Money laundering charges were issued to three individuals. The money laundering charges stem from loans that they allegedly obtained fraudulently via the Small Business Administration. These loans were meant to help small businesses as Covid-19 and the pandemic hit the state. The three allegedly obtained $10,000 in loans for companies that did not exist. One defendant is being charged with Money Laundering, Tampering with Records, Forgery, Theft by Deception, Criminal Attempt, and Conspiracy. The other two defendants are charged with Conspiracy and Money Laundering.
