This person should face charges, same IMO as the Televangelists who suckered folks out of retirement savings and pensions with the "promise of salvation".
As we know, the promises of the Televangelists are bunk as...
1) you exist (including as eternal consciousness) so you are loved, you are of Love, and you ARE love.
And 2) no one can walk your path nor "bribe your way".
They offered nothing. And you already have everything.
Even their affirmation that "we know you are saved" consciously disempowered and misdirected the old folks, whilst also impoverishing them.
Talk about bad karma...these are all great examples of that.
Peace & blessings
