## Source

**Mr. John Green** (more commonly known as **Reverend John Green**) is an American-born preacher and suspected con-artist. Born in the United States, Green received his "calling" at a young age, and began preaching preaching at revival circuits. He has traveled throughout the Continent and Africa spreading his own version of “steal from the rich, give to the poor” and encouraging his audience to help others less fortunate (like himself). During his travels he met Sir Hugh Black and the two did some "business" together. He has recently settled in England to escape the American authorities after allegations of racketeering, bribery, smuggling, money laundering and fraud came against Green.

## Biography

No one knows the true origins of the Reverend John Green, because he has told many to others, but according to certain reports, Green was born and raised in a small, impoverished farming community in Georgia to a couple of tenant farmers. Green’s father was incarcerated after being charged with stealing money from the local church. To make ends meet, his mother did laundry and told fortunes at a seedy hotel on the outskirts of town.

When the boy was twelve, John received his “calling”, and began preaching at revival circuits. For a time, the preacher had operated a travelling “tent revival” throughout the United Kingdom, the Continent, and Africa, spreading his own version of “steal from the rich, give to the poor” and encouraging his audience to help others less fortunate (like himself).

During his travels, the "Reverend" Green met Sir Hugh Black. The two quickly became acquainted and seemed to have dealings with each other, unlikely spiritual in nature. Upon Sir Hugh's passing in 1914, he bequeathed Reverend Green and the church with a monthly stipend, which was mostly blackmail money after Green caught him red-handed in an illegal business practice.

Over the past decade, American authorities had detained and questioned Green on numerous occasions about several allegations of racketeering, bribery, smuggling, money laundering and fraud. Although police have never been able to prove anything, they suspect Green may be an international swindler of sizable proportions.
