Peter Popoff

Peter Popoff (born July 2, 1946) is a German American televangelist and self-proclaimed prophet and faith healer. He conducts revival meetings and has a national television program. He initially rose to prominence in the 1980s. He went bankrupt in 1987 after skeptics James Randi and Alexander (Alec) Jason exposed his method of receiving information about revival attendees from his wife via an in-ear receiver. According to Fred M. Frohock, "the case of Peter Popoff is one of many egregious instances of fake healing".
