Paying for the Independent Investigation with donor funds

Donors need to consider if they want their ministry donations to go towards paying for lawyers, legal fees, or coverups.

Of the 10's of thousands of dollars for the independent investigation and lawyer fees, VBM missionaries used thousands of dollars from their church and individual donors. We are unaware of how/if these expenses were written off for tax purposes.

It is unfortunate that so much money was used to pay for a sham "external independent investigation" which was clearly tampered with and controlled by VBM as can be seen by these uncovered Marco Polo videos between Jeff Bush and the executive directors.

At least Travis Snode and Mark Coffey were involved in internally communicating with the VBM missionaries about the investigation and lawyer fees as well as the opportunities for missionaries to give toward assisting with the payments.
