"They issue their own treasury bills, and they use 'em like money. That's not fraud?"
As an "ecclesiastical sovereignty" they have the right to do that. The Vatican does that too. You can be sure if the US government believed that DOM had been invovled in any of the scams they would have named DOM too.
"That's not fraud? And what about that little documents scam in the Phillipines? That's not fraud?"

For things unrelated to DOM that happened almost a quarater of a century ago. The former US Marshal, Arthur Van Court was quoted by the Sacramento Bee in 1990-1 as saying that the Pedley case "was politically motivated." Mandella was the president of South Africa, but did his criminal convictions make South Africa a criminal organization?
