Lurid Complaint Against Christian TV Network



SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - A man claims the world's largest Christian TV network wrongfully sued him over inexistent contracts, to retaliate after his nephew's wife "uncovered and reported illegal distributions and other unlawful self-dealing by Trinity Broadcasting's directors exceeding $50 million."
...

McVeigh says he was named as a co-defendant in a complaint against his relatives, "with callous disregard for the lack of any merit in the claims being asserted against plaintiff."
In his 20-page complaint, McVeigh says he borrowed $65,000 from Christian Broadcasting in 2010, and agreed to make monthly payments on a promissory note for 13 years. He says the loan was approved by his nephew, Michael Koper, and his wife, Brittany Koper, former Trinity Broadcasting officers.

McVeigh claims that though he was current on his payments to "Heroes Under God," one of Trinity Broadcasting's alter egos, the company and its affiliates and its attorneys sued him on meritless claims, as part of a campaign of retaliation against the Kopers.

"The defendants knowingly and purposefully sued plaintiff on nonexistent contracts pursuant to a malicious campaign of retaliation and intimidation aimed primarily at Trinity Broadcasting Network's former Chief Financial Officer, Director of Finance, Corporate Treasurer, and Director of Human Resources, Brittany Koper," the complaint states. "Plaintiff is informed, believes, and based thereon alleges that, in retaliation for objecting to, reporting, and refusing to participate in Trinity Broadcasting's unlawful activities, Ms. Koper was fired, threatened with physical and lethal violence by Trinity Broadcasting Directors, and betrayed by her own attorneys (Davert & Loe) who filed a malicious lawsuit against Ms. Koper while representing her as counsel of record in related legal proceedings.
