前美国国际开发署雇员骗取逾17.6万美元疫情救助金 被判监禁6个月
美国司法部马里兰区联邦检察官办公室公布，一名前美国国际开发署（USAID）雇员因骗取疫情救助金被判入狱。现年56岁、住在马里兰州 Waldorf 的 Simeon Bakare 被联邦地区法官 Theodore D. Chuang 判处6个月联邦监禁，其后3年监管释放，其中包括2个月居家拘留；法官同时下令没收17.6万美元，并支付17.6万美元赔偿。
Bakare 于2026年6月3日就一项电信诈骗罪认罪。据其认罪协议，2020年4月至2021年11月间，Bakare 蓄意实施一项诈骗美国小企业局（SBA）的计划，提交或指使他人提交多份虚假的薪资保护计划（PPP）与经济伤害灾难贷款（EIDL）申请，并把贷款收益存入由他控制的银行账户。
为实施诈骗，Bakare 在申请中使用伪造文件，包括虚假的国税局 Schedule C 表格，以及关于独资企业存在的虚假陈述。他一共提交了五份虚假贷款申请，以取得 PPP 与 EIDL 收益及贷款豁免。
认罪协议显示，Bakare 在申请中列名的企业都没有像样的雇员、办公场所、营收、销货成本或实际经营活动。他承认把 PPP 与 EIDL 款项用于买车、住房付款与日常食品开支等不当个人用途。
马里兰区联邦检察官 Kelly O. Hayes 与美国国际开发署监察长办公室代理特别探员主管 Eduardo Santos 公布了上述判决。此案由联邦助理检察官 Joseph Wenner 与 Tanya Kapoor 起诉。司法部表示，此案属于特朗普政府打击诈骗工作的一部分。

Former USAID Employee Sentenced to Six Months in Prison for More Than $176,000 in CARES Act Fraud
A former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employee has been sentenced to federal prison for a scheme that illegally obtained more than $176,000 in COVID-19 pandemic relief funds, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland announced. Simeon Bakare, 56, of Waldorf, Maryland, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang to six months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, including two months of home detention, on a wire fraud charge. Judge Chuang also ordered Bakare to forfeit $176,000 and to pay $176,000 in restitution.
Bakare pleaded guilty on June 3, 2026, to wire fraud in connection with the scheme. According to his guilty plea, beginning in April 2020 and continuing until November 2021, Bakare knowingly engaged in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). He admitted that he submitted, or caused the submission of, multiple fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) applications, and caused PPP and EIDL benefits to be deposited into bank accounts he controlled.
In furthering the scheme, Bakare used fabricated documents in support of the applications, including fraudulent IRS Schedule C forms and false attestations regarding the existence of sole proprietorships. He submitted five false loan applications to obtain PPP and EIDL benefits, along with loan forgiveness.
None of the businesses Bakare listed on the applications had significant employees, office space, revenues, costs of goods sold, or business operations. He admitted that he used the proceeds for improper personal purposes, such as car and housing payments, along with grocery costs.
U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes announced the sentence with Acting Special Agent in Charge Eduardo Santos of the USAID Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Wenner and Tanya Kapoor prosecuted the case. The Justice Department said the prosecution is part of the Trump Administration's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
