In a recent interview, ex-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick announced that he will be opening a new business, despite owing millions of dollars to the IRS and the city of Detroit. Kilpatrick recently told Deadline that he has set to launch a virtual ministry called Movemental Ministries on Jan. 20. Kilpatrick will run the business from his home state of Georgia and will conduct weekly Bible studies, Saturday services, and workshops.

This news comes as a shock to many because Kilpatrick currently owes more than $4.7 million to the IRS and the city of Detroit.
In 2013, Kilpatrick was convicted of 24 counts of felony charges and sentenced to 28 years in prison for perjury and obstruction of justice. The former Detroit mayor served 7 out of 28 years in a federal prison in Louisiana before his sentence was commuted in January of 2021 by former United States President Donald Trump and he was released.
