Preacher Caught Selling
Endangered Sharks


Leopard Shark


Kevin Thompson, 48 a Preacher at the Unification church in San Leandro,

Calif has pleaded guilty to organizing a worldwide shark poaching and
smuggling ring. He could receive up to eight years in prison and fines
totaling $1 million for the scheme.
Thompson was one of six people caught buying and selling thousands of
undersized leopard sharks. He was arrested as a result of an FBI sting
operation. According to investigators, Thompson paid fisherman about $3

a piece for baby sharks they caught and then resold the sharks to
dealers for up to $35 each.
He first came to the attentions of authorities when dealers in Florida
and Illinois were caught and testified against him.
