‘Bling Pastor’ Robbed on Livestream Arrested for Fraud and False Statements
The prosperity preacher who was robbed at gunpoint during a live-streamed service and relieved of an estimated $400,000 in watches, rings, and chains and then later showed off his massive ‘Prayer Closet’ likewise decked out in filthy lucre, has been arrested by Federal agents and charged with fraud, extortion, and making false statements.
The crooked pastor was indicted for defrauding a congregant from her life savings, an estimated $90,000 that he then allegedly spent on luxury clothes and watches. If found guilty, he faces 20 years in prison.
He was released on a $500,000 bond. Whitehead’s lawyer told the NY Daily News:
We are vigorously going to defend these accusations…we feel that he is being targeted, and he is being turned from a victim into a villain. Now, everyone was wrong about Bishop Lamor Whitehead setting up the robbery at the church. People were arrested. He had nothing to do with that. This all stems out of a civil lawsuit that is being handled in civil court and he will be vindicated.”
