Cult Leader’s Bingo Charity Scam

Cult Leader’s Bingo Charity Scam
Rocco Leo, doomsday prophet leader sets up an operation to raise money in a European bingo scheme. After his compound was raided in 2010 in South Australia all assets were frozen including millions from 10 different bank accounts, a fleet of automobiles and eight properties.

In the Agape cult he formerly operated, he told his followers of a 2012 apocalypse, where the entire world would be implanted with microchips and anyone who refused would be killed by authorities of the government.

Money was extorted from his followers to buy an island in Vanuatu where a new life could begin for this cult. It has been reported by family members that girls as young as 6 to 8 years old were promised marriage to adults in the cult and firearms were stockpiled.

After the raid, Leo was exiled to Fuji. He then raised charity funds in Ticino adding up to $198,000 in one of largest organizations in the bingo industry. According to the Daily Mail a thorough investigation exposed the South Pacific Charity he co-founded with a Switzerland-based entrepreneur and former parishioner. The White Ministries website was set up featuring images of Leo in local hospitals and the pastor who had used his healing powers on Fijians.
