Michigan Pastor Lorenzo Sewell’s Cryptocurrency Promotion Sparks Outrage
Within hours of delivering a stirring benediction at President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell turned to social media to promote his newly launched cryptocurrency, X. In a video posted on Twitter, Sewell asked his followers to support his token, claiming that the funds would be used to further God’s vision on Earth.
The pastor’s plea was met with widespread criticism from the crypto community, with many labeling him a “grifter” and accusing him of using his faith to scam people. “You seem like an embarrassing fake Christian trying to grift off people,” one user wrote. “Have you no shame?” another asked.
Sewell’s actions were seen as a stark contrast to his invocation of Martin Luther King, Jr. during his benediction, with some accusing him of using his platform to further his own financial interests. “Stealing from the poor is an affront to the gospel,” one user added.
The controversy surrounding Sewell’s cryptocurrency promotion has sparked debate about the intersection of faith and finance, with some questioning the motivations behind his actions.
