Episode Details

Jeremy Lillig, once hailed as a “Rising Star of Philanthropy” for his work with the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud for allegedly stealing over $155,000 by activating 400+ gift cards using a church credit card between 2018 and 2021. As head of the Bright Futures Fund, he allegedly falsified expense reports to disguise his theft, which was meant to support families and schools. The Diocese responded with a tone of mercy but emphasized that forgiveness doesn’t equate to impunity. Lillig now faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
