"But there's an even darker side to Hinn and his organization. In 1998, two
members of his inner circle died of heroin overdoses. In 1999, after one of
his many vows of reform, he fired several board members and hired an ex-cop
named Mario C. Licciardello to do an internal investigation of his ministry.
Licciardello was the brother of Carman, who is sort of the Engelbert
Humperdinck of Christian singers, so many think Hinn considered him "safe."
But Licciardello did such a good job - taking hundreds of depositions and
getting to the bottom of the heroin use - that Hinn then sued him. While
Licciardello was still his head of security, the ministry filed a lawsuit
demanding that all his files be turned over and sealed, because their public
release could result in the end of the ministry. Licciardello was a police
investigator with 25 years of experience, and he felt like his whole career
was being smeared, so he fought back with his own lawyers. His counsel
continually tried to take Hinn's deposition, but Hinn fought him at every
step. The judge, however, ruled against him and said that, if Hinn intended
to enjoin Licciardello, he would have to make himself available for
questioning.
On the very day that Hinn was supposed to give his deposition in the case,
Licciardello had a heart attack and died. The Hinn organization made an
out-of-court settlement with Licciardello's widow, which included sealing the
court papers."
