Greater Ministries International (GMI) is a Central Florida-based “church” run by anti-government extremists who, for much of the 1990's, ran a massive pyramid investment scheme, cloaked in Christian rhetoric, that took in hundreds of millions of dollars from thousands of naive and/or greedy investors. In 2001 its main leaders were convicted on numerous charges, and received prison sentences ranging from 13 to 27 years.
