Any Minister trying to solicit investments is a giant red flag.

Using Christianity is the easiest way for crooks to scam people especially the elderly.

I'm happy she got a life sentence, but its aggravating that people are only getting 15-40 years for murder.

[noteven]

Thirty million and you look like that!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[davidhill]

At one point, I felt sorry for people like this. These so-called preachers and televangelists have been exposed over and over and over again. If you ignore it and continue to send them money, that's on you. Educate yourself.

These religious groups need to be paying taxes.

Wolves go where there are sheep, beware.

Religion has always been a business, and business is good.

Good job by the prosecutors, I know they worked hard with this case.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

[QuarrellaDeVil]

You have to wonder how many of his listeners just switched over to someone else who wants to pocket their money.

Let's talk about that alligator couch! Nana is ballin'!!!

If someone has something to sell you they have more to gain than you. Sometimes much more.

William Gallagher… that’s what you call a face for radio 😂

[rancher]

selling jesus has been one of the most lucrative jobs for two thousand years

[fgkjkh]

An American televangelist steals money? NO WAY 😂😂😂

[crptnite]

Those are some righteous gemstones indeed.

[imdon]

How do they get life yet a cop broke into the wrong house, shot and took an innocent man's life, in his house and she got about 14 years? WTF?

[kentpass]

This must be the christian values everyone keeps talking about.
