Graham Blames Errors and Mail Mixup for Disclosure Lapse
Billy Graham said a "comedy of errors" including a postal mixup caused his organization's failure to comply with Minnesota's annuity disclosure law. He admitted an oversight and noted the group has halted selling annuities and will provide a full financial breakdown. Authorities say Minnesota revised its law in 1975 and the issue involved an address mix and misdirected notice. The evangelistic association, raising $20 to $25 million annually, plans to cooperate with Minnesota officials and begin public income and expense disclosures.
