Jim Bakker was a famous minister with the Assemblies of God and a televangelist on The PLT Club. However, Bakker was discovered conning his parishioners out of millions by selling “lifetime memberships” that included access to a luxury hotel he was building. Although thousands of memberships were sold, only one five hundred-room hotel was ever built. Additionally, Bakker paid $279,000 in hush money to a female employee after she accused him and another minister of rape.
