Where Neither Moth Nor Rust Destroys

Current events in Gaza constitute a timely reminder of the hijinks that can ensue when the Deity deals in real estate; but it seems this is by no means the limit of Honest Jehovah's commercial competence. A couple of religious hustlers in Colorado, evidently unable to get by on the federal tax breaks habitually awarded to spiritual fraudsters, took their dupes for $1.3 million in a cryptocurrency scam and are now testifying that they acted on God's advice. Nor was the Lord sparing in His recommendations of how to dispose of the profits: the wages of virtue included a divinely sanctioned domestic refurbishment, doubtless heavily biased towards humility, and a substantial share for the upkeep of their online-only Victorious Grace church, whose entire lack of physical existence may have moved God to a certain fellow-feeling. The couple, aptly surnamed Regalado (Spanish for given as a present), are now relying on their heavenly fiscal adviser to "work a miracle in the financial sector."
