Farrukh Ahmed, 47, of Ontario, California, was arraigned yesterday on charges he embezzled as much as $960,000 from the Calvary Chapel Chino Hills where he had served as church administrator. Ahmed's cash thefts from the church reportedly span a four year period since the time he was hired as administrator. Details are scant at this time, but it appears Ahmed simply took cash from tithe envelopes meant for the church, according to reports. Ahmed was originally arrested December 23, 2009 by Chino police after he was caught by a parishioner stealing cash. The ensuing investigation reveals that Ahmed is believed to have stolen between $720,000 and $960,000.

That is so crazy! I knew him and his family. I no longer attend that church because I relocated. My dad just told me about this, and I am in shock!
This man has stolen my house and is still embezzling money but now he is doing it with properties that he is stalling from the church members at Calvery Chappel Chino Hills. He is stealing their Identities and then he is filing fraudulent Deed fo Trust in the county of San Bernardino. The DA of San Bernardino is doing nothing about it why is still in this county when he is not even a American Citizen because he is paying of officials that is why WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
