A Brooklyn preacher who prosecutors say looted a parishioner’s retirement savings and tried to extort a businessman to fuel his lavish lifestyle is set to go on trial in Manhattan federal court
A Brooklyn preacher with ties to New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to go on trial Monday in Manhattan federal court over charges that he looted a parishioner’s retirement savings and tried to extort a businessman to fuel his lavish lifestyle.
Lamor Miller-Whitehead, 47, a Rolls Royce-driving bishop, faces the start of jury selection two years after a grand jury lodged charges against him including wire fraud, attempted wire fraud, attempted extortion and making false statements to federal law enforcement officials.
Prosecutors say he plundered a parishioner’s savings and duped a businessman with false claims that they could leverage his connections to New York City officials, including Adams, to make millions of dollars. Miller-Whitehead has pleaded not guilty.
Never met a poor preacher, seems like a nice easy job for people with no morals. Sorry preach, Jesus said your supposed to live in poverty, not own 7 motorcycles and 4 atv’s and a Lexus, and a boat, and a cottage by the lake. Pharisees
