Federal agents descended on the North Texas headquarters of television evangelist Benny Hinn and took boxes out of the offices.
The search began about 9 a.m. Wednesday at Hinns headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Grapevine, near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. According to Hinns website, he was in Paris.
Lisa Slimak, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorneys office in Dallas, said she was unable to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. A message sent to Bennie Hinn Ministries went unanswered.
Hinn was one of six television evangelists investigated by the Senate Finance Committee in 2007. Three years later, the six were cleared of any wrongdoing.

(111,255 posts)He extorts crumpled dollar bills from frightened people who don't have enough to eat by telling them they can bribe their way out of hell. This has got to be the worst scam of all of them, it's basically the same scam the RCC was running that caused the uproar of the Protestant Reformation.
I hope Hinn goes down for this and I sincerely hope he's only the first of many. Unfortunately, I don't hold out much hope because god.
