There has always been money involved in the church. That is why we have a bunch of false prophets going around preaching the prosperity gospel.
Those false prophets are stealing the money that rightfully belong to the real preachers of the Apostolic Gospel.

Interestingly enough, God says in
Jeremiah 23 that it was the false prophets who stole, not by money, but stole His Words from the people. They stole HisWords because they preached on peace, properity, blessing, and their own dreams and visions, rather than preaching repentance.
There's no scripture to back up your assertion that false prophets are stealing money that "rightfully belongs to the real preachers." Preachers have no such entitlement. We are called to be servants, not to be served. We are called to build His kingdom, not our own.
