伪造女儿出生证明骗取350多万美元疫情救助金 商人Biaou被判7年监禁
华盛顿 — 美国司法部哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官办公室宣布，贝宁公民、华盛顿特区居民 Jose Biaou（42岁）因诈骗疫情时期经济救助项目，2026年11月10日被联邦地区法官 Christopher R. Cooper 判处84个月监禁，另须服24个月监督释放，并赔偿3,417,542.77美元。联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 公布了这一判刑。
Biaou 是商业地产经纪公司 FRB Capital Group LLC 的创始人。2026年2月17日，联邦陪审团认定他犯有6项电信诈骗罪与1项加重身份盗窃罪。据庭审证据，他以 FRB 与另一家公司 Millenium Global Finance 的名义申请逾500万美元贷款，实际取得逾350万美元的薪资保护计划（PPP）与经济伤害灾难贷款（EIDL）资金；其中 Millenium Global Finance 并无员工与实际经营，却取得125万美元 PPP 资金。
据司法部公布，他在 EIDL 申请中冒称自己是美国公民，并用未成年女儿的出生证明伪造了一份出生证明；他还系统性虚报 FRB 的员工人数、平均月薪与办公室租金等数据，并就一笔 PPP 贷款的免还申请提交虚假材料。检察官 Pirro 表示，Biaou 的骗局建立在谎言之上，盗取紧急救助资金就是盗取美国民众的钱。
此案由美国邮政检查局华盛顿分局调查，助理联邦检察官 Sungtae Kang 负责起诉，案件编号为24cr323。

Businessman Sentenced to 7 Years for Defrauding Covid Relief Programs of More Than $3.5 Million
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced that Jose “Joe” Biaou, 42, a citizen of Benin and a resident of the District, was sentenced on November 10, 2026, by U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper to 84 months in federal prison for defrauding Covid-era economic relief programs. He was also ordered to serve 24 months of supervised release and to pay $3,417,542.77 in restitution. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced the sentence.
Biaou founded FRB Capital Group LLC, a brokerage firm for the commercial real estate industry. On February 17, 2026, a federal jury found him guilty of six counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. According to the government's evidence at trial, Biaou applied for more than $5 million in loans and received more than $3.5 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) proceeds on behalf of FRB and Millenium Global Finance, an entity with no employees or operations that nonetheless received $1.25 million in PPP funds.
In support of his EIDL applications, Biaou falsely claimed that he was a U.S. citizen and provided a counterfeit birth certificate, which he forged using a copy of his minor daughter's birth certificate. He also consistently inflated the number of FRB employees, their average monthly salaries, office rents and other financial information, and submitted false information when applying for forgiveness of one of the PPP loans. “Mr. Biaou built his scheme on lies,” Pirro said. “Stealing emergency relief funds is stealing from the American people.”
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service's Washington Division and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sungtae Kang, under case number 24cr323.
