Gulfstream plea preacher Creflo Dollar faced jail over secrecy

When mega church leader Creflo Dollar wanted a new private jet he asked his parishioners to open their hearts and wallets and help foot the $65m bill.

But when it comes to his own finances, the Rev Creflo is considerably less open.

Documents obtained by Daily Mail Online show that the pastor and televangelist was threatened with prison for failing to hand over documents that would reveal the source of his income.

He was held in contempt of court - carrying the possibility of prison - during a messy divorce between boxer Evander Holyfield and his second wife.

The preacher refused to cooperate in the civil case.

A judge even wrote a personal letter to Creflo pleading with him as a 'man of God' to comply with the law.

But Creflo refused - and used every legal maneuver to get out of revealing anything to do with his finances by appealing to the Georgia Supreme Court.

8:30 This happens all over, in every church you find. Maybe to a lesser extent, but the greed is still there.
