One of Jack's clients was the Shreveport pastor [[Jimmy Tharpe]] of the Baptist Tabernacle, an [[Independent Baptist]] congregation. Tharpe retained Jack to appear before the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]], which was investigating its sale of church bonds. A government administrator in [[Fort Worth], Texas, had told Tharpe that the church had two weeks before it must declare [[bankruptcy]], but Jack's trip quickly resolved the matter.<ref>Jimmy G.
