Mid Hudson News: Rev. Moon's Unification Seminary sells for $14 million
"The Unification Theological Seminary Barrytown campus has reportedly been sold to Bard College for $14 million.

Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Hudson Valley Properties announced the sale on its website.

The 260-acre property at 30 Seminary Drive in Red Hook was the home of Unification Theological Seminary's Barryville campus founded by the late Korean-born Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who died at age 92 in 2012.

The real estate agency describes the property as comprised of a main seminary building of 118,000 square feet, Massena House at 12,799 SD, Sunnyside Cottage at 3,100 SF, Harvest House at 5,600 SF, Apple Cottage at 1,200 SF, gatehouse at 2,900 SF, and four additional barn and garage structures totally over 8,300 SF.

The property is situated within two zoning districts: Water Conservation and Institutional.

The Institutional District is intended to accommodate the comprehensively planned, land-extensive, campus-type environments of educational, health-related, and other not-for-profit institutional facilities and compatible residential, agricultural, conservation and open space use. Permitted uses include single-family residences (five-acre lots) and agriculture. Other uses, including institutional, are allowed by special permit.

Moon was a controversial religious leader who said that, when he was 16 years old, Jesus appeared to him, anointing him to carry out his unfinished work by becoming a parent to all of humanity."

New York Times: Pastor Charged With Cryptocurrency Fraud Said God Told Him to Do It
"A pastor in Denver who said that God told him to sell cryptocurrency that could not be cashed is facing civil charges, along with his wife, for marketing a digital coin that prosecutors said was "practically worthless" and using the proceeds to support a "lavish lifestyle."

The pastor, Eligio Regalado, and his wife, Kaitlyn Regalado, were charged on Thursday in a civil complaint filed in Denver District Court by the Colorado Attorney General's Office, the Colorado Division of Securities said in a statement. The agency said that the couple created, marketed and sold a cryptocurrency that they called INDXcoin through a cryptocurrency exchange, which they also ran.

Prosecutors said that the couple, who had no experience in cryptocurrency exchanges, marketed the INDXcoin to Christians in Denver, and raised nearly $3.2 million from more than 300 people who bought it from June 2022 to April 2023. Mr. Regalado and his wife then used the money for themselves, the Colorado Division of Securities said."
