It is unfortunate that he centered on Christian work in his vision instead of just business. If he had not shrouded his businesses in non-profit cloaks, any shenanigans might have been caught early on. But everything got wrapped up in “the Lord’s work” and we all forgave his failings. But he did not lose anything on those ventures. His portion of the Daystar enterprise made some motor homes and sold them all to the venture that his followers invested in. And their venture funded and guaranteed Lee’s. He made out alright. Then he found a way to make the entire operation into a not-for-profit.

Was Living Stream Ministry a family business, a non profit corporation, or both for a while?
