Feds file claims on 27 properties of imprisoned evangelist Tony Alamo

[TexasTowelie]

Perverted preacher Tony Alamo wouldn’t need the property anyway.

The U.S. government filed paperwork in U.S. District Court recently to seize a number of properties that Alamo used to rape girls. The government wants the compound in Fouke, including a house and gym, where he used to run Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. The feds also want two houses in Fort Smith and one in Texarkana.

In 2009, Alamo was convicted of 10 counts of taking underage girls across the state lines for sex. Alamo, whose real name is Bernie Lazar Hoffman, was sentenced to 175 years in federal prison.

The 78-year-old is currently serving his time in an Oklahoma City federal prison.

Federal prosecutors announced Monday the government is seeking to seize 27 properties associated with imprisoned evangelist Tony Alamo.

The properties in Texarkana, Ark., Fouke, Ark., and Fort Smith, Ark., include church buildings, residences, businesses and more.

Alamo was found guilty in July 2009 of bringing women he wed as children across state lines for sex. Later that year a federal judge sentenced him to serve 175 years in federal prison.

In January 2010, he was ordered to pay each of the five victims $500,000 in restitution. To date, Alamo has paid nothing.

1. Alamo used to work the Sunset Strip during the 60's.

He'd get young runaways (mostly girls as I remember) to beg for money for his "ministry".

2. Then he moved to TX and changed his name to Alamo.

So I suspect.

I also suspect that people who he abused and/or bilked will appropriately never forget Alamo.

4. I did not know about that.

I looked on Wikipedia and saw this:

Susan was later diagnosed with cancer and died on April 8, 1982. Alamo stated she would be resurrected and for six months he had her body on display "while their followers prayed". After 16 years, her body was given to her family.
