Seth Andrew, who was also a senior advisor in the federal Office of Educational Technology under President Barack Obama, has been accused of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to a financial institution. Seth is alleged to have wrongfully acquired more than Ksh. 21.6 million ($200,000) from his school so that he could get a better deal on an apartment.
Andrew is also the former Global Director of policy and partnerships at Bridge International Academies which also operates in Kenya.
“As alleged, Seth Andrew abused his position as a founder of a charter school network to steal from the very same schools he helped create,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss in a statement.
