You can't know that from the news report.
Again, I'm only offering my personal feeling that this man's life and integrity is beyond reproach in my mind and experience. I, too, ask you to pray for this humble and fine man.

You may be called for a deposition regarding character!
I really hope this gentleman is innocent. If the charges are correct it seems hard to believe that he is totally innocent, that at best there is gross negligence involved in not knowing what is going on in your business.
Growing up in conservative old time Pentecost I knew plenty of men who kept every standard under the sun and would not dream of saying a curse word but would cheat on their income taxes and other business dealings. Some people live compartmentalized lives where their Christianity is in one box and their business life in another. Hopefully not the case here.

"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."
