“Bleach Church” Family Guilty Of COVID Cure Scam

Miami’s ABC affiliate reports:

A Florida man and his three sons were convicted on federal fraud charges Wednesday for marketing a poisonous bleach concoction as a cure for 95% of the world’s diseases, including COVID-19. Mark Grenon, 65, and his sons, 37-year-old Jonathan, 35-year-old Joseph and 29-year-old Jordan, were all charged with conspiring to defraud the U.S. and deliver misbranded drugs.

The Grenons represented themselves but declined to make opening statements. All four men, who appeared in court rocking a much different look, including long beards and waist-length hair, mostly sat in silence and said nothing during the trial.
