I can understand wanting to make a life changing decision after being unemployed for so long, but this attempted theft may have been a call from up above.
John Michael Haskew pled guilty plea to charges that he made $7 billion in fraudulent wire transfers because Jesus wanted him to be wealthy, Fox 25 reports.
In a heavily redacted criminal complaint, John Michael Haskew was accused of setting up the wire transfers on Dec. 9 and 10 from “a large, nationally renowned financial institution.”
Investigators were tipped off to the suspicious wire transfers on Dec. 12, saying Haskew had processed numerous transactions totaling more than $7 billion.
“(He stated) that Jesus Christ created wealth for everyone,” the criminal complaint said. “Using this scheme, Haskew believed that he could obtain the wealth that Jesus Christ created for him and that belonged to him.”
Haskew could face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
