    An ex-con who robbed “Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead will spend less time in prison than the fraudster pastor he held up at gunpoint during a live-streamed sermon.

    Say-Quan Pollack, 25, received a seven-year sentence Monday during a hearing in Brooklyn federal court.

    Pollack pleaded guilty to sticking up Whitehead and the pastor’s wife of $400,000 during a July 2022 church service — in a stunning, caught on camera heist.

    “Pollack has been held accountable for committing a bold robbery in a house of worship with a gun, terrorizing the men, women, and children participating in the religious service that Sunday morning,” said US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace in a statement.

    In June, Whitehead was slapped with a nine-year sentence in an unrelated fraud case.

    Whitehead, who claimed Mayor Eric Adams as a friend and mentor, was found guilty in March of fraud, extortion and other crimes during a trial in which prosecutors said he scammed parishioner’s elderly mother out of $90,000 to blow on luxury goods.

    Pollack’s lawyer Gary Villanueva had tried to argue that Whitehead’s crimes should lead to a lighter sentence for the robber, but Judge William Kuntz ultimately handed down the 87 months requested by prosecutors.
