Convicted fraudster Lamor Whitehead, better known as the “Bling Bishop” of Brooklyn, was ordered to jail on Monday for violating the terms of his pre-sentencing bond. Whitehead, whose nickname comes from his affinity for flashy jewelry, expensive suits and luxury cars, was remanded to federal custody on May 20 by Judge Lorna G. Schofield of the Southern District of New York, a spokesperson for SDNY confirmed. The spokesperson, Nicholas Biase, said Whitehead was jailed because the attempted extortion charge he was convicted of was “considered a crime of violence for [the] purposes of bail.” Click here to read more on AMNY.com.
