Defendants

CourtListener keeps a separate docket for each defendant under this docket number. Their filings are merged into the docket below; each row names the CourtListener docket it came from.

19 to 49 employees claimed, 12 to 30 months imposed

According to the charges, the Mosleys prepared fraudulent loan applications on behalf of Wilborn's, Boren's, and Conway's companies. Each one certified 19 to 49 employees and about $150,000 to $430,000 in monthly payroll for businesses that had no payroll expenses at all. The charges also accused a sixth defendant, Kenya Ellis of Los Angeles, of using a different company, Global Processor Inc. (Source: Former IRS Revenue Officer, Along With Five Others, Charged In Alleged Multi-Million Dollar COVID-Fraud Scheme.)

In her plea agreement, Ellis admitted falsely claiming to own that company and using the claim to obtain nearly $300,000 in PPP and other pandemic-relief funds. In sentences announced in May 2024, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín gave the Mosley brothers 30 months in prison each, Wilborn 18 months, Boren and Conway 12 months and one day each, and Ellis 12 months.
