Texas Couple Convicted in $25M Pyramid Scheme
Faith Facts
- Marlon and Lashonda Moore were found guilty of defrauding over 10,000 investors through a pyramid scheme called “Blessings in No Time.”
- The scam targeted the vulnerable by promising quick, large returns and exploited trust within the African American community.
- The Moores face up to 20 years in prison for conspiracy and wire fraud after deceiving people out of more than $25 million.
Integrity is foundational to Christian living, and violating the trust of neighbors for personal gain undermines both community and faith.
This case is a sober reminder of the need for discernment and truth in all dealings, especially in difficult times.
“This was my first encounter with gifting circles, I am ashamed I believed them.”
“I brought in 6 of my family members.”
“BINT used all 6 people & said they would return ‘my fires’ when I needed them to ensure that I was blessed out.”
“That never happened.”
“… Total family loss = $32K, of that, I lost $15,650 between my own spots & family I sponsored.”
“… Why would I believe they would give a refund?”
“I believed we’d get a refund due to the heavily documented refund guarantees from BINT founders & staff.”
Fraud not only creates financial hardship but erodes the bonds that hold our communities together, violating the Biblical command to love and treat one another justly.
As Christians, we are called to stand for truth, support one another with honesty, and seek justice in the marketplace and beyond.
