U.S. Pastor Indicted For Defr@uding Church Members Of $13 Million After Claiming God Chose Them To Fund His Business

Cristian Popescu, a 46-year-old pastor from Bothell, Washington, has been indicted for allegedly defr@uding members of his church of $13 million through a f@ke business investment scheme.

According to federal prosecutors, Popescu, who leads Passion for Christ, a Christian congregation in Kirkland, allegedly told investors that God had chosen them to fund his business, Followone Inc., a Bellevue-based startup he presented as an e-commerce platform and social network.

Prosecutors said he fabricated claims about the company’s revenue, stock value and plans for a Nasdaq listing to attract about 30 investors. At one point, he allegedly claimed the company was worth $1.4 billion, despite knowing it had little or no value.

Popescu allegedly promised investors board positions in exchange for $1 million investments and encouraged some to withdraw money from their retirement accounts and their children’s college savings. One victim reportedly transferred nearly $1 million in a single transaction.

Investigators alleged that he used shell companies and f@ke invoices to divert investors’ funds for personal benefit, including transferring more than $4.5 million into accounts belonging to himself, his wife and family members. He also allegedly paid himself more than $1 million in wages between 2017 and 2024 and placed his wife on a payroll for about $300,000 despite her allegedly never working for the company.

When investors demanded their money back, Popescu allegedly told them they were “dem%nically possessed.”

He faces 10 counts of wire fr@ud and five counts of money l@undering. He was arraigned in a U.S. District Court in Seattle and released under electronic monitoring.

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for each wire fr@ud count and up to 10 years for each money l@undering count, alongside possible fines. His trial is scheduled for December 21.
