Shocker! Who would have guessed?

The prosperity preacher who was robbed at gunpoint during a live-streamed service and relieved of reported $400,000 in watches, rings, and chains, and then subsequently was found guilty of wire fraud and extortion, has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison. According to reports:
U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield imposed the punishment on Monday, after Whitehead was found guilty of numerous fraud and attempted extortion charges, along with lying to the FBI. Prosecutors portrayed the 45-year-old church leader as a grifter, siphoning money from his followers — and demanding money for what he claimed was influence over New York Mayor Eric Adams.
Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead founded Brooklyn-based Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries, a false church if ever there was one. His ministry was registered as a for-profit business in 2014, and the church denies the Trinity.
We last wrote about him after Blinged-Up Prosperity Preacher Robbed of $1M+ in Jewelry During Church Live Stream, after he showed off his “Prayer Closet’ Full of Designer Clothes, Shoes, Diamonds and when he grabbed a Female Congregant and Shoved Her Off Pulpit After Interrupting Him.
His guilty conviction does not stem from his being robbed at gunpoint but rather a series of frauds he perpetrated to further this lavish lifestyle and stock his luxury goods- laden “prayer closet.”
Specifically, he “induced one of his parishioners to invest approximately $90,000 of her retirement savings with him by promising to use the money to help her buy a home. He then spent the money on luxury goods and other personal expenses and, when she demanded to be paid back, he continued to lie to avoid returning the money.”
Good riddance to grifting heretics.
