Reproduced below is the text of an article that appeared in the February 27, 2001 issue of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. It mentioned Donald H. Tiger's indictment and his reason for using aliases.
accounting who made a big mistake accepting a job with the fledgling church. He said he obtained fake licenses, phony birth certificates and other documents to hide from members of the Worldwide Church of God who stalked him after he split from them theologically. Wadsworth police discovered the doctored papers last year when they searched Tigers home and storage lockers after church officials complained he had made a mess of financial records. Church money and checks were never accounted for, but Tiger was never charged with embezzling because police could not prove he took anything. Assistant Prosecutor Scott Salisbury said Tiger was indicted for forgery because he intended to use his phony IDs for fraud. Bank officials testified yesterday they would have challenged more than 100 financial transactions in the name of Gregory Walburn - one of Tigers aliases - if they knew he did not exist. Salisbury said Tiger may have used phony names to hide his accounts and to work as an accountant in Ohio while he still collected unemployment compensation from Illinois.
