***As for the questions you ask Craig; I?m not up on details; but I do know the kids didn't go without food or housing - because while all that was going on, my son was there. The boys weren't affected in any noticeable way. The food was plentiful; and good, I?m told, tho sometimes a bit spicy. My son came home knowing how to cook a good meal,and with a taste for hot sauce. He even puts it on his popcorn now. He likes to go to the grocery now, b/c he wants to buy the food he ate and learned how to fix in MX.***
That sounds to me like Aparicio upheld his end of the VERBAL agreement, which was as Craig stated, "to provide room, board, and food services for the students of ALA."
and
"The payments (52K) were made in good faith with the expectation that ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? would deliever on their promises to provide room and board, along with food services to the students of ALA. ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? failed miserably to perform their verbal agreement to deliver stated promises.
According to you the teens had shelter and more than adequate food AND apparently learned some valuable life skills while there.
Which one of you is confused about what was or was not provided to ALA students.
And a question that has really been bugging me, like a knat that won't go away....
If Aparicio had no formal contract with Rogers and basically provided 'services for a fee'- how would he have access to ALA coffers to embezel funds?
Craig said, "It was also discovered that Josue Aparicio was embezzling funds from Abundant Life Academy of Utah, which was the reason ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? failed to deliever and perform their verbal agreement to provide room, board, and food services. Basically, we believe that he was taking the money meant for the students of Abundant Life Academy and giving it to Patricia Bettencort."
Does Craig have a hard-on for Bettencort or something? What was the agreement between Aparicio and Bettencort? What business is it of Craig's if Aparicio gave all the 'profit' to her?
He apparently was not giving money meant for the students to Bettencort, if what you claim is true. Roger's explanation is incoherent and reeks of dishonesty... in my opinion of course.
