Charles T. Sebesta, the former leader of the Los Angeles Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist has been accused by Federal agents from the Department of Justice of using some of the $11 million he siphoned from the church to buy, among other things, a membership in to Disneyland’s exclusive Club 33 restaurant.
Club 33, which is inside Disneyland, is one of the most expensive restaurants in the world, with an initial initiation fee of $25,000 and an annual membership fee of $10,000. Sebesta reportedly used his membership in the Club to woo entertainment and sports executives.
Sebesta kept up this charade over a decade, working his way up through the ranks of the Fifth Church of Christ, Christ and then using his position as a Chairman to forge checks and draw in close to $11.5 million.
There is no word yet on what his sentence will be, or if he’ll have to give up that coveted Club 33 Membership!
