Con Artists Pulls Another Scam
Bahamian Neil Ellis is a religious con artist. After years of ripping off and conning fellow Bahamians, he finally hit on a surefire way to scam people... pretending he was a pastor.
The impish scam artist started his own church, appointed himself a "bishop", then proceeded to bilk old women out of their hard-earned cash. He is currently one of the richest men in the Bahamas.
Now, he's making a career out of religious fraud.
Ellis has paid some disreputable little school in the US to give him a meaningless "doctors" degree, so he can look as if he can actually read and write, which I understand he can not.
Ellis was bestowed a useless Doctorate of Divinity degree during another of his staged events on Sunday.
"Dr." Ellis was recognized by St. Thomas Christian College, Jacksonville, Fla., a little known institution that gives out degrees to anyone who will pay for them.
"Wow!" exclaimed the religious fraud who has bilked thousands of Bahamians out of their retirement funds.
Ellis, whom it is believed is provoked by Satan, mumbled some other garbage while accepting his meaningless degree, but no one paid attention.
College President Dr. Zameiko Jackson is obviouly naive, or just plain stupid, to be taken in by a con artist like Ellis.
St. Thomas Christian College should probably be investigated for money laundering. It appears that Mr. Ellis' normal avenue for laundering funds, the churches in New Orleans, were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and now he needs a new avenue through which to funnel funds.
