When Ravi Zacharias filed a RICO lawsuit against
@LoriAnneThomps2
whom he sexually abused, Ravi said he had a “donor with deep pockets who’ll fund it as long as it takes to silence the Thompsons.”
That donor was Bill Hwang, who was just arrested by DOJ for fraud and racketeering.
Archegos Capital Management’s founder and chief financial officer have been indicted on charges of securities fraud, wire fraud and racketeering, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Wednesday

Ravi Zacharias's now infamous denial-non-apology on 12-3-2017 (a statement he neither wrote nor believed) read,"I failed to exercise wise caution and to protect myself from even the appearance of impropriety, and for that I am profoundly sorry..."
