A man who stole $7 billion through fraudulent wire charges says he did so because Jesus wanted him to.
John Michael Haskew reportedly told the federal government a bank routing number was his when it wasn’t. He made more than 70 transactions worth $7 billion with that routing number, NBC Miami reports.
Haskew reportedly told court officials his faith entitled him to the money.
“(He stated) that Jesus Christ created wealth for everyone,” the criminal complaint said. “Using this scheme, Haskew believed that he could obtain the wealth that Jesus Christ created for him and that belonged to him.”
Last we checked, the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil.
