Here's the thing about Gerald though.
He really, really loves money, and he quickly realizes that painting buildings isn't going to give him the kind of money he feels like he deserves.
So one day around 1993, he gets an insane idea.
What if he starts his own church?
Then he'll have his church members donate money to the church, aka him.
And so he gets a loan and he buys an old bank building and he starts his church there.
And he calls it Greater Ministries International.
And since the church is just starting out, Gerald needs to reach as many people as possible.
So he starts traveling around, going on road shows across the U.S., preaching to people.
And little by little, he builds himself a following, an audience who will listen to anything he says.
Now, starting a church and preaching to people isn't necessarily an illegal scam.
But here's where the scam comes in.
One day, he starts telling members of his congregation that his God woke him up in the middle of the night one night and gave him the idea to start a super special program.
A program that would double everyone's money who was involved.
and that his members can participate too.
And all the members have to do is gift the church some of their money and they will receive double that money back in no more than 17 months.
So I guess he's saying the Lord wants all of them to be rich.
Now, during this time, banks are offering about 3% returns on investments.
Even the stock market could average around 10% returns during this time.
So how is Gerald planning on getting 100% returns to his followers?
