while Archbishop Dolan [now Archbishop of New York] was its leader, [Milwaukee Archdiocese] moved $130 million off its books to avoid paying abuse claims.
The lawyer, Jeffrey R. Anderson, who represents clients in 23 lawsuits against the Milwaukee Archdiocese, said $75 million disappeared from the church’s investments in 2005. He said that $55 million more that had previously been unaccounted for appeared in a cemetery trust in 2008, and that the archdiocese claimed that money in that fund was protected by state law and could not be used for payouts.
