ATLANTA An Atlanta man was sentenced to two years, six months in federal prison for scamming homebuyers in Minnesota and Oregon, a New Jersey company and a Delaware law firm of more than $247,000.
Between October 2018 and February 2019, Anthony Dwayne King, 39, laundered more than $247,000, federal authorities said. He pleaded guilty to and was convicted of money laundering conspiracy on Dec. 16, 2020, authorities said.
In a federal indictment, prosecutors said the emails of victims were somehow accessed using malware in what is called a business email compromise, allowing King and his accomplices to learn about real estate transactions and redirect those payments to three bogus bank accounts that King controlled.

Georgia couple indicted in COVID-19 aid defraud scheme investigation

BRASELTON, Ga. - A federal jury has indicted an Atlanta couple accused of using fraudulent applications to defraud the government out of millions of dollars in COVID-19 aid.
Officials with the U.S. Attorney s Office say 63-year-old Paul and 60-year-old Michelle Kwak planned to submit applications for Economic Impact Disaster Loans using the names of shell companies that had no employees and no business activities.
The Kwaks are believed to be connected to 70 fraudulent applications resulting in $4 million in loans. Fraudulent applications divert the limited pool of funds Congress allocated for pandemic relief from legitimate businesses in need of assistance, said Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt R. Erskine. By defrauding the Small Business Administration, the defendants harmed hardworking business owners whom the CARES Act was intended to help.
