First of all why is a trust fund of a community under government control. It is the communities money and holdings in that fund, not the governments. And it is not the government or any little puppet greedy appointy to decide what to do with the fund.

The way I see this is that the government once agian over steps its limit.

It would be like the government takeing control of all the banks assets because they believe one person in that bank may be doing wrong. But they forget that the fund does not represent 1 person but an entire community who have generation after generation put their money and holdings into that fund. Than out of nowhere the cowboyish "think I know it all government", comes and decides I know whats best for the assets.

The guy I believe they put in control of that fund is stealing from the fund. Stealing money for his own benifet. The money belongs to the community and not to one individual who has a vandetta against the community the fund belongs to.

Didn't Rod Parker already dispense with the myth that "entire buildings were dismantled and whisked away"? Has another lawyer taken over his law suit regarding that? I'd hate to see more lies being used as a pretext to continue the assault on the FLDS religion. The least Wisan can do is respond to the allegations put forth by Parker in his law suit which details quite convincingly the fraud Wisan perpetrated on Lindberg's court, vis-a-vis the alleged stolen trust property.

It sounds to me like there is two ways to look at it - administering the trust in the best interest of the trust or administering the trust in the best interest of the people to which the trust belongs which is the FLDS. As I read previous articles I can see that the FLDS interest in the trust was NOT a monetary interest but a religous interest. But to Wisan and any blood sucking attorney like Wisan's not to mention Wisan himself, the trust only has a monetary value to it. One this is very obvious though and that is the trust grew under FLDS administration and has only diminished under the administration of Lindberg/Wisan/Shields. ANYBODY should be able to see that. The FLDS doesn't want to sell thier land that they bought and paid for, why does it have to be sold? Do the FLDS not get a say at all? Shame on Lindberg, Wisan, and Shields it sounds like organized crime to me!!

Okay, k.ok - someone had to step in and protect the Trust from all the pending lawsuits that were being ignored by the former Trustees. No telling how many default judgments there might have been due to the former Trustee's neglect.

k.ok - a more accurate description of the Trust BEFORE the law stepped in is, the police coming in to a bank full of people with an open vault and no employees there.

k.ok - those are mighty big accusations for someone who doesn't have a better grasp of what's going on in this situation. Are you insinuating that the fiduciary of the Trust is pocketing all the cash flow or depositing it in to personal offshore bank accounts? Hmmm, smells like defamation of character to me.

Perhaps you should go to the UEP Trust site and read the regular updates that the fiduciary has provided the judge.

Joey, you're kidding. Right?

American Citizen, whose name is on the YFZ's deed? Whose name is on the Colorado properties?

You're on the right track, though. "Follow the money," except it should be the FLDS Trust money that the previous Trustees have access to...

The trust was set up to benefit the church members. The trust was set up to be managed by church members.
Wisan is not a church member. Several of the board members are not members of the church.
What is wrong with this picture?

How many church trusts are managed by ex-church members with the sole intent to dismantle the trust?

what's wrong with this picture is that they had all kinds of chances to provide input and didn't. Now they waited too long.

if you get a letter from the court saying your house will be foreclosed on if you don't pay your mortgage, the prudent thing to do is take care of business. If you don't, and you get evicted and lose your house, can you really blame the court?

I guess so, according to some here. Looks more like a responsibility issue - or lack thereof.

Anonymous- Where do you get your information? For your own and anyones information that would like to know. I happened to be an empoyee at that bank you referred to, and myself and ALL the other employees were there at the time when the police decided to step in! Don't say things that you don't really know!
