Lamor Miller-Whitehead, a 47-year-old Brooklyn bishop widely recognized for his extravagant lifestyle, has been found guilty of multiple charges including wire fraud, attempted extortion, and providing false information to the FBI.
The verdict was delivered by jurors in Manhattan Federal Court, with Whitehead facing a maximum sentence of 45 years in prison for his offenses.
The charges against Whitehead were the result of three separate fraudulent schemes. Notably known as the 'Bling Bishop,' Whitehead presided over the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie.

Instead, prosecutors revealed that he utilized the funds to finance his lavish lifestyle, which included luxury purchases.
Public records disclosed that Whitehead resided in a $1.6 million residence in Paramus, New Jersey, and possessed multiple apartment buildings in Hartford, Connecticut.
