Whatever televangelist Jim Bakker is selling, the New York Attorney General ain’t buying.
Lisa Landau, Chief of the Health Care Bureau, gave The Jim Bakker Show 10 days to comply with a cease-and-desist letter that tells him to stop touting an alleged cure for the coronavirus. The letter was sent Thursday to Bakker’s office and cited a Feb. 12 episode of his show that claimed a Silver Solution sold on his website would be a preventative against the coronavirus.
John Oliver covered the claims on his HBO Last Week Tonight show (see video below at the 17-minute mark).
Bakker was previously convicted of fraud and served time in federal prison related to his activities connected to his popular Praise The Lord (PTL) Club show, a religious version of mainstream talk shows featuring Jim and wife Tammy Faye Bakker. The couple later divorced in 1992 in the wake of a scandal that saw Bakker pay hush money to cover up an affair with church secretary Jessica Hahn. But at one point in the 1980s, he was arguably the most prominent televangelist in America.

Doesn't pay nearly as well as evangelist.
He’s a flim-flam man for sure, but no worse than anyone on CNN or MSNBC.
You would have thought he learned his lesson.
How the mighty have fallen.
Hell, just let him take money from American suckers.

He’s still around? I thought he was embalmed long ago.
Maybe I confused him with Tammi Fay.
They really have fallen, just ask Finger Licken Mini Mike about Free Fallin.
Caveat emptor (/ˈɛmptɔːr/; from caveat, "may he beware", a subjunctive form of cavēre, "to beware" + ēmptor, "buyer") is Latin for "Let the buyer beware".[1] It has become a proverb in English. Generally, caveat emptor is the contract law principle that controls the sale of real property after the date of closing, but may also apply to sales of other goods. The phrase caveat emptor and its use as a disclaimer of warranties arise from the fact that buyers typically have less information than the seller about the good or service they are purchasing. This quality of the situation is known as 'information asymmetry'. Defects in the good or service may be hidden from the buyer, and only known to the seller.
It is a short form of Caveat emptor, quia ignorare non debuit quod jus alienum emit ("Let a purchaser beware, for he ought not to be ignorant of the nature of the property which he is buying from another party.")[2] I.e. the buyer should assure himself that the product is good and that the seller had the right to sell it, as opposed to receiving stolen property.
A common way that information asymmetry between seller and buyer has been addressed is through a legally binding warranty, such as a guarantee of satisfaction. But without such a safeguard in place the ancient rule applies, and the buyer should beware.
My mom was besties with Tammy Faye and never told me. One day, in 1998, I had the TV on during the Larry King Show while I was the kitchen. Suddenly, I hear my mom’s voice on TV! King called her for an interview, asking how well they were doing in the Fed near Palm Springs. Shocked, I called her after the show and asked “Soooooo...any other secret notorious friends you’re not sharing me?”
He charletan is still around pulling the same crap? Jail time did him no good whatsoever.
Obviously, there are still people gullible enough to send money to this con man. He has no shame.
Yet the mediaVOMITS get away with causing so much unneeded panic without substantial proof of country wide deadly spread in the multiple thousands deaths! So who’s more dangerous here?
Let me guess: "Squeaky" Fromm and Ulrike Meinhof?
Regards,
I'm more concerned about the flu than CV, but I don't see flu deaths and cases being posted.
Ever notice how church secretary Jessica Hahn went into porn after her rape by Baker?
I never trusted the guy after seeing him one time on TV, although my mother-in-law thought he hung the moon.
I remember his show trial where they paraded him before the cameras in shackles. That was Christianity on trial at a Leftist court.
That is the same mentality in this current case.
Can’t believe he tried this. The trouble is, this might give Peter Popoff ideas for something new to try instead of his ‘Miracle Spring Water’. ;-)
