Brian Carn Sentenced To Nine Months In Prison
JACKSONVILLE, FL – The so-called “prophet” and pulpit pimp Brian Carn — the North Carolina and Florida preacher who’s been strutting around laying hands, spitting prophecies, and raking in cash from the faithful — just got sentenced to nine months behind bars for straight-up trying to cheat the government out of over $600,000 in taxes.
The so-called man of God was busted for concealing more than $1.3 million in income while living high on the hog — Bentleys, Mercedes, luxury loans, the whole fake-it-till-you-make-it preacher lifestyle.
Court documents paint the picture of a slick operator who filed a real 2015 return showing he made over $1.4 million (owing $606k in taxes), then allegedly flipped the script with fake amended returns, phony salary documents claiming he only made $120k, and then stopped filing taxes altogether like the IRS was gonna forget.
Carn will be trading in his cheap suits for prison scrubs within the next 45 days after Thursday’s sentencing. Federal prosecutors wanted him gone for 18-24 months. Nine months is still a nice little vacation in the feds for a man who spent years telling everybody else how to live holy while allegedly robbing Uncle Sam blind.
Ratchet Church Folk Show Up Delusional as Ever
The courtroom in Jacksonville was packed Thursday with some of Carn’s most loyal — and let’s keep it real — ratchet, unsaved church members who rolled up thinking their “prophet” was about to get a divine get-out-of-jail-free card.
Truth Behind Brian Carn Tax Scam
According to court documents, Carn ran multiple “ministries” — Healing House, Brian Carn Ministries, Kingdom Culture City Churches — while allegedly hiding assets, lying on financial forms, and telling banks one story about his millions while telling the tax man a whole different broke-boy tale. Prosecutors say the tax loss to the U.S. Treasury sat between $550,000 and $1.5 million.
This isn’t the first time the self-proclaimed prophet has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Just weeks ago he went viral after telling a woman in his congregation to sell her house in 90 days and bring him the tithe money. And this all comes after he already pleaded guilty earlier this year to obstructing the IRS.
Carn is expected to report to federal prison real soon and that means no more private jets or luxury rides for a while.
