Former Brooklyn bishop Lamor Whitehead, known as the 'Bling Bishop,' has been sentenced to nine years in prison for financial fraud.

Charges include wire fraud, attempted extortion, and lying to the FBI.

Whitehead defrauded a parishioner of $90,000 by promising to help her buy a home but used the money for himself.

He also attempted to extort $500,000 from a businessman by falsely claiming his connections to city officials could benefit the businessman.

Despite claims of remorse, the judge criticized Whitehead's lack of meaningful remorse and noted his perjury during testimony.

In addition to the prison sentence, Whitehead must pay $85,000 in restitution and forfeit $95,000.

Whitehead's attorneys plan to appeal the sentence, with his lawyer suggesting he may suffer from PTSD from a previous robbery incident.
