Grand Jury Charges Pastor, Wife in Alleged Multi-Million Dollar Cryptocurrency Scam

Holy fraud—a grand jury just dropped the hammer on a pastor and his wife for allegedly running a crypto con worth millions. Here’s how the faithful got fleeced.

The Divine Ponzi Scheme

Prosecutors claim the couple promised heavenly returns on cryptocurrency investments, swapping prayers for profits. Instead, victims got ghosted—along with their cash.

Crypto’s Original Sin

Another day, another rug pull. This one had a twist: scripture-quoting sales pitches and a ‘blessed wallet’ address. (Because nothing says ‘trust me’ like mixing Matthew 6:21 with an unregistered security.)

Regulators Circle the Flock

The SEC’s probably drafting a sermon on financial literacy right now. Meanwhile, the crypto world shrugs—after all, this scam wasn’t even in the top 10 of 2025’s exit schemes.

Moral of the story? When someone says ‘the Lord told me to launch this token,’ maybe check the blockchain explorer—not the Bible.
