The ‘Bling Bishop’ Is Sentenced to 9 Years for Fleecing His Flock

The ‘Bling Bishop’ Is Sentenced to 9 Years for Fleecing His Flock
Lamor Whitehead, the flamboyant
Brooklyn preacher who
was convicted of defrauding a parishioner’s mother and
attempting to commit
extortion, was sentenced
to nine years in prison by
a federal judge in Manhattan
on Monday.
Mr. Whitehead, known as
“the bling bishop,” was
already in custody after
Judge Lorna G. Schofield
revoked his bail last month,
admonishing him for making false statements about law enforcement
officials and his victims on
social media. Prosecutors
have said that after his
conviction in March, he had
even tried to sell legal
documents from his case online.
“I don’t see any remorse for
your conduct,” the judge told
Mr. Whitehead on Monday
after he delivered a rambling
monologue asking for her
mercy. She added that he
did not appear to appreciate
the impact of his crimes
