伊利诺伊州税务代办提交1500多份虚假PPP贷款申请骗取1400万美元，被判10年监禁
2026年3月18日，美国司法部伊利诺伊州北区联邦检察官办公室宣布，在伊利诺伊州库克县 Palos Hills 担任税务代办的 Sharhabeel Shreiteh 因大规模虚假申请薪资保护计划（PPP）贷款被判刑：他已于3月10日被联邦地区法官 Martha M. Pacold 判处10年联邦监禁，并被责令没收741,000美元、向美国政府赔偿1,400万美元。
据司法部公布，2020年至2021年间，Shreiteh 招募所谓个体经营者、自雇人士与企业，向他们索取个人信息与文件，再代为提交1,500多份虚假 PPP 贷款申请，申请中虚报经营规模、工资与收入等内容，致使政府拨付至少1,400万美元虚假贷款。每办成一笔，他收取1,000至4,000美元回扣，回扣合计至少741,000美元。他把数十万美元赃款汇往巴勒斯坦地区的金融机构，其中大部分用于在当地建造第二处住宅，另有部分赃款用于装修他在伊利诺伊州 Crete 的住宅以及去南卡罗来纳州与佛罗里达州度假。
Shreiteh 此前已承认一项电信欺诈罪。量刑时法庭还查明，他在行骗的2020年至2021年间，一边领取 PPP 诈骗所得、一边做税务代办，同时申领伊利诺伊州与俄亥俄州的失业救济。Pacold 法官在量刑时说，诈骗任何政府项目都是严重罪行，何况动的是救急的疫情纾困资金、偷的是纳税人的钱。宣布判刑的有联邦检察官 Andrew S. Boutros、国税局刑事调查局芝加哥办公室负责人 Adam Jobes 与联邦调查局芝加哥外勤办公室负责人 Douglas S. DePodesta。

Illinois Tax Preparer Sentenced to 10 Years for Filing More Than 1,500 Fraudulent PPP Loan Applications Worth $14 Million
On March 18, 2026, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois announced the sentence of Sharhabeel Shreiteh, a tax preparer in Palos Hills, Cook County, Illinois, for a massive Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraud: on March 10, U.S. District Judge Martha M. Pacold sentenced him to ten years in federal prison and ordered him to forfeit $741,000 and to pay $14 million in restitution to the United States government.
According to the Justice Department, in 2020 and 2021 Shreiteh recruited purported sole proprietors, self-employed individuals, and businesses to provide their personal identifying information and other documents, and then submitted more than 1,500 fraudulent PPP loan applications on their behalf. The applications contained numerous misrepresentations inflating the applicants' operations, payroll, and income, causing the government to disburse at least $14 million in fraudulent loans. For each successful loan he received kickbacks of $1,000 to $4,000, totaling at least $741,000. He funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds to financial institutions in the Palestinian Territories, much of it used to build a second home there, and used other proceeds on renovations to his residence in Crete, Illinois, and vacations to South Carolina and Florida.
Shreiteh had pleaded guilty to a federal wire fraud charge. At sentencing, the court also found that in 2020 and 2021, while receiving PPP fraud proceeds and working as a tax preparer, he collected unemployment benefits from both Illinois and Ohio. Judge Pacold said at the hearing that fraud against any government program is a terrible and very serious offense, particularly against an emergency relief program funded by taxpayers. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros, Adam Jobes, Special Agent-in-Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation in Chicago, and Douglas S. DePodesta, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI Chicago Field Office.
