John and Charles investigate the connections between William Branham's ministry and the mob, including those closely associated with him. Thanks to a hand-written letter from Graham Snelling, former pastor of the Branham Tabernacle, Branham's criminal tax fraud is exposed. The discussion highlights long-held rumors and unverified stories about Branham's connections to questionable activities, which have not been fully documented. The hosts carefully present an argument, noting that while they cannot definitively prove these allegations, the sheer number of witnesses involved lends some credibility to the claims.

The conversation expands on how Graham Snelling, after years of working with Branham, took over as pastor of the Tabernacle in the late 1940s. However, after a series of tumultuous events, Snelling resigned in 1951. His resignation letter reveals internal disputes, including allegations of mishandling church funds and Branham’s tendency to force out other leaders. The episode underscores the complexity of Branham's operations and the conflicts between public perception and private realities, particularly regarding financial transparency and church leadership.
