THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY CHARGES:

       At times relevant to this Information:

                              The Defendant and Coconspirators

       1.      The Defendant, LORI HAMMOND, a/k/a Lori McCracken, a/k/a Lori Blakely,

(“LORI HAMMOND”) was a citizen of the United States and resident of South Carolina.

       2.      Catherine (“Cassie”) Needham (“Needham”), charged elsewhere, was a citizen of

the United States and resident of South Carolina.

       3.      Christopher Conrad (“Conrad”), charged elsewhere, was a citizen of the United

States and resident of South Carolina.

       4.      Jontrell Wright (“Wright”), charged elsewhere, was a citizen of the United States

and a resident of South Carolina.

                       Background on the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)

       5.      The United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) was an executive

branch agency of the United States government that provided support to entrepreneurs and small

businesses. The mission of the SBA was to maintain and strengthen the nation’s economy by

enabling the establishment and viability of small businesses and by assisting in the economic
    2:22-cr-00454-DCN          Date Filed 05/25/22         Entry Number 1        Page 2 of 16




recovery of communities after disasters. As part of this effort, the SBA enabled and provided for

loans through banks, credit unions, and other lenders. These loans have government-backed

guarantees.

       6.      The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act is a federal

law enacted in or around March 2020 designed to provide emergency financial assistance to the

millions of Americans who were suffering the economic effects caused by the COVID-19

pandemic. One source of relief provided by the CARES Act was the authorization of up to $349

billion in forgivable loans to small businesses for job retention and certain other expenses through

a program referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). In or around April 2020,

Congress authorized over $300 billion in additional PPP funding.

       7.      The PPP allowed qualifying small businesses and other organizations to receive

PPP loans. Businesses were required to use PPP loan proceeds on payroll costs, interest on

mortgages, rent, and utilities. The PPP allowed the interest and principal on the PPP loan to be

entirely forgiven if the business spent the loan proceeds on these expense items within a designated

period of time and used a certain percentage of the PPP loan proceeds on payroll expenses.

       8.      The amount of a PPP loan that a small business may be entitled to receive was

determined by the number of employees employed by the business and the business’s average

monthly payroll costs.

       9.      In order to obtain a PPP loan, a qualifying business was required to submit a PPP

loan application, which was signed by an authorized representative of the business. The PPP loan

application required the business (through its authorized representative) to acknowledge the

program rules and make certain affirmative certifications in order to be eligible to obtain the PPP

loan. In the PPP loan application, the small business (through its authorized representative) had



                                            Page 2 of 16
    2:22-cr-00454-DCN          Date Filed 05/25/22           Entry Number 1      Page 3 of 16




to state, among other things, its: (a) average monthly payroll expenses; and (b) number of

employees. These figures were used to calculate the amount of money the small business was

eligible to receive under the PPP. In addition, businesses applying for a PPP loan had to provide

documentation showing their payroll expenses.

       10.     The provisions of the CARES Act, in conjunction with an officially declared

disaster by the United States Government, also allowed for the SBA to provide Economic Injury

Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) funding to business owners negatively affected by the COVID-19

pandemic. The SBA Office of Disaster Assistance (“ODA”) controls the EIDL program and

maintains authority over all loans created and disbursed under the EIDL program. Pursuant to the

provisions governing the EIDL program, loan proceeds must be used by the business to pay certain

permissible expenses. The EIDL loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,

and other bills that could have been paid had the COVID-19 disaster not occurred.

       11.     The PPP loan application requires the business (through its authorized

representative) to acknowledge the program rules and answer a series of questions in order to be

eligible to obtain the PPP loan, to include the following:

             a. Within the last 5 years, for any felony, has the Applicant (if an individual) or any
                owner of the Applicant 1) been convicted; 2) pleaded guilty; 3) pleaded nolo
                contendere; 4) been placed on pretrial diversion; or 5) been placed on any form
                of parole or probation (including probation before judgment)?
     Above this question, the application states that if the answer is “Yes,” the loan will not be

     approved.

       12.     In the PPP loan application, the small business (through its authorized

representative) must state, among other things, its: (a) average monthly payroll expenses; and (b)

number of employees. These figures are used to calculate the amount of money the small business

is eligible to receive under the PPP. In addition, businesses applying for a PPP loan must provide

documentation showing their payroll expenses. Applicants must acknowledge the following by

initialing next to each statement:

             a. The Applicant was in operation on February 15, 2020 and had employees for
                whom it paid salaries and payroll taxes or paid independent contractors, as
                reported on Form(s) 1099-MISC
             b. The funds will be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage
                interest payments, lease payments and utility payments as specified under the PPP
                Rule; I understand that if the funds are knowingly used for unauthorized purposes,
                the federal government may hold me legally liable, such as for charges of fraud.
       13.     The SBA oversees the PPP. However, a PPP loan application must be processed by

a participating financial institution, most commonly, banks and credit unions (the lender). If a PPP

loan application is approved, the lender funds the PPP loan using its own monies, which are 100%

guaranteed by Small Business Administration (SBA). Data from the application, including

information about the borrower, the total amount of the loan, and the listed number of employees,

is transmitted by the lender to the SBA in the course of processing the loan.

       14.     PPP loan proceeds must be used by the business on certain permissible expenses -

payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The PPP allows the interest and principal

on the PPP loan to be entirely forgiven if the business spends the loan proceeds on these expense

items within a designated period of time (usually eight weeks of receiving the proceeds) and uses

at least 75% of the PPP loan proceeds on payroll expenses.

                                     Overview of the Scheme

       31.     From in or around June 2020 through a date unknown to the United States Attorney

but up to at least January 2021, LORI HAMMOND caused multiple materially fraudulent PPP

loan applications to be submitted to federally insured financial institutions on behalf of herself and

her associates, Needham, Conrad, and Wright, to obtain PPP funds. In these applications, LORI

HAMMOND used the identity of a deceased individual, misrepresented the number of employees

and payroll expenses of the entities seeking the loans, attached fraudulent tax documents, and made

numerous other false and misleading statements.

       32.     LORI HAMMOND assisted Needham, Conrad, and Wright by filling out PPP

loan application documents containing materially false and fraudulent information and submitting

them to a Confidential Source “CS”. CS would then submit the fraudulent loan applications to

financial institutions approved to loan funds to eligible borrowers under the terms of the PPP, in

exchange for a fee. All of the loan applications LORI HAMMOND submitted on behalf of

Needham, Conrad, and Wright contained false and fraudulent information about the number of

employees and corresponding payroll expenses.

       33.     Based on the false and fraudulent representations and submissions in the PPP loan

applications and other supporting documentation submitted by LORI HAMMOND, Needham,

Conrad, and Wright, with LORI HAMMOND’s assistance and direction, the approved PPP

lenders funded the PPP loans.

       34.     After the PPP loan funds were deposited into the respective accounts, LORI

HAMMOND, Needham, Conrad, and Wright used the funds for non-qualifying, non-business-

related purposes, in violation of the terms of the PPP loan program.

HAMMOND, and others known and unknown to the United States Attorney, did transmit and

caused to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate

commerce, writings, signs, signals, pictures and sounds for the purpose of executing the scheme

and artifice, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343;

of the entities seeking the loans, attached fraudulent tax documents, and made numerous other

false and misleading statements.

                                 Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343)

                                        The Scheme to Defraud

       40.     The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 34, 38 and 39 of this Information

are incorporated herein by reference.

       41.     That beginning in or about May 2020, and continuing until in or about January

2021, in the District of South Carolina and elsewhere, the Defendant, LORI HAMMOND, and

others known and unknown to the United States Attorney, knowingly devised a scheme and artifice

to defraud and to obtain money and property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses,

representations and promises, and during such period, knowingly transmitted and caused to be

transmitted in interstate commerce, by means of wire communications, certain electronic signals,

for the purpose of executing the scheme and artifice to defraud, in violation of Title 18, United

States Code, Section 1343.

                   Manner and Means of the Scheme and Artifice to Defraud

       42.     It was part of the scheme that LORI HAMMOND electronically submitted a PPP

loan application to CS, who in turn submitted the application to BankVista on July 5, 2020. In the

loan application, LORI HAMMOND requested a PPP loan for Modern Muscle. According to the

loan application, Modern Muscle is located at 4413 Dorchester Road, North Charleston, SC.

Modern Muscle claimed 18 employees with a monthly payroll of $145,421.00. LORI

HAMMOND is listed as 100% owner, signed as the authorized representative, and included a

photocopy of her driver’s license as required with the application.

       43.     In the loan application, LORI HAMMOND included material fraudulent and false

representations and submissions. Specifically, LORI HAMMOND fraudulently inflated the

number of employees and the corresponding payroll expenses. At the time of the submission,

Modern Muscle was an inactive business. LORI HAMMOND submitted a false business address

for Modern Muscle and attached fraudulent tax documents to the loan application. BankVista

approved the loan application for Modern Muscle and submitted the loan application to the SBA

for funding.

       44.     On or about July 20, 2020, based on LORI HAMMOND’S fraudulent and false

representations and submissions, the U.S. Treasury or SBA approved the loan and distributed

approximately $363,500.00 in PPP loan funds to LORI HAMMOND’S personal bank account.

       45.     After LORI HAMMOND received the funds, she used the funds for non-

qualifying, non-business-related purposes, in violation of the terms of the PPP loan program,

including by purchasing a home and a vehicle, among other personal purchases.

       All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343.
