I Wonder If Father Potsie Was Involved

Richard Cunningham has pleaded guilty, along with his son, of embezzling $3.1 million from their church in California. Richard is a 76 year old pastor, but he is not this Richie Cunningham. He and his 52 year old son, also a pastor, pleaded guilty of taking the money and using it to buy time shares in Hawaii and Palm Springs as well as cars and golf club memberships. They were sentenced to two years.

The strangest thing about this is that they have repaid the church all the money in restitution. Where did they get that money? And, if they had that kind of money, why take it from the church in the first place?
