The televangelist and author of several books on the topic of seed giving that he says can make people rich, claimed as business expenses his familys 1. BMWs, two Ferraris, a Maserati and a Land Rover. The federal criminal bill of indictment further states that Coontz provided no proof that his Regal 2. U. S. Attorney Jill Rose said when announcing the charges This is a classic example of Do as I say, not as I do. As a minister, Coontz preached about receiving and managing wealth, yet he failed to keep his own finances in order.

His lawyer, Mark Foster of Charlotte, said in a statement that Coontz unequivocally asserts his innocence. Todd Coontz has always endeavored to follow the law and to be a good citizen, father, and minister. He trusted others to manage his finances and taxes for him and was shocked to find out he was under criminal investigation by the IRS, Foster said, outlining his expectation that the jury will find his client not guilty after hearing the evidence. Anthony told CP, however, that hes very thankful that the IRS finally took some action, both on Coontz and on televangelist Benny Hinn.

Anthony added that televangelists such as Hinn and Coontz like to give each other credit, and build their own ego.

Senate Finance Committee on abuses to the tax code and on ecclesiastical fraud that is being committed. Anthony said that while the committee promised that there would be hearings, at the end nothing was done.

It just infuriated me, he said of the committees inaction. The Trinity Foundation also sent CP Anthonys unpublished comments in an interview with WSOC TV Charlotte four years ago when when Coontz asked viewers to send him a 2.
