$432,051 in U.S. currency, entered October 25, 2023 under 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c) and Rule 32.2, with the order providing that it may be amended to forfeit additional specific property when identified.

What happened on supervised release?

Fabricated tax forms behind the Good Family loans

When Arashio Harris pleaded guilty, he admitted that in April 2020, working with an associate, he filed a fraudulent EIDL application for his company, The Good Family Property Solutions Inc. It claimed $130,000 in gross revenue and nine employees over the prior 12 months. The SBA sent back a $9,000 advance and $14,500 in loan proceeds. In July 2020, Harris claimed in a PPP application that Good Family had 10 employees and $51,710 in monthly payroll. He backed it with a fabricated 2019 IRS Form 1120 showing more than $1,050,000 in income and more than $768,000 in wages, plus a fraudulent Form 944 and fake W-2s and payroll records.
