Oakland Diocese faces lawsuit alleging $106M fund transfer to evade clergy abuse payouts.

The Diocese of Oakland, California, is accused of moving $106 million into a fund to avoid paying survivors of clergy sexual abuse. The court filing claims this was done before the diocese filed for bankruptcy, suggesting a fraudulent scheme to protect assets. Survivors' attorneys want the court to either disallow this loan arrangement or make the fund subject to bankruptcy proceedings.
