Now he can use that money to pay for his attorney and fight for his liberty.

I think he's doing time.

This is just one of many thousands of people who committed Covid fraud.

Really?

How many thousands?

One would think being a former NFL player he would have money and wouldn't need to commit fraud like this. I'm sure he's going to serve but probably not as much time as we think

Really?

How many thousands?

Below is a clip from DOJ in August 2023.....The numbers will be higher by now.



“The Justice Department has now seized over $1.4 billion in COVID-19 relief funds that criminals had stolen and charged over 3,000 defendants with crimes in federal districts across the country,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “This latest action, involving over 300 defendants and over $830 million in alleged COVID-19 fraud, should send a clear message: the COVID-19 public health emergency may have ended, but the Justice Department’s work to identify and prosecute those who stole pandemic relief funds is far from over.”

Justice Department Announces Results of Nationwide COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Action

The Justice Department announced today the results of a coordinated, nationwide enforcement action to combat COVID-19 fraud, which included 718 enforcement actions – including federal criminal charges against 371 defendants – for offenses related to over $836 million in alleged COVID-19 fraud.
