A church seeking to recover money lost in the 2010 conservatorship and liquidation of the St. Paul Croatian FCU is alleging NCUA staff told credit union employees to show SPC members with deposits larger than $250,000 how to structure them to maximize payments from the NCUSIF.

The church, Holy Love Ministry, of North Ridgeville, Ohio, has sued the agency as agent for the SPC liquidation in an attempt to recover the balance of the more than $1.5 million that the church said it had in two joint accounts with numerous signatories prior to the the liquidation.
