C3 Asheville Scandal – C3 Pastor “Pleads Guilty In Bank Fraud Case” (Part 2)

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Jesus said,

“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy…” Luke 12:1

Jesus often labeled the Pharisees of his days as false teachers and false prophets. He also called them hypocrites. In the greek, a hypocrite was someone who was an actor. What we’ve seen in the C3 Asheville scandal is show after show, starring the US C3 Leadership.

From what we know, Nick Dimitris is still the current Pastor at C3 Asheville. A few months ago, Nick Dimitris retweeted ‘C3 Church Asheville’:

“Everywoman event at C3 Church Asheville 7pm tonight w/ special guest, Jill Sweetman – 40 Haywood Street, downtown.pic.twitter.com/V4fsdpTC“

(Source: Retweeted by Nick Dimitris, https://twitter.com/nickdimitris, 10/11/2012. Accessed 28/01/2013.)

If Nick Dimitris is still the Pastor of C3 Asheville one has to ask the question: Why is Jill Sweetman allowing Dimitris to remain a C3 Pastor and speaking at his Everywoman Conference?

From what we’re seeing, the Sweetman’s have no problem allowing C3 Pastor Nick Dimitris pull the wool over his congregations eyes after the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp) accused him of bank fraud. In fact, they further endorse him by speaking at his conferences.

Furthermore, Dimitris tweeted the following last year in early January:

“Day 3 of the 7 Days of Praise is tonight at 7pm! We are praying over people for provision, resource & blessing. Bring everyone u can!!”

(Source: Nick Dimitris, https://twitter.com/nickdimitris/status/154281827463471104, 04/01/2012. Accessed 28/01/2013.)

“Many special guests tonight at the 7 Days of Praise [7pm] >> Financial miracles, anointing for increase… Get ready for more then enough!”

(Source: Nick Dimitris, https://twitter.com/nickdimitris/status/154337207371579392, 04/01/2012. Accessed 28/01/2013.)

“”7 Days of Praise” – Praying over people for unity, reconciliation & restoration in relationships. God can restore everything! 7pm”

(Source: Nick Dimitris, https://twitter.com/nickdimitris/status/155039353440174080, 06/01/2012. Accessed 28/01/2013.)

In the tweets, Dimitris is expecting that “financial miracles”, “anointing for increase”,  “unity, reconciliation & restoration in relationships” happen and “provision, resource & blessing” occur in his 7 Days of Praise event. Yet what has Dimitris done to fix the people he financially exploited in his congregation? What has he done to fix the division, bitterness and hurt he caused in his skulduggery? Why didn’t the Sweetman’s step in and prevent this smokescreen praise event from occuring? Why are the Sweetman’s speaking at Dimitris’ conferences and not dealing with their C3 Asheville Pastor for committing bank fraud?

NICK DIMITRIS ON RECORD

What makes this behaviour disturbing by Dimitris and the Sweetman’s was that the FDIC  accused C3 Church Pastor Dimitris of bank fraud less then a month ago when the 7 Day of Praise event was put on. The below public record (stamped 05/12/2011), shows Dimitris pleading guilty under oath to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

Public Record: Dimitris Pleads Guilty

Key points from this document indicate that Nicholas Dimitris:

      1. “Did willfully embezzle, abstract, purloin and willfully misapply any of the moneys, funds, or credits of Pisgah Community Bank, in that you did procure and obtain as a straw borrower a series of straw borrower loans and that you recruited other persons to obtain straw borrower loans”.
      2. “… willfully became a member of that conspiracy”.
      3. Acted “… knowingly, intentionally, unlawfully and willfully.”

Nick Dimitris responded to the following questions.

“Are you in fact guilty of the count in the bill of information to which you have come to court today to plead guilty? That is, did you commit the act(s) described in count one of the bill of information?

YES”

“Is your plea of guilty voluntary and not the result of coercion, threats or promises other that those contained in the written plea agreement?

YES”

Sentencing has not happened in this case yet.

NICK DIMITRIS’ QUALIFICATIONS

Dimitris offers some revealing information about his “education”.

It is stated,

“… Then did a ‘correspondence'(?) out of Beacon University in Columbus Georgia. The defendant says he has enough credits for a Bachelor Degree in Theology.”

Does Beacon University sound familiar? Oddly enough, our previous investigation into Dale Bronner revealed that the US courts exposed Beacon University (Christian Life ) to be a diploma mill and agreed in court to “refund tuition” and no longer award degrees. This would explain why Dimitris said he has enough credits for a Bachelor Degree in Theology.

RealMen With False Doctorates (Who Is Dale Bronner?)

This is a really sad thing to see in the C3 Churches of America. Please pray that the situation over in Asheville is resolved. C3 Church Watch will keep you posted as to whether the United States of America sentences this C3 pastor to prison or not.

C3 Oxford Falls Papania Scandal? (Part 1)

06 Friday Apr 2012

Any pastor or church can invite a fraud into their meetings by accident. However, when a church insists on inviting a fraud in spite of advanced warning – what should one conclude about that church?

From: http://www.tompapania.info/ (Accessed 09/06/2011)

We will now pay, not US$20k, but US$50,000 to the first person who can produce authentic certified USA government documents, that validate Tom Papania’s “From Mafia to Minister” Gambino mafia claims about himself. This prizemoney has still not been claimed! (To claim this prize, please email: mafiaprizemoney@optusnet.com.au)
Thomas Anthony Papania is a fraud! Tom Papania was NEVER a Gambino mafia boss! Tom Papania was NEVER even a member of the Gambino mafia family of New York!
Tom sells his “From Mafia to Minister” testimony tapes, CDs, DVDs, and collects a percentage of the offerings taken at the church services where he is guest speaker! Tom Papania is, therefore, obtaining financial advantage via deception – fraud!

  • View Tom’s Atlanta District Court transcripts (2-Apr-1987), “I was never a Mafia member!”
  • View Tom’s Atlanta District Court transcripts (3-Apr-1987), “I don’t want any part of joining Gambino mafia!”
  • Gangland News USA editor, Jerry Capeci, replies and says,”Tom Papania is a fraud!”
  • Focus on the Family USA, replies and says,”We have doubts about Tom’s testimony!”
  • Prisons Ministry USA, replies and says,”We have cut off all contact with Tom!”
  • Federal Bureau of Prisons, USA – Tom awaiting Atlanta jury verdict, & subsequent acquittal.
  • Gwinnett Court, Georgia, 1985: Tom Papanier’s name change documents, Tom Papanier becomes Tom Papania!
  • Sedgwick Court, Kansas, 1965: Tom Papanier the caryard burglar, and TV shop burglar – not mafia hitman!
  • Kansas Bureau of Investigation: Tom Papanier’s arrest and prison record, Kansas.

All of the USA government documents presented above are certified copies, obtained DIRECTLY from the variously listed USA government departments. The documents have been presented exactly as received. The contact details of those various USA courts and USA law enforcement agencies are also provided, so you are encouraged to make your own enquiries, should you wish to verify this information.
If you are unfamilar with the claims Tom Papania makes about himself, in his compelling “true” story, here is a brief summary… * Age 15, Tom claims he found a rusty gun, which he supposedly used to rob a nearby Mafia storefront. * Tom claims he and his friends repeated this robbery – 4 times – stealing wallets AND pants, so they wouldn’t be chased!! * By age 17, Tom claims that he had earned a trusted position within the Gambino Mafia family. * At age 19 (1963), Tom supposedly received his first contract, and was asked to shoot (but not kill) two men. * Tom claims he was arrested by the police immediately afterwards – the Gambinos had set him up, to see if Tom would “talk!” * Tom claims he kept his vow of silence, and was sentenced to 2 x 5-10 year prison terms, of which he served 5 1/2 years. * After Tom’s release from prison, Carlo Gambino allegedly sent for Tom, offering him 2 nightclubs as a reward. * By age early 30’s, Tom claims he was controlling over 40 different restaurants and businesses. * Paul Castellano took over from Carlo Gambino, with Tom claiming to work directly for Paul Castellano, from now on. * Tom arrested again, and spent another 2 years in prison. * Before release, Tom claims the prison Chaplain said Tom was “different” and should consider becoming a priest. * After prison, Tom claims he went back to the Gambino businesses, and was earning $millions per year. * At age 39 (1983), Tom supposedly opened 10 restaurants in 11 months in Atlanta, Georgia, and he was extremely wealthy. * Tom claims that in 1984, God gave him an offer too good to refuse! * In 1984, Tom claims he became a “christian” and left the Gambino mafia family.

Why does the name Tom Papania NEVER feature in ANY of the publications on the history of the Gambino mafia family of New York, USA?

These Australian churches were warned repeatedly beforehand, yet they still allowed him to speak. They were either invited repeatedly to view the evidence, or were given access to all of the evidence:

Christian City Church, Oxford Falls, NSW, February 2004

Garden City Church, Mt Gravatt, QLD, September 2004

Southside Church, Adelaide, SA, August 2005

Crossway Baptist Church, Burwood, VIC, August 2005

One CCC Oxford Falls pastor replied as follows (Monday 1st March 2004, 9:57am):

“I don’t know who you are and therefore you have no credibility in my eyes. Right or wrong about Tom Papania is irrelevant because you have no authority! You delude yourself thinking God has appointed you, but you are a self appointed crusader, unsubmitted and rebellious. You need help.”

This very same CCC Oxford Falls pastor requested a meeting, which we agreed to, however, he then cancelled his very own meeting, before it was held, and refused to communicate any further. A number of CCC pastors (including the Senior Pastor) received personal invitations to view the USA government documentation (at a time and date of their choice) that proved Papania was a fraud, but none of these pastors ever replied. Was not one pastor at CCC Oxford Falls, able to discern that Tom Papania was a FAKE, despite being warned repeatedly beforehand?

Does CCC Oxford Falls leadership have spiritual discernment?

Does CCC Oxford Falls leadership value money more than truth?

Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of our hearts!

Ex-policeman Robert E Taylor Jr, claims to have information that validates Tommy’s story. He has been asked many, many, many times to produce this evidence, but nothing appears! Not one single page of official government documentation has been produced! This is a typical email reply, from Robert E Taylor (info@taylorgroup.net):

Robert Taylor denies reality!

Don’t you think it’s time to repent, Tommy? Good Friday was for you too!
