A preacher notorious for proselytizing in flashy suits and expensive jewelry in Brooklyn was found guilty on multiple counts of fraud after a federal jury heard extensive evidence about the so-called “Bling Bishop’s” scams, including one involving attempted extortion of a businessman and another that depleted a trusting parishioners’ retirement account.

Lamor Whitehead was on trial in the Southern District of New York for two weeks, according to the Justice Department, but it only took a matter of hours for jurors to render their verdict on Monday and find the 45-year-old Paramus, New Jersey resident guilty on two counts of wire fraud, one count of attempted wire fraud, and one count of attempted extortion. Each charge carries a hefty maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Adding to that, Whitehead was convicted of one count of making false statements, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
