Review for Inner Path Center Inc, Knoxville, TN, USA
In 2011, the Founder and Director of the Ruach Center, shown and described on its website (http://www.ruachcenter.org), asked for donations earmarked to build a rooftop garden for the similar non-profit he co-directed at the time, The Order of Christ/Sophia (widely seen as a cult). THOUSANDS of dollars were given to him for this.
After it was built, he got caught by the city for doing so without a permit.
It took additional money to tear down the rooftop structure and legally buy permits.
He never re-built the rooftop structure, although he resided in the structure daily, and instead he said he would sell building materials to recoup costs.
He kept all monies, NEVER returning funds to donors who had earmarked donations specifically for that structure to be built. It was blatantly dishonest, fraudulent and careless, utterly disregarding and disrespecting donor trust and hard-earned dollars.
