Case summary

Lisa Smith was charged in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, No. 1:24-cr-00469-KMW, by a criminal information filed July 17, 2024 with one count of conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 to execute a scheme to defraud a financial institution identified as Lender-1. The information states that from about January 2021 through about December 2021 Smith and others submitted Paycheck Protection Program applications for companies with little or no operations, that Lender-1 approved more than 35 PPP loans and disbursed almost $5,000,000 to those companies, and that Smith received a portion of the proceeds. A forfeiture allegation under 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2) accompanies the count. The page also carries a plea agreement and a consent judgment and order of forfeiture, both filed July 17, 2024, whose text is not extractable; no sentence appears on the page.
