'Bling Bishop' SMACKED With 9 Year PRISON Sentence For FRAUD, EXTORTION | Roland Martin

A flamboyant New York pastor who made headlines in 2022 when he was robbed during a live-streamed church service in Brooklyn will spend nine years in federal prison. Lamor Whitehead was found guilty of numerous fraud and attempted extortion charges, along with lying to the FBI. Prosecutors describe the 45-year-old church leader as a grifter, conning money from his followers. During the two-week trial, prosecutors described how Whitehead extracted $90,000 from a single mom in her 50s who attended his church. He allegedly promised that the money would serve as both an investment and to provide her with a home. Instead, prosecutors say Whitehead spent the money on himself. #BlackStarNetwork advertising partner: Mass Poor People’s and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington, D.C. and to the Polls 6.29.2024👉🏾 https://vist.ly/37jmv #PoorPeoplesCampaign #2024 #2024Election #MoralMarch #Vote2024 #SocialJustice #EmpowerThePeople Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork via the Cash App ☛ https://cash.app/$rmunfiltered PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
