With Money Come Problems
Marie and Pastor Matthews came to an agreement that she would give the church donation of $1.5 million over two installments. She quickly gave the $700,000 and was getting ready to give the rest when she was blindsided. Pastor Matthews felt her donation wasn’t significant enough – and let her know by suing her for $10 million.
A Verbal Contract
Pastor Matthews took to the press and claimed that Marie did not want to give the second installment of the donation, going back on her word. Remember, they had made a verbal contract and not a written one. He therefore sued her on the grounds of claiming that he had made financial commitments while anticipating the money that he could not keep anymore.
