Sun Myung Moon died in South Korea, from complications of pneumonia, at the age of ninety-two. He had been in the hospital since Tuesday.
Moon was the founder of the Unification Church. The church is most well known for the mass weddings which they started decades ago. Some accuse the church of being a cult, as some of the partakers of the mass weddings have never met til the ceremony.
He was also extremely anti Communist. Mostly that was based on his imprisonment, by North Koreans, during the Korean War.
At one time he was taken to court, by the US government, for tax evasion. He was convicted and served time in a federal prison.
Various media outlets were founded by Moon, including the Washington Post and United Press International.
