Bishop Lamor Whitehead Sentenced to 9 Years in Jail For Scamming

The scam is finally up for Bishop Lamor Whitehead.Despite being able to infiltrate a lot of the New York elite in his time as a Bishop, the Feds have come down hard on Whitehead for his various scams, according to the New York Daily News.Lamor Whitehead, the politically connected Brooklyn pastor and self-described mentee of Mayor Adams dubbed the “Bling Bishop” for his flamboyant, big-spending lifestyle, was sentenced to nine years in prison Monday for swindling a parishioner’s mother out of her life savings and other scams.Manhattan federal court Judge Lorna Schofield handed down the term after hearing from financially destroyed victims and Whitehead himself, who namedropped a laundry list of city and state officials he’d dealt with, including the mayor, state Attorney General Letitia James, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, his predecessor, the late Ken Thompson, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey and others, none of whom were in attendance.
