Feds Spotlight Miami As Capital Of COVID-19 And Benefits Fraud
Miami Herald (FL)
Feds have uncovered several COVID-19 and benefits fraud cases in Miami.
A year ago, Congress agreed to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on benefits for small businesses and employees devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.
Of course, the government s handout helped the struggling economy. But it also opened the door for a menagerie of con artists to fleece the federal relief program to get rich quick.
Among them: a South Florida man alleged to have bought a Lamborghini for $318,000 with millions in COVID-19 relief loans; a Broward County tax preparer who purportedly pocketed huge commissions for filing $28 million worth of phony business loan applications; and a former NFL player from Miami accused of stealing people s identities to collect $300,000 in unemployment insurance benefits.
