Angel Food Ministries' pay practices under scrutiny

[Smart A--]

The Wingos settled to because they knew they would loose. If they were doing nothing wrong why give up anything.

Two board members claimed in a lawsuit filed Feb. 25 that AFM founders Wesley "Joe" and Linda Wingo and their sons, Andy and Jonathan Wesley, used the nonprofit to enrich themselves by millions and asked a Georgia judge to protect the ministry's assets.

The parties announced a settlement March 6 but are still working out the details.

Lawyers have said Joe Wingo will sign over to Angel Food a company he owns that was renting a corporate jet to the nonprofit at $10,000 a month profit. Also, the Wingos' company credit cards will be canceled, and the nonprofit will undergo a forensic financial audit. The board members who filed suit said they would step down.

This is very sad for such a wonderful program. I hope it doesn't fold.

I agree...it has helped many families during these hard times, including my own.

[too bad]

AFM paid out almost 500,000.00 in a law suit and also had to give up charging 10,000.00 per month wingo's charged AFM to use his own jet. Maybe thats why they are laying people off.
