I don't know if this was a classic church-goer shakedown Nancy. The story says that the corporation was founded in 1948, and appears not to have operated with defrauding people as a goal. It looks like they got caught up in a real-estate "bubble" and did "an Enron." Which is bad enough to be sure...
