Since they plea the 5th, sue them.
They're trying to get the case into a stalemate.
For the former members who actually attended their Bible school, where they used up all benefits never getting an accredited degree, you can sue them.
Call a lawyer, pay the fee, and get a settlement of all the funds used by them, on top of the time now where you could not advance in your career because their fraudulent school held you back.
This can get you a 6 figure settlement.
That's what I would do, but I never went to their Bible school.
If you're credit score is good, you can finance the fee for a lawyer.
The fee should cost around 5k.
You can finance it with monthly payments under $200 for up to 36 months.
Your eBenefits page will show how much tuition was for each semester. Tally it up, and tell a lawyer.
A lawyer should receive about 30% while you get the remaining 70%.
Think about it, a lawyer is gonna want to get a big payout, and since you have a case with evidence, you can win it.
If I had a product or service, and it did not do what I promised it would do, I'm gonna have to give you a refund.
Since you didn't learn anything or got a degree from their Bible school, the CEO is gonna have to give you your money back.
Service ain't free man.
It's the right thing to do.
That's why we have court.
We go to court for these things.
