Bling Bishop’ being Guilty of Fraud and Attempted Extortion

Bling Bishop" has shocked the world and tarnished the reputation of the Catholic Church. Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, known for his lavish lifestyle and extravagant spending, has been accused of fraud and attempted extortion.

It is alleged that the bishop used church funds to finance luxurious renovations to his residence, including a $20,000 bathtub and a $35,000 conference table. These exorbitant expenses have raised questions about his financial management and integrity.

Furthermore, it is claimed that Bishop Tebartz-van Elst attempted to extort money from a journalist who was investigating his spending habits. This blatant abuse of power and disregard for ethical standards is deeply troubling.

Lamor Whitehead, 46, of five counts, agreeing that he had used his position of power and influence to swindle hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who trusted him.

Whitehead could face up to 45 years in prison.

During the trial, prosecutors alleged that Whitehead had deceived a parishioner’s mother into giving him $90,000 from her retirement savings, after he promised he’d buy her a house and remodel it so that she could move in. He never bought her the house, and instead used the money to fund his lavish lifestyle, court documents show.

Whitehead was also accused of extorting Brandon Belmonte, the operator of a Bronx auto shop, for $5,000, using “threats of force,” according to the indictment. Belmonte has claimed that Whitehead threatened to beat him up if he didn’t pay.

Paula’s husband, Rasheed Anderson, met Whitehead in 2020. Rasheed says that “he would tell me he loved me all the time, like a father figure” and that Whitehead even helped him purchase a home.

Court documents accused Whitehead of spending the $90,000 that Paula Anderson wired him on car payments and items from Louis Vuitton and Foot Locker.
