Mr. Franklin Sanders
Biographical Sketch
Franklin Sanders grew up in and around Memphis, Tennessee. He graduated with a BA from Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College) in 1969. After two years in the U.S. Army, he attended graduate school at Tulane University and the Free University in Berlin.
Since 1980 Mr. Sanders has published and edited a monthly newsletter, The Moneychanger, -- to help Christian people prosper in an age of monetary and moral chaos. -- He has written or co-authored four books: Heiland, a novel of the future; The Greening (with Larry Abraham), an expose of the environmentalist hoax, and Paul Schneider, Witness of Buchenwald, a translation from German of the life of a pastor martyred by the Nazis. In 1993 Mr. Sanders wrote (with Jim Blanchard) Silver Bonanza: How to Profit From the Coming Bull Market in Silver.
In 1980 Mr. Sanders opened his own company brokering physical gold and silver. Working for grassroots monetary reform, in 1984 he opened a gold and silver bank (warehouse exchange). This angered the federal government and IRS, which investigated and harassed him for 4-1/2 years, ruining his business. In 1990 Mr. Sanders and his wife, Susan, were indicted along with 24 others for allegedly operating a secret bank and conspiring to evade income taxes. Each faced 19 years in prison. After the second longest criminal tax trial in American history, on July 9, 1991 the jury delivered not guilty verdicts on all counts for all defendants.
Mr. Sanders lives with his wife, five of his seven children, and five grandsons in the country in Dogwood Mudhole, Tennessee, which is not near anywhere.
