Church Leader Arrested For Selling Miracle Cure To Followers, Turned Out It Was Just Bleach

Daily Mail - A Florida man and his three adult sons have been sentenced for selling a toxic industrial bleach as a fake COVID-19 cure through their online church

Dad Mark Grenon, 66, and son Joseph, 36, each received five years while Jonathan, 37, and Jordan, 29, were sentenced to up to 12 years behind bars

The Grenons pitched their so-called Miracle Mineral Solution as a cure for 95% of known diseases, including COVID-19, Alzheimer’s, autism, AIDS and MS

Who would have thought a miracle drug being sold over the internet by a man running a fake church would in fact not cure 95% of all known diseases. You would have thought Mark Grenon of the Genesis II Chuch of Health and Healing was a trustworthy guy. Does this look like the face of liar to you?

There are so many people in the world, specifically on the internet, who do things (more specifically fall for things) that I will never understand. Like the guys who pay girls to deplete their bank account in order to get off. Or people who's finances are tied up in Bored Apes. Or million dollar bettors who pay $100,000 for Stu Feiner's CFB Season Pass.

None of it makes sense. How do these people walk around every day. How can they simultaneously be so incredibly dumb, yet somehow have managed to make it to adulthood without accidently wandering out into the middle of a busy intersection and being pulverized by a garbage truck. 

Maybe I'm the sucker for not taking advantage of these people. I have a small following now. There has to be a rich moron or two amongst my 40k Twitter followers. Maybe I should be selling my picks. I could cook up a miracle potion out of tea leaves. Claim that it increases your brain power, sex drive, and makes you have good tweets. If I can get my potion in front of the right audience I'm sure I could bank a quick $10k. 

But I shouldn't victim shame the people who purchased this miracle bleach. I'm sure a number of people who bought the MMM solution were simply desperate for a cure to save themselves or a loved one. Especially for a disease like Alzheimer's which is the saddest thing in fucking world and there's just nothing you can do about it. I don't want to shame them. The Bored Ape people though… 

I'm trying to decide how much this Mark Grenon character knew what he was doing. We can't entirely rule out the possibility that he's equally as dumb as his followers. There's a non-zero chance that Mark truly believed drinking bleach was a legitimate method of killing disease. Maybe he thought he was a real life scientist on the verge of saving humanity.

It's either that or he's just pure evil. Because if he simply wanted to scam, he could have just as easily sold his followers a cure made out of ANYTHING other than chemicals that will kill your insides. He at least could have put some good drugs in there along with the death juice. Perhaps a dollop of heroin or something that they could make his follower's slow death slightly more enjoyable. 

I did take a gander at the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing Facebook page. There was a major red flag. The church appears to have relied heavily on memes. You can never trust a church that memes. Especially churches that use vaguely threatening "God wants you to keep your mouth shut" memes.

The moment your religious leader is urging you to stay quiet, it's time to hightail it out of there like Carl Lewis. Ask anybody who's survived a cult. Or anybody who's dabbled in the Catholic church. If you're being told to keep quiet, something bad is happening. So I'm pretty this guy was pure evil. Despite his very convincing posts.
