A Christian financial planner endorsed by Donald Trump’s evangelical advisor Robert Jeffress has been indicted on Ponzi scheme charges after allegedly stealing millions from senior citizens.

Religion News Network reported Thursday that W. Neil “Doc” Gallagher, age 78, allegedly stole more than $19 million from senior citizens who heard his paid radio broadcasts in Texas.

The day prior to his March 8 arrest, the Securities and Exchange Commission claimed Gallagher ran a “classic Ponzi scheme” in a complaint filed against him and two of his companies, the report noted.

In the scheme alleged by the SEC, Gallagher “continually signed up new investors and used their money to make monthly disbursements to earlier investors,” telling the senior citizens who gave him their money that those payments “were the profits generated through his surefire management of their retirement portfolios,” RNS reported.

2. Totally and completely unsurprising.

Jeez, would you just look at that creep's mug shot? Try him, convict him, and throw away the key.

[Power 2 the People]

3. They truly have no shame.

The Republican way. Using they're obviously fake belief in Jesus and his words to bilk every last dollar out of anybody they can.

6. Christian Financial Planner. I don't know what that even means

other than another angle to vacuum up funds from the unwary. These creeps are all the same - from this guy to the one in our White House - the only difference is in the volume of suckage.

[dalton99a]

10. "God wants me to take your money"

[erronis]

11. Right. What would Jesus do with your money? Give it to the poor or put it somewhere safe for a

"resurrection." You know, fake a death, roll back a stone, and go off with some Mary or another for a great new life.

Of course no one believes the real Jesus would be a con man like these so-called xians.

[erronis]

13. And a "licensed" one? Licensed to steal? Just like the pastors of the flox.

[bitterross]

19. It means "Watch your wallet!"

Anytime a business introduces it's self as Christian you better watch out for the scam and cheating. I remember how the Christian Schools always played dirtiest in sports in high school.

[Scarsdale]

7. He looks like Pence.

Top photo "Oh, NO. Mother caught me watching porn" Bottom photo "All cleaned up, ready for church and more suckers to fleece" Wanna bet he got none of Jeffress' cash?

[bluestarone]

9. Evangelicals are easy marks.

Look who they vote for.

[erronis]

14. Look who they believe in.... when it's convenient.

I absolutely love preaching to this choir!

[chwaliszewski]

12. Thoughts and prayers.

15. Trusting Your Money With Evangelicals Is Like Trusting Your Young Sons With Priests!

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Lock him up! Swindling bastard

[CanonRay]

17. Is there any creature on Earth more gullible than an Evangelical Christian?

Watch a few American Greed episodes....it's One after another

[Initech]

21. The only god they worship is the almighty dollar.

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. Who would buy investment products from a guy named "Doc?"

It's only slightly less sketchy than "Lefty" or "Noodles."

[sinkingfeeling]

20. How very Christian.

[NBachers]

22. So how many man- and woman- years of working, scrimping, and saving does that represent?

How many lifetimes siphoned away?

[Pepsidog]

23. Haha

[Hotler]

24. Is that his"in prayer" look.?.......nt

[dlk]

25. Often When Someone Adds "Christian" in Front of their Job Title...

...the word, “Grifter” could be used interchangeably.

[zentrum]

26. Mug shot looks like

....a cross between Roger Stone and Trump.

What a gang of absolute users and parasites the country has fallen prey to.

[Girard442]

27. Didn't Jesus scourge the financial planners out of the Temple?

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Jesus has nothing to do with the yahoos that we're talking about

More importantly, they'll have nothing to do with him!

[ck4829]

33. +1, these are the people Jesus kicked out of the temple, now they're back

[lordsummerisle]

28. That first photo

is absolutely creepy. The mouth downturn is almost comical...

[Vogon_Glory]

29. So I am thinking that a self-blinded pastor

has willingly opened the gate to let a wolf prey upon his sheep.

[ooky]

30. Man. Do all Republicans steal?

Sure seems like it.

[SWBTATTReg]

31. All of these crooks all seem to rotate in rump's orbit somehow...what do they have, a newsletter...

advertising their thieving or stealing skills to each other or what?
