”There’s a saying that fraud is the drug of today,” Clarke said.
Lauderhill Police charged with Taylor impersonating a legitimate business, grand theft, and money laundering for allegedly setting up a scheme to hide the money the taxpayers loaned him.
Clarke started looking for Taylor when the legitimate owner of the business contacted them.
“He subsequently discovered that someone else had applied for SBA loan using his personal information and the application was for $81,200, which was approved and paid,” Clarke said. He added that Taylor had correspondence about the company diverted to him.
Clarke said Taylor moved quickly, using wire transfers and ATM withdrawals in an effort to hide the $81,000. Bank records show Taylor was busy taking out cash, making $1,000 withdrawals, one after the other. On a single day, he took out $7,000. Then the next day, he allegedly took out $5,800.
