According to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, representatives of nearly 300 "alleged" sexual abuse survivors have filed suits in Anchorage Federal Bankruptcy Court saying that the Fairbanks Diocese made significant efforts to hide assets and divest properties less than a year prior to filing for Chapter 11. Moving to conceal assets prior to declaring bankruptcy is illegal, and the plaintiffs allege that the Diocese did it to limit the money available to victims. The lawyers for the church say that the new suits are "attacks" designed to wipe out the churches of northern Alaska, which they say have been a stabilizing and worthwhile institution in the Bush. Read all about this new suit here. We suppose that the church has had a stabilizing influence for Bush communities, but that's likely small compared to the alleged damage allegedly done to communities that allegedly served as alleged dumping grounds for alleged predator priests.
