...Or the news about Cinci funding the Astana house was never announced. It was reported from within UBF by a high level source (don't ask) that Cinci sent money specifically "earmarked" for a house purchase in Astana in 2002. The amount of money was not specified.
Do you know about how much was collected for the stated purpose of N. Korea relief in Cinci? Or did they not announce that either?
Also, the given excuse by Sam Zun, that the money "simply could not be delivered", does not ring true at all. There were and are several relief organizations, Christian ones, that do work in N. Korea that the money could have been "delivered" to.
