Jermaine Grant | Leaders of a church that drew attention for its anti-Jewish views were sentenced to prison. Jermaine Grant, the leader of the New York-based Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, received 18 months and treasurer Lincoln Warrington was sentenced to 12. The two funneled more than $5.3m through an entertainment company, and used it for private school tuition, a trip to Disneyland and luxury purchases. | The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ. Both men pleaded guilty last year. |
Grant, known as 'Chief High Priest Tazadaqyah' created the company "in order to portray Grant as an entertainment industry mogul." The Harlem-based Church of God in Jesus Christ is a black nationalist hate group. Part of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, it preaches that blacks are among the lost tribes of Israel. |
