A Missouri court has ordered televangelist Jim Bakker and his church to pay $156,000 after viewers purchased a fake COVID-19 cure during the pandemic. 

The settlement, announced by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, bans Bakker from advertising or selling the product to “diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat or cure any disease or illness.” The total value represents $90,000 from the agreement in addition to payments and refunds that Bakker has already made.

The money will go toward refunding viewers who purchased the solution in February and March of 2020, Forbes reported. 

“My Office will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of Missouri consumers, and will not hesitate to take action when those consumers are being defrauded,” Attorney General Eric Schmitt said. 

This is a good start, but if a single one of Bakker’s moron customers died as a result of not getting effective treatment, I would roll with wrongful death in civil court and/or manslaughter in criminal court.

What a contemptible turd.
