IRAS pay attention. This one really money no enough?

 
 

 
 
This is the book (Vol 1 & Vol 2) that contained the plagiarised articles from different writers e.g. Buzzell and Boa, Rick Warren, Prince, etc. Furthermore, the book has been translated into Malay and Mandarin as well. Isn't that a lot of money from the sales proceeds? Let's say congregation size minus visitors is 25K pax. That means 25000 x 2 books x $14 equals how much? Easily $700K. And I am sure the cool moneyed crowd will buy more than 2 to "encourage" him and give to their friends. Even if half the 25k people buy 1 set, that is easily $350K. On top of that, it is translated into Malay & Chinese as well, obviously for CHCKL to sell because this Attributes Malaysian website. It can be sold in Indonesia as well. Then the Mandarin copy can be sold in Taiwan as well. Wahhh THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY for copying other people's articles.
 
What did he do with the money?. I haven't heard of any offer to return the money because of the plagiarised articles. If you get your money from questionable means, wouldn't you offer to pay it back if you are found out? The courts make tax evaders pay a penalty to ensure they do not profit. But how is it that plagiarism can make a profit? 
 
On top of that, I have not heard this Senior Pastor tell publicly to his followers that they don't need to raise funds for him. Can he dare claim he has got no money to pay for himself? Why is he keeping silent instead of saying "yes I can pay" or "no, I cannot pay"? On top of that, he dare say that his father-in-law is the cause why he is free.
