Y'all remember the lovely Tammy Faye Bakker? Well, this is her husband.
Proof that there's always a shyster ready to bilk the gullible and the stupid.

NY AG hits Jim Bakker with cease-and-desist order over alleged coronavirus cure
March 9, 2020
New York's attorney general has ordered a prominent televangelist to stop peddling an alleged coronavirus elixir on his show.
Attorney General Letitia James’s office sent a cease-and-desist order to Jim Bakker Tuesday ordering him to stop promoting “Silver Solution” as a remedy for the coronavirus.
During a Feb. 12 episode of the “The Jim Bakker Show,” guest Sherrill Sellman claimed that Silver Solution was able to eliminate some strains of the coronavirus.
Asked if the Silver Solution would be effective against the COVID-19 coronavirus, Sellman replied, "Let's say it hasn't been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it's been tested on other strains of the coronavirus and it has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours."
However the World Health Organization has warned that there is currently no treatment for the novel coronavirus, and the Centers for Disease Control says there is no known cure for other coronavirus variants that cause SARS and MERS.
Bakker was convicted in 1989 on multiple counts of fraud after he stole millions of dollars in a fundraising scandal. He spent five years in prison before returning to TV in 2003.
