Niggler, aka Bishop Lamore Whitehead, is going to prison for a long time.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams' protégé, alleged Bishop Lamore Whitehead, will be sent to prison for nine years.
Whitehead's prison sentence is a verdict of hoodwinking and defrauding a parishioner's mother out of her life savings, as well as other fraud.
The decision comes after Judge Lorna Schofield heard evidence from victims of Whitehead's scam and 'Bling Bishop' himself, who took a page out of rapper The Game's book by naming everyone he allegedly had an affair with .
Manhattan U.S. District Court Judge Lorna Schofield granted the clause after hearing from financially devastated victims and Whitehead himself, who released a list of city and state officials he had colluded with, including Mayor , state Attorney General Letitia James, Brooklyn Attorney General Eric Gonzalez. his predecessor, the late Ken Thompson, NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey and others, none of whom were present.
“I see no remorse for your behaviour,” Judge Schofield said, describing the evidence as “frankly overwhelming”.
Lamor Whitehead's Reckoning Comes After a Jury Strike with a Guilty Verdict in March
A jury hit Whitehead, the pastor of Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie, Brooklyn, with a guilty verdict on five charges including wire fraud, attempted extortion, lying to the FBI and other charges from three different schemes in March.
Prosecutors successfully argued during the trial that Whitehead abused the trust of his loyal followers, defrauding them of tens of thousands of dollars by dangling his ties to Mayor Adams.
Manhattan District Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement:
“Lamore Whitehead is a con man who stole millions of dollars in a series of finances. scams and even stole from one of his parishioners. He lied to federal agents and again in court during his trial. Today's sentence puts an end to Whitehead's various schemes and reflects this office's commitment to holding accountable those who abuse their positions of trust.”
Social media also wants Eric Adams in jail
Reactions to the news that Whitehead has been jailed for nine years are overwhelming.
Of course, many are bashing Bling Bishop, but much of the backlash is for New York City Mayor Eric Adams to end up behind bars.
“I AM DOING @NYCMAYOR NEXT PLEASE AND THANKS @FBI,” wrote a user on X.
