Bishop Lamor Whitehead is in the news again, and as expected, for the wrong reasons. According to reports, the con artist who calls himself Bishop is facing charges for allegedly faking bank records for a million-dollar mansion in New Jersey.
VladTV got the details;
News recently surfaced noting that Bishop Lamor Whitehead allegedly faked bank records in order to try and finance a million-dollar mansion in New Jersey.
Federal prosecutors made a claim in an indictment that surfaced this past Wednesday, with the feds claiming 44-year-old Whitehead changed bank statements to reflect an LLC had an average balance of $2 million. However, according to the claims, the account mentioned had less than $10. The bishop allegedly created a fake bank account in 2019 to try and get the mortgage. The indictment noted the bishop wasn’t given the loan, and Whitehead was charged with wire fraud related to fabricating information for the LLC.
Whitehead previously was the subject of national headlines after he was robbed of $1 million at gunpoint while on a live stream of a church service.
Since then, Whitehead has appeared on ‘Way Up With Angela Yee,’ claiming the FBI was targeting him and that a White man set him up.
The white man does set a lot of people up. The Bishop isn’t one of them.
“As we allege today, Lamor Whitehead abused the trust placed in him by a parishioner, bullied a businessman for $5,000, then tried to defraud him of far more than that, and lied to federal agents,” said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. “His campaign of fraud and deceit stops now.”
According to court documents, Whitehead allegedly convinced one of his parishioners to transfer $90,000 from her retirement savings account to him last year, promising to use some of the money to help her buy a home and to invest the rest in his real estate business. Rather than using the money as promised, Whitehead reportedly used the funds to buy “luxury goods and clothing” for himself, and did not return any of the money to the parishioner — even after she asked him to.
Whitehead also allegedly “used threats of force,” to obtain $5,000 from a business owned by a second victim — per court documents, the victim made the payment to Whitehead “at the direction of law enforcement.” Last spring, according to court documents, Whitehead approached the businessman again and tried to get him to transfer $500,000 to Whitehead and give him stake in his real estate business. In exchange, Whitehead allegedly promised to secure “favorable actions” from the city government that would benefit both the victim and Whitehead.
