He picked a religion (evangelical Christianity) that specifically praises and raises up "reformed" sinners and loves when they are at the forefront. Of course this worked out for him.

I have a family member who is a former drug dealer who wrote a book then did this. He has a lot of money. And doesn't help his family who are in similar situations to what his own was, earlier life (i.e. trying to get their lives back together).

that's so depressing. i mean, redemption is something that absolutely deserves to be celebrated, and we all have room to aspire to redeem ourselves in some area of personal failing, but for crying out loud at least try to apply a little critical thinking before you celebrate someone. "i used to steal, but now i'm an honest man! so give me your money."
