                                      INDICTMENT

THE GRAND JURY CHARGES THAT:

                                 Introduction and Background

      At all times relevant to this Indictment:

  The Small Business Administration/The CARES Act/Economic Injury Disaster Loans

      1.       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

recovery of communities after disasters.

      2.       As part of this effort, the SBA enabled and provided for loans through banks, credit

unions and other lenders. These loans had government-backed guarantees. In addition to

traditional SBA funding programs, The CARES Act, which was signed into law in March 2020,

established several new temporary programs and provide for the expansion of others to address

the COVID-19 pandemic.

      3.       One of these new programs was the expansion of an existing disaster relief program

– the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) – to provide for loan assistance (including

$10,000.00 advances) for small businesses. The EIDL proceeds could be used to pay fixed debts,

payroll, accounts payable, and other bills associated with the small business that could have been

paid had the disaster not occurred; however, such loans proceeds were not intended to replace lost

sales or profits or for the expansion of the business.




                                                  2


           Case 2:22-cr-04013-BCW Document 1 Filed 02/08/22 Page 2 of 15
      4.       Unlike other types of SBA-guaranteed loans, EIDL funds were issued directly from

the United States Department of Treasury and applicants applied through the SBA via an online

portal and application. Through the online portal, EIDL applicants submitted personal and

business information in support of each EIDL application, but were not re quired to submit any

supporting or substantiating documentation with their application.

      5.       An EIDL application included a paragraph where the applicant affirmed that the

information submitted was true and correct under penalty of law and acknowledged that false

information might result in criminal sanctions. The application process involved filling out data

fields relating to the size of the affected business entity, the ownership of the business, the number

of employees working for the business, and gross business revenues realized in the 12 months

prior to the impact of COVID-19 on the national economy. The business must have existed in an

operational condition on or before February 1, 2020.

      6.       The EIDL application information submitted by the applicant was used by the SBA

to calculate the amount of money the business was eligible to receive in the form of a loan. In

addition to the loan and EIDL applicant could click on and check a box on the application to

request an EIDL Advance of up to $10,000.00 based on the number of employees of the business.

The EIDL Advance did not have to be repaid.

                         Cash App (Formally Known as Square Cash)

      7.       Cash App (formally Square Cash) was a mobile payment service developed by

Block Inc. that allowed users to transfer money (“Cash App”). Cash App allowed users to conduct

banking, investments, peer-to-peer money transfers and cryptocurrency transactions. Account

users were limited in the amounts they could send or receive depending on whether the user was


                                                 3

verified. An unverified user account could only send $250/week and receive $1000/month. A

verified user account could send $7,500.00/week with no limit on funds that could be received.

To verify an account, a user was required to submit the user’s legal name, date of birth, and the

last four digits of the user’s social security number. As for banking, this service allowed users to

send, receive, and store money. Users could transfer money out of the Cash App to any local

bank account. Cash App charged a 2.75% fee to transfer money to a bank account.
