Raleigh pastor faces 82 years in federal prison for bank fraud, wire fraud among other charges

The saying “Everything is going down BUT the word of God,” is true because, at Crown Ministries in Raleigh, North Carolina, baby EVERYTHING is going down BUT the Word of God, oh GAWD.

The feds have stepped in and charged Pastor Sharon Annita Edmonds, 51, who they say committed bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, making false statements to a bank on loans, aggravated identity theft, and perjury.

Edmonds was not alone in this operation, and I won’t bash her because she hasn’t been convicted, but to even be among the ACC– USED is not of God, and the self-proclaimed “Prophet” (Profit) didn’t see this coming.

  1. One thing I have actually noticed is the fact that there are plenty of beliefs regarding the lenders intentions when talking about home foreclosure. One delusion in particular would be the fact the bank desires your house. Your banker wants your dollars, not the home. They want the bucks they gave you together with interest. Steering clear of the bank will undoubtedly draw a new foreclosed final result. Thanks for your posting.
