Deceitful crafty little fucker.Brooklyn’s ‘Bling Bishop’ Faces $5 Million Lawsuit from Congregation
Brooklyn’s ‘Bling Bishop’ Lamor Whitehead faces a $5 million lawsuit as his congregation attempts to evict him amid ongoing controversies and legal battles.
The bling is losing its luster!
Lamor Whitehead, the embattled “Bling Bishop” of Brooklyn, has been hit with a $5 million lawsuit by a church in Canarsie that says he illegally evicted the congregation after purchasing the building at auction, and is now allegedly stalling on handing it back over in violation of a court order.
Glory of God Global Ministry, at 5904 Foster Ave. in Canarsie, filed a suit against the flashy pastor in Brooklyn Supreme Court last week, seeking significant monetary damages for “fraud,” “conspiracy,” and “tortious interference” with contract and business operations allegedly committed by Whitehead. Glory of God wants a judge to force Whitehead to relinquish the property back over to the parish, and have Whitehead be “forever barred from claiming ownership of the premises.”
Lawyers for the church and for Whitehead did not respond to requests for comment. A message to Glory of God on Sunday was also not returned.
Bishop Whitehead — who leads the congregation at Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie, is known for his affinity for luxury cars and expensive bling, and now faces a slew of federal fraud charges that could land him in prison — purchased the Glory of God building through a trust at a foreclosure auction last February, paying $1.94 million according to city property records. Glory of God had purchased the building in 2014 through Triple C’s Venture LLC.
In December, Glory of God’s senior pastor Funmi Williams said that Whitehead illegally changed the locks on the Foster Avenue building and began tossing the church’s property in a dumpster. Whitehead had deemed himself the rightful owner, but Williams — who contested the tax lien that sent the building into foreclosure, maintaining the church had tax-exempt status — countered that the congregation had never surrendered the premises to the bishop, calling Whitehead’s actions “shocking and traumatic.”
“The Subject Building is home to a congregation which conducts Sunday services for hundreds of neighborhood members all of whom are now locked out of the Subject Building based upon Petitioner’s illegal acts,” Williams wrote in an affidavit to the court. “Myself, Petitioner, and our entire congregation are outraged that Respondent has taken the law into its own hands by changing the locks.”
That month, Brooklyn Civil Court Judge Heela Capell sided with Glory of God, ordering the congregation be allowed back on the property and declaring the eviction illegal, as it had taken place without a court order.
Afterward, in January, Civil Court Judge Sandra Roper again sided with Glory of God and ordered that possession of the building be restored to the congregation, and that evening parishioners gathered outside the building to pray and attempt to serve papers to the bishop.
That same day, Whitehead filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court. In March, Whitehead’s lawyer filed court papers claiming that the bankruptcy application “operates as a stay” against enforcement of the judge’s order for him to relinquish the church property back to the parish.

‘Bling Bishop’ robber wants lighter sentence because of preacher’s own crimes

An ex-con who robbed Brooklyn ‘Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead during a live-streamed sermon is requesting leniency on his sentence because the flamboyant preacher is also a fraudster.
Whitehead is a “career con man and liar” who was sentenced to nine years in prison in June after a jury found him guilty of stealing a parishioner’s retirement fund and other brazen crimes, the defense attorney for robber Say-Quan Pollack argued in a letter to a judge.
“The arrest, trial and conviction of Bishop Lamor Whitehead, one of the victims here, bears mention and consideration by the Court,” attorney Gary Villanueva wrote in the Friday missive to Judge William Kuntz.
“Although the Bishop’s crimes and conviction do not exonerate Say-Quan nevertheless they are factors which the Court may consider in fashioning a reasonable sentence that is not greater than necessary to achieve valid penological goals,” he argued.

Pollack, 25, pleaded guilty in November to one count of federal robbery in connection with the July 2022 stickup at Whitehead’s Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie.
Whitehead – known for his penchant for designer suits and excessive jewelry – was livestreaming a sermon at the parish when three masked, gun-toting men barged in and stole $1 million in jewels and other items from him and his wife.
Pollack and a second man, Juwan Anderson, will be sentenced this month for their role in the crime.
The third gunman, Shamar Leggette, was shot dead in a gunfight with police and US Marshals in New Jersey in January.

What do you think? Post a comment.
Villanueva’s six-page letter to Judge Kuntz did not say exactly why Whitehead’s “appalling” crimes should impact Pollack’s sentencing, but he also drew attention to his client’s difficult childhood.
Pollack’s younger years were marked by “instability, insecurity, parental neglect and diminished educational opportunities,” the attorney wrote.
A few weeks after he robbed Whitehead, Pollack was accepted into an underwater welding training program – and he was arrested just two weeks before he was set to move to Texas to start, Villanueva added.
“He has had to live with the anguish of defeat, having come so close to a dream and having that dream dry up like a raisin in the sun,” the defense lawyer said.

Whitehead was convicted of swindling multiple parishioners out of $7.2 million.
His victims included Pauline Anderson, who gave Whitehead her $90,000 life savings in order to buy her a house, Villanueva’s letter noted.
Instead, Whitehead immediately used the cash to splash out on “luxury car payments and travel,” the lawyer said.
The preacher – who claimed to have rubbed elbows with Mayor Adams – made headlines just two months before the live-streamed robbery when he tried to insert himself into a failed attempt to talk down an accused subway shooter.
The flashy con man’s antics drew scorn from the police and defense attorneys.
During his sentencing in June, Whitehead maintained his innocence and insisted he was a “pillar of the community.”

“As far as remorse, I’m very remorseful,” he claimed. “I hate to see anyone hurt.”
The fallen religious leader previously served five years in prison on charges related to a $2 million identity theft scheme in which he bought luxury vehicles after opening lines of credit in other people’s names.
Gary Villanueva could not immediately be reached for a comment on Tuesday.
