A bishop in Brooklyn, New York, who authorities say stole from one of his parishioners was sentenced to nine years in prison Monday in a series of financial fraud crimes that netted him millions, federal prosecutors said.
Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead, 46, was convicted in March of wire fraud, attempted wire fraud, attempted extortion and making false statements to federal law enforcement agents, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York said in a statement.
Miller-Whitehead, a bishop at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries church in Canarsie, made headlines in July 2022 when armed assailants robbed him and his wife of $1 million worth of jewelry during a livestreamed service , police said.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams called him “a con man who stole millions of dollars in a string of financial frauds and even stole from one of his own parishioners.”
“He lied to federal agents, and again to the Court at his trial,” Williams said in the statement. “Today’s sentence puts an end to Whitehead’s various schemes and reflects this Office’s commitment to bring accountability to those who abuse their positions of trust.”
Miller-Whitehead was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $85,000 in restitution and forfeit $95,000, prosecutors said.
Attorney Dawn Florio said in a statement Monday that Miller-Whitehead is innocent and vowed his legal fight is not over.
"As today’s sentencing was not what we had hoped for, we are deeply saddened by the outcome. Despite this setback, we remain steadfast in our belief in Bishop Lamor Miller Whitehead’s innocence and are committed to continuing the fight," Florio said.
"We will explore all available legal avenues to ensure that justice is served," she said. "Our dedication to proving Bishop Whitehead’s innocence is unwavering, and we will immediately begin the appeal process."
During the 2022 robbery incident, armed assailants “displayed firearms and demanded property” from Miller-Whitehead and his wife, police said.
Miller-Whitehead embraced his flashy lifestyle. He was known for driving around in a Rolls-Royce, and records show he lived in a $1.6 million home in Paramus, New Jersey. He also owned apartment buildings in Hartford, Connecticut.
A number listed on the leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries Facebook page was not in service Monday afternoon.
Miller-Whitehead persuaded one of his parishioners to invest about $90,000 from her retirement savings with him by promising he would help buy her a home, prosecutors said. He spent the money on luxury goods and personal expenses and did not pay her back when she asked, prosecutors said.
He also extorted a businessman out of $5,000, prosecutors said, and tried to persuade the same man to lend him $500,000 and stakes in real estate transactions in return for favorable actions from the mayor of New York City, prosecutors said.
Miller-Whitehead could not deliver on his promises, prosecutors said.
He also submitted a fraudulent application for a $250,000 business loan that included doctored bank statements that claimed he had millions of dollars in the bank and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly revenue.
“He submitted similar fraudulent applications to various other financial institutions, stealing millions of dollars in the process,” prosecutors said.

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. ( WALA ) - A judge in Florida on Monday handed down a 10-year state prison term for a man convicted of trafficking methamphetamine.
Judge John Brown imposed the sentence on Michael Dwayne Jenkins after a jury found him guilty, state prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The conviction stemmed from Jenkins’ Feb. 4, 2023, arrest by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. Jenkins was found to be concealing about 143 grams — just over 5 ounces — of meth on his person, according to state prosecutors.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- On Monday, a Houston man was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for making several threatening phone calls to California Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters.
Brian Michael Gaherty, 61, was sentenced and fined $10,000 by United States District Judge R. Gary Klausner.
SEE PREVIOUS STORY: Houston man indicted for alleged threat to kill US Rep. Waters
The judge found that Gaherty targeted Waters because of her race and applied a hate-crime enhancement to Gaherty's sentence.
On Jan. 29, Gaherty pleaded guilty to one count of threatening a United States official.
In his plea agreement, Gaherty admitted threatening to assault and murder Waters on four occasions in August and November 2022.
According to officials, Gaherty made these threats with the intent to impede, intimidate, and interfere with Waters while she was engaged in the performance of her official duties.
Gaherty left four voicemails at Waters' district office in Los Angeles County, each of which contained a violent threat, profanity, and racist and misogynistic language.
In August 2022, Gaherty threatened to "put a cap" between the congresswoman's eyes," "cut [ her ] throat," and "stomp" her. He further warned that she "better move" because he and his "boys in the area" had a "contract" on her life.
Authorities contacted Gaherty and told him to disengage in Oct. 2022, but a few weeks later, he continued with more violent threats.
In November 2022, Gaherty left Waters two additional voicemails, informing Waters that she "done [ expletive ] up" by reporting his threats to law enforcement, and stated, "This ain't no threat. It's a ...promise."
He also threatened to meet Waters "on the street" and "get in [ her ] face," and again told her that he and his "crowd" had a contract to "take [ her ] ... out." Finally, he warned, "You better watch your back."
The United States Capitol Police and the FBI investigated this matter.
Assistant United States Attorney Laura A. Alexander of the Environmental Crimes and Consumer Protection Section prosecuted this case.

Delaware, the biden family's base, ranks fourth in the nation for overdose deaths, ahead of hard-hit states including louisiana, maine and kentucky..
WILMINGTON, Del. – Tyrone Mathis stood with his sunglasses perched atop his head near a drug abuse outreach van two blocks from where President Joe Biden’s son was convicted last week on narcotics-related gun charges, scanning the street for targets.
He called out as a younger woman in a tube top and leather shorts sauntered by, asking if she wanted a bottle of water. He ushered her over, nearly crushing an unlit cigarette she had dropped.
“Don’t step on it!” the woman warned before Mathis bent to retrieve the still-intact smoke. On his way up, he inquired quietly: Might she also need some naloxone – the magic bullet nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses . The client left with both – hydrated and armed against a possible fentanyl assault.
It was just another day of outreach after a week that saw the first family's struggle with drug use at the top of the national conversation.

Mathis, a former fire chief who is in substance use recovery, found himself wincing at news reports of Hunter Biden’s trial. Painful details of the younger Biden’s four-year struggle with crack cocaine spilled out of the courtroom and around the world.
“It was too much attention,” Mathis told the USA TODAY Network. Still, he added, “It lets everybody know that no one's immune from this. It has reached the White House – the biggest house in the United States of America.”
Delaware is best known nationally as the Biden family's political citadel, a state that's legal home to more than two-thirds of corporations making up the Fortune 500. But Hunter Biden's trial made his birthplace a stand-in for the rest of the union: Delaware ranks fourth in overdose deaths per capita, ahead of hard-hit states like Louisiana, Maine and Kentucky.
Blocks from the courthouse in Wilmington where a federal jury found Hunter Biden guilty of lying about his addiction on a federal gun form in 2018 while buying a .38-cal. revolver, some of the jurors who voted to convict him wrangled over treatment, punishment and America's bottomless drug problem.
More: 'GUILTY': GOP both celebrates and downplays Hunter Biden verdict
The guilty verdict – the first criminal conviction of a sitting president’s child – followed five days of what prosecutors called “searingly honest” testimony about the 54-year-old’s crack cocaine habit. Prosecutors dredged up mountains of evidence of Biden’s drug use, imploding relationships and the “dangerous” decisions he made in the throes of addiction.
All the while, they insisted that he was only being punished for his decision to buy a gun.
Yet with daily reminders that people in recovery often consider themselves lifelong addicts or alcoholics, the trial also raised a key question: Can – and should – former users and their loved ones ever fully move on from the past?
As jurors deliberated last Monday afternoon and into Tuesday morning, they debated this very quandary. One member of the Biden panel, a 68-year-old who asked to be identified as Juror 10, told the USA TODAY Network he had acquaintances who'd struggled with addiction. “This is something that sticks with you for the rest of your life,” he said.
A different juror questioned why Hunter’s struggle had to become such a spectacle.
"I say fine him,” this juror said. “I don’t think anyone who is a non-violent drug addict should be in prison. Just fine him. We know he did something wrong. He needs help if he hasn’t gotten it yet.”
Hunter Biden has been in recovery since 2019 , he and his lawyers have said.
More: Hunter Biden prosecution a 'waste of taxpayer dollars': Convicting jurors talk about historic trial
David Weiss, the Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware and special counsel appointed in August 2023 to investigate “allegations of certain criminal conduct” by Hunter Biden, said he wasn't prosecuting a substance abuse problem. “This case was not just about addiction, a disease that haunts families across the United States,” Weiss said. “It was about the illegal choices the defendant made while in the throes of addiction…It was these choices and the combination of guns and drugs that made him dangerous.”
Hunter Biden’s addiction − and deeply private images from that time that were copied from his laptop by allies of former President Donald Trump − have made him a political target in the middle of a razor-thin presidential race. The internet is thick with memes showing the president’s son in a debased state. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, even displayed some of the images during a congressional hearing.
Now, he may face prison time, though U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump appointee, hasn’t yet set a sentencing date. President Joe Biden has said he will neither pardon his son for the federal conviction, nor commute Hunter’s eventual sentence .
“Our courts have said addiction is not an excuse to get a lighter sentence,” researcher Maia Szalavitz , the author of several books on substance abuse disorder, told USA TODAY. “The prisons would be empty.”
More: Treatment or enforcement? Record fentanyl deaths spark new debate over war on drugs
Whether jail time would benefit the younger Biden or public safety is another question.
“In my opinion, someone who is showing a commitment to recovery, at a time like this, it could do more damage than good,” Travis, a 41-year-old recovering user at the Odyssey House treatment program in New York, said in an interview.
“One thing you see about Hunter Biden is how he has support from his family . From my own history of incarceration, it’s very difficult to be separated from that very important support during addiction and recovery,” the North Carolina native said.
“I don’t think it does any good for society.”
John Alexander Koch, a former substance user who now works in drug treatment in Phoenix, agreed.
"The goal is to get to people who are still suffering," he said. "Hunter Biden’s experience can help motivate them to find change and find peace in their lives.”

One of the most powerful political figures in New Jersey, he was indicted on Monday on charges of racketeering.
By Tracey Tully
George E. Norcross III, who was indicted on Monday on charges of racketeering, has never held elected office but has wielded immense political power in New Jersey for decades.
A Democrat, he rose to prominence in Camden, N.J., after dropping out of Rutgers University in the late 1970s. His father helped him start a small insurance company in Camden and introduced him to the mayor, who appointed him to the city’s parking authority — the only government position he has ever held.
Mr. Norcross, 68, went on to become financially successful and politically potent, playing a large role in selecting New Jersey’s political leaders and influencing state policy .
For six years, from 1989 to 1995, he was chairman of Camden County’s Democratic Association, but he has continued to be largely in control of the organization since then. He served many years on the Democratic National Committee, until he was forced, in 2021, to resign after reporting showed that he had registered to vote in Florida , where he now spends much of his time.
He had alliances that often blurred the lines between the Democratic and Republican parties. For years he was both a close friend of the former House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and a member of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.
Mr. Norcross led the insurance division of Commerce Bank and is now chairman of Conner Strong & Buckelew, one of the nation’s largest insurance firms.
