She was named Chief Financial Officer of TBN on July 5, 2011. we do not feel comfortable being Secretary/Treasurer without bringing these issues forward." Her concerns included that expensive houses, vehicles and other assets were used exclusively by Crouch family members but accounted for as ministry expenses.
One month after the memo, on September 30, 2011, Koper"s employment with TBN was terminated.
On February 1, 2011, Koper filed a lawsuit against Davert & Loe, a law firm that had previously represented both Koper and TBN. In this lawsuit, Koper alleged that TBN unlawfully distributed over $50 million to the organization"s directors. Koper also accused Davert & Loe of professional negligence and fiduciary duty for allegedly secretly filing a lawsuit against her while continuing to serve as her legal counsel
In this declaration, Koper alleged that TBN improperly disbursed large sums of money to its directors. TBN denies these allegations, and alleges that Koper has fabricated or altered several of the documents that she relies on in her declaration.
They also state that the Koper"s moved money into accounts illegally in order to purchase a house and benefit Mr.
Koper"s uncle. The Koper"s say those were proper loans and have been repaid. TBN claims the lawsuit by Koper is simply a way to divert attention from their own misdeeds.
