A televangelist rapped for selling a fake coronavirus cure has taken to
the airwaves to beg followers for cash to stop him going bankrupt. Jim
Bakker says his credit cards have been blocked after he was exposed for
touting a €˜silver solution to cure Covid-19, and told viewers he and
wife Lori face poverty without financial help.

Bakker, who runs a ministry outside Branson, Missouri, said: €˜You
cant use credit cards if you do give to our ministry at this time
because theres a situation. The fraudster, who was convicted of
multiple crimes in the late 1980s, also told viewers what the government
had told him, saying: €˜You sold products that we didnt approve of €“ but
thats not what we did.

He continued his self-pitying rant, saying: €˜SOS, save our station,
save our ship, help us stay on the air. Were asking people to give an
offering, and we need a miracle.
