Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg faces 21 new charges
LAKE MARY, Fla. – Faced with the possibility of spending decades in prison, Joel Greenberg has entered into plea negotiations with the federal government. The one-time Seminole County Tax Collector is facing a litany of charges and decades in prison, but the investigation has not stopped with him alone.
Citing anonymous sources, the New York Times and CBS News confirm federal authorities have expanded their search into Greenberg’s web of politically connected friends and acquaintances. News 6 has reviewed hundreds of documents handed over through public record requests which reveal who Greenberg was doing business with while he was both tax collector of Seminole County and presumably living above the law.
Deloitte Consulting was among the vendors who sold Florida a $78 million unemployment compensation system that buckled and broke for many thousands of Floridians who tried to file claims after being thrown out of work by the coronavirus pandemic.
Company representatives were called to task on the system s failures in a 2-hour appearance Monday before the Florida Senate s Select Committee on Pandemic Preparedness and Response.
The bottom line: No one including Deloitte, paid $46 million, foresaw the tsunami of unemployment applications that washed over and foundered the system. It was designed to handle unemployment levels produced by the Great Recession over a decade ago – about 10% – but started crashing when the jobless rate exceeded 13%.
