INSTEAD OF BASHING A PENTECOSTAL BROTHER YOU NEED TO BE ON YOUR KNEES IN PRAYER FOR HIM, HIS FAMILY, AND HIS CHURCH. This is a work of the devil, keeping a life long Saint of God, from helping the Kingdom of GOD. He has given, selflessly to the Church and the work of God, world wide.

Jason,
The news stories quite clearly say it was more than just drug dealers happening to buy cars from him. The accusation is that the transactions were made using names other than the actual names of the buyers to avoid the reporting law for cash transactions over $10,000. This did not happen just once or twice. Over $2.9 million dollars changed hands this way.
The person I know who is a friend of your uncle is praying that somehow he was oblivious to what was going on and that it was the two employees that were also arrested who are guilty. It does seem a stretch though to think the owner would not realize three million dollars in sales over a few years were shady.
I do hope that your uncle is indeed innocent and you are correct that we need to be praying for him and the situation. If he is guilty I hope the full weight of the law is brought to bear on him but if he is innocent I pray the truth will come out and he will be exonerated.
In the meantime the facts are that he has been arrested and charged as indicated in my initial post. That information is taken from published news stories.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
