A federal judge in Miami has handed down years-long prison sentences to a Florida father and his three adult sons who were convicted in July of using a faux church to sell an industrial-strength bleaching agent as a “miracle” solution they falsely claimed could cure serious illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19.
Father Mark Grenon, 66—the patriarch of the so-called “Church of Bleach”—and one of his sons, Joseph Grenon, 36, were sentenced to 60 months in prison (five years).

Jonathan Grenon, 37, and Jordan Grenon, 29, received longer sentences of 151 months in prison (12 years and seven months), because they were convicted of contempt of court as well as conspiring to defraud the US.
