He made a bid (approx' two and a half times the market value for a plot of land. His display of financial power infuriated local farmers and fellowship elders alike. The accountant is often frustrated that he has no control over Stanton's spending sprees. I was mis-spending kingdom money: Noel Stanton was 'Building the Kingdom'.
