Case summary
United States v. Carolyn Denise Wade, No. 0:23-cr-60173 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerns Paycheck Protection Program loan applications. An order entered January 10, 2025 records that the superseding indictment returned June 27, 2024 charged Carolyn Denise Wade and co-defendant Tracy D. Wade with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to make false statements to the SBA and making false statements to the SBA, and that on October 23, 2024, after a jury trial, both were found guilty on all counts with which they were charged. That order denied their motion for judgment of acquittal after verdict. An abridged docket filed November 17, 2025 records the disposition as to Carolyn Wade as three years' probation on each of counts 1s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s and 9s, concurrent, with two wire fraud counts dismissed.
