7, Exploiting sick people. The Christian Post reports that Christine Daniel,
a former doctor and ordained Pentecostal minister, was sentenced to 14
years in prison and told to pay over $1.2 million in damages to people
she conned into believing that her herbal supplements would cure them of
cancer. Daniel hawked her fake cancer cure on Trinity Broadcasting
Network’s “Praise the Lord” program, and was found to have done things
like telling a patient who still had full-blown breast cancer that she
was cured. Authorities claim that at least one patient of Daniel’s would
have lived if she had gotten proper medical treatment instead of
relying on Daniel’s snake oil.
