@truth.thread.qa: Melissa Ganey English, the financial secretary at Amelia Baptist Church in Fernandina Beach, Florida, has been arrested for allegedly embezzling more than $570,000 from the church to support a lavish personal lifestyle. Investigators say that between 2019 and 2024, English—who held the keys to the church’s finances—quietly diverted over half a million dollars in tithes and offerings. Instead of funding church operations, the money allegedly went toward personal credit-card payments, unauthorized payroll bonuses, and an ongoing shopping spree. Approximate yearly totals include: • 2019: $39,916 • 2020: $88,247 • 2021: $102,114 • 2022: $124,922 • 2023: $123,810 • 2024: $91,933​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
