TV mega-preacher Creflo Dollar, one of several high-profile ministers being accused of fleecing their flocks to finance their lavish lifestyles, is being sued by a California businessman who says the pastor stole his business idea of charging followers a monthly fee for devotional text messages.
Also named in the lawsuit are Dollar's son, Jeremy, whom the plaintiff, Devone Lawson, alleges reneged on the deal, pilfered his trade secrets and launched "Word on the Go" three years ago.
The suit claims breach of agreements and contract, fraud, misrepresentation, interference and misappropriation of trade secrets.
