FBI successes
So many threads here trashing the FBI.
Below is a success story.
Agents from the U.S. Marshals Service took custody of fugitives Richard Ayvazyan and Marietta Terabelian at the airport in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, local police said.
The FBI discovered they were in Montenegro when Ayvazyan tried to withdraw funds from one of the bank accounts he had set up for a fake business in the COVID scam.
With six accomplices, they applied for 151 loans to mainly sham businesses in the San Fernando Valley, using fictitious payrolls and forged tax returns to secure loans in a scam that yielded $18 million in COVID relief funds.
The Justice Department has charged more than 1,500 people in COVID fraud cases that total more than $1.1 billion.
