ye be judged."
