A Nigerian man, Adedayo Ilori and his co-conspirator, Chris Recaimer have been remanded in the United States for allegedly making attempts to fraudulently obtain more than $7 million (N2.8 billion) in Government-guaranteed loans designed to provide relief to small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams and Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Cyber Investigations Office, Keith A. Bonanno, On Wednesday announced that an indictment was filed in Manhattan Federal Court, charging both Ilori and Recamier.<\/p>\n

The case was further assigned to the United States District Court Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil.<\/p>\n

The duo, in connection with loan applications for relief available from the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan, falsely represented to the Small Business Administration (\u201cSBA\u201d) and private lenders that they operated a number of companies, used stolen identities and submitted falsified tax documents.<\/p>\n

According to Williams, Ilori has made it a habit of committing loan fraud having previously faced a similar charge in a separate case involving loan and identity fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Attorney noted, “As alleged, Adedayo Ilori has made quite a habit of committing loan fraud. While previously facing similar charges in a separate case involving loan and identity fraud \u2013 to which Ilori pled guilty in April of this year \u2013 he is once again alleged to have committed similar conduct to defraud the SBA and private lenders in an attempt to steal much-needed COVID-19 financial relief<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIlori and his co-defendant, Chris Recaimer, now face criminal charges for attempting to steal over $7 million in funds specifically designated to assist small businesses struggling with financial hardships from the worldwide COVID pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bonanno noted: \u201cIlori and Recamier allegedly stole the identities of individuals and companies and fraudulently obtained over a million dollars intended to help those suffering from hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pandemic Response Accountability Committee COVID-19 Task Force is dedicated to rooting out these kinds of schemes and bringing the fraudsters to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Indictment in Manhattan federal court, the Complaint filed against Recamier on October 8, 2021, and filings made on public court dockets stated: \u201cThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (\u201cCARES\u201d) Act is a federal law enacted on March 29, 2020, designed to provide emergency financial assistance to the millions of Americans who are suffering the economic effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201dOne source of relief provided by the CARES Act was the authorization of hundreds of billions of dollars in forgivable loans to small businesses for job retention and certain other expenses through the SBA\u2019s PPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cPursuant to the CARES Act, the amount of PPP funds a business is eligible to receive is determined by the number of employees employed by the business and its average payroll costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusinesses applying for a PPP loan must provide documentation to confirm that they have previously paid employees the compensation represented in the loan application.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CARES Act also expanded the separate EIDL Program, which provides small businesses with low-interest loans of up to $2 million that can provide vital economic support to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing due to COVID-19. To qualify for an EIDL loan under the CARES Act, the applicant must have suffered \u201csubstantial economic injury\u201d from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201dFrom at least in or about August 2020 through at least in or about October 2021, Ilori and Recamier prepared to apply, and applied for numerous PPP and EIDL loans. In applying for these loans, Ilori and Recamier claimed stolen identities of third parties.<\/p>\n

\u201dIn the role of these assumed identities, Ilori and Recamier claimed full control of a number of companies, which they purported, cumulatively, employed more than 200 people and paid more than $3.2 million in monthly wages.<\/p>\n

\u201dIn reality, they did not operate these companies. In submitting these applications Ilori and Recamier, among other things, submitted falsified tax documents that were never actually filed with the Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cIlori and Recamier attempted to obtain over approximately $7.5 million in PPP and EIDL program funds, and successfully obtained more than $1 million as a result of their scheme. Ilori and Recamier transferred the majority of these funds toward (1) cryptocurrency investments, (2) the purchase of stocks, (3) cash withdrawals, and (4) personal expenses. The investment accounts were also opened by Ilori and Recamier in the stolen identities of third parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIlori committed these offenses while facing charges in a separate case filed in the Southern District of New York involving fraud, identity theft, and money laundering in United States v. Ilori, 20 Cr 378 (LJL).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of that case, Ilori pled guilty on April 8, 2021, to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, and is currently awaiting sentencing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdedayo Ilori, 42, of Queens, New York, and Chris Recamier, 58, of New York, New York, are charged with (1) major fraud against the United States, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison; (2) conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison; (3) wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison; (4) bank fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison; (5) aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory consecutive sentence of two years in prison; and (6) conspiracy to commit money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe maximum potential sentences, in this case, are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendants will be determined by the judge.\u201d<\/p>\n

This case is being handled by the Office\u2019s Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Nessim is in charge of the prosecution.<\/p>\n

The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
