                      The Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP")

                 J.   The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES")

 Act was a federal law enacted in or around March 2020 designed to provide

 emergency financial assistance to millions of Americans suffering· 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 t o small businesses for

 job retention and certain other expenses, through a program referred to as the PPP.

 In or around April 2020, Congress authorized over $300 billion in additional PPP

 funding.

                 k.   To obtain a PPP loan, a qualifying business had 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 to be eligible to obtain the PPP loan. In the PPP loan application, the

  small business, through its authorized representative, had to state, among other

  things, its average monthly payroll expenses and 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 include

  documentation showing their payroll expenses and other information as part of the

  application.

                 1.   A PPP loan application had to be processed by a participating

  lender. If a PPP loan application was approved, the participating lender would fund

  the PPP loan using its own moneys, which were 100% guar anteed by the U.S. Small

                                            4

 Business Administration ("SBA"). Data from the application, including information

 about the borrower, the total amount of the loan, monthly payroll information, and

 the listed number of employees, was transmitted by the lender to the SBA in the

 course of processing the loan.

              m.     PPP loan proceeds had to be u sed by the business on certain

 permissible expenses including 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 after receiving the proceeds and used a certain amount of the PPP

 loan proceeds on payroll expenses.

             The Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") Program

              n.     The EIDL program was an SBA program that provided low-

 interest financing to sm all businesses, renter s, and homeowners in regions affected

 by declared disasters.

              o.     The CARES Act authorized the SBA to provide EIDLs of up to $2

 million to eligible small businesses experiencing substantial financial disruption due

 to the COVID-19 pandemic.

              p.     To obtain an EIDL, a qualifying business had to submit an

  application to the SBA and provide information about its operations, such as the

  number of employees, gross 1·evenues, and cost of goods sold in the 12 months

  preceding J anuary 31, 2020. The amount of the EIDL was determined based, in part,

  on the information the applicant provided regarding the revenue, employees, and cost

  of goods of the company. The SBA directly issued any funds disbursed under an EIDL

                                           6
Case 3:23-cr-00320-MAS      Document 92      Filed 09/19/24    Page 6 of 27 PageID: 492




 to the applicant company. A company could use EIDL funds for payroll expenses, sick

 leave, production costs, and business obligations, such as debts, r ent, and mortgage

 payments. If an applicant also obtained a loan under the PPP, the applicant company

 was prohibited from using EIDL funds for the same purpose as the PPP funds.

                            The Bank Fraud Conspiracy

        2.     From a t least as early as in or around April 2020 through in or around

 April 2021, in the District of New J ersey a nd elsewhere, defendants

                               JEAN E. RABBITT and
                                 KEVIN AGUILAR

  did knowingly and intentionally conspire and agr ee with each other and others to

  execute and attempt to execute a scheme and artifice to defraud a financial

  institution, including the Lenders, and to obtain any of the moneys, funds, credits,

  assets, securities, and other property owned by, and under the control of, a financial

  institution, by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and

  promises, contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1344.

                             The Goal of the Conspiracy

        3.     The goal of the conspiracy was for RABBITT and AGUILAR to obtain

  lucrative PPP loans by causing the submission to the Lenders of materially

  fraudulent applications and then diverting the loan proceeds for their personal use.

                       Manner and Means of the Conspiracy

        4.     It was part of the conspiracy that:




                                            6
Case 3:23-cr-00320-MAS      Document 92       Filed 09/19/24     Page 7 of 27 PageID: 493




              a.     Starting in or around April 2020, RABBITT and AGUILAR

 agreed to obtain multiple PPP loans from Lenders based on false and fraudulent

 pretenses, r epresentations, and promises.

              b.     Specifically, beginning in or around April 2020, RABBITT and

 AGUILAR caused PPP applications to be submitted to the Lenders on behalf of the

 Borrower    Companies. The applications contained several materially false

  statements, including that the Borrower Companies: (i) had dozens of employees for

 whom they paid wages and payroll taxes; (ii) needed the PPP loans to support thei1·

  ongoing business oper ations; and (iii) would use the PPP loans to retain workers and

  maintain payroll or make certain covered mortgage interest payments, lease

  payments, and utility payments .

               c.    RABBITT      and   AGUILAR       also     caused   materially   false

  documentation to be submitted t o support the fraudulent PPP loan applications. That

  false documentation included fraudulent payroll and tax documents purporting to

  substantiate the applications' claims that the Borrower Companies had a substantial

  number of employees with significant aver age monthly payroll.

               d.    Based on the Borrower Companies' PPP applications, t he Lenders

  approved sever al PPP loans to the Borrower Companies, which together totaled more

  than approximately $3,300,000, a nd which included t he following loans:

              e.      RABBITT and AGUILAR directed the Lenders to deposit the loan

  proceeds into bank accounts that RABBITT h ad opened for the Borrower Companies.

              f.      To conceal the fraud, after the Lenders transferred the PPP loan

  proceeds to the bank accounts that RABBITT had opened, RABBITT and AGUILAR

  transferred the funds to bank accounts that AGUILAR had opened for the Sham

  Payroll Companies. Transferring the funds to the Sham Payroll Companies made it

  appear as if the Borrower Companies were using the funds for legitimate business

  activity, namely, weekly payroll expenses. But once the funds wer e in the Sham

  Payroll Companies' bank accounts, AGUILAR again transferred the funds, this time

  to bank accounts AGUILAR had opened for the Beneficiary Companies.

              g.      Once RABBITT and AGUILAR had funneled funds from the

  Lenders to the Borrower Companies; from the Borrower Companies to the Sham

  Payroll Companies; and then, finally, from the Sham Payroll Companies to the

  Beneficiary Companies, RABBITT and AGUILAR used the funds to pay for personal

  expenses, including purchasing residential real estate in Texas for approximately

 purchasing a new truck for approximately $100,000.

                             The Wire Fraud Cons irac

          8.    From as early as in or around April 2020 through in or around June

  2020, in the District of New J ersey and elsewhere, defendants

                                JEAN E. RABBITT and
                                  KEVIN AGUILAR

  did knowingly and intentionally conspire with each other and others to devise a

  scheme and artifice to defraud the SBA and others, and to obtain money and property

  by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and

  promises, and, for the purpose of executing and attempting to execute such scheme

  and artifice to defraud, did transmit and cause to be transmitted by means of wire

  communications in interst ate and foreign commerce, certain writings, signs, signals,

  pictures, and sounds, contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343.

                                Goal of the Conspiracy

          9.    The goal of the conspiracy was for RABBITT and AGUILAR to obtain

  lucr ative EIDLs by causing the submission to the SBA of fra udulent applications and

  then diverting the loan proceeds to their personal use.

                        Manner and Means of the Conspiracy

          10.   It was part of the conspiracy that:

                a.    Starting in or around April 2020, RABBITT and AGUILAR

  caused applications to be submitted to the SBA for EID Ls on behalf of several of the

                                             11

  Borrower Companies. Each of these EIDL loan applications included materially false

  infol'mation, including about each Borrower Company's gross revenues and cost of

  goods sold fol' the 12 months preceding J anuary 31, 2020.

                 b.     At least one of the EIDL applications that RABBITT and

  AGUILAR caused to be submitted to the SBA was sent by interstate wire from

  RABBITT's and AGUILAR's residence in New J ersey to the SBA's computel' sel'ver

  in a st at e other than New J ersey.

                 c.     Without Individual l's knowledge or permission, at least one of

  the EIDL applications that RABBITT and AGUILAR caused to be submitted to the

  SBA falsely listed the name of Individual 1 as the person who owned and controlled

  one of the Bonower Companies and as the person who submitted the EIDL

  application.

                 d.     Based on the EIDL applications, the SBA approved the EIDLs for

  the Bol'rowel' Companies, which together totaled approximately $447,000, and which

  included the following loans:

     Approx. Application                                       Approx.
                                  Business Applicant                        Lender

                                   Freightways Corp.

                 e.     The SBA deposited the loan proceeds into bank accounts that

  RABBITT opened for the Borrower Companies.

              f.     RABBITT and AGUILAR then caused the EIDL loan proceeds to

  be transferred into bank accounts that AGUILAR had opened for the Sham Payroll

  Compa nies. AGUILAR then transferred the funds to one or more ba nk accounts that

  AGUILAR had opened for the Beneficiary Companies. After the funds were

  transferred t o the Beneficiary Companies, RABBITT and AGUILAR used the funds

  to pay their personal expenses.

        In viola tion of Title 18, United Stat es Code, Section 1349.

                                   The Conspiracy

        14.    From as early as in or around April 2020 through in or around March

  2022, in the District of New J ersey and elsewhere, defendants

                               JEAN E. RABBITT and
                                 KEVIN AGUILAR

  did knowingly and intentionally conspire and agree with each other and others to

  knowingly engage and attempt to engage in monetary tra nsactions in criminally

  derived property of a value great er tha n $10,000 that was derived from a specified

  unlawful activity, t hat is, bank fraud, contrary to Title 18, United States Code,

  Section 1344, contrary to Title 18, United St ates Code, Section1957.

                               Goal of the Conspiracy

        15.    The goal of the conspiracy was for RABBITT and AGUILAR to transfer

Case 3:23-cr-00320-MAS     Document 92      Filed 09/19/24   Page 16 of 27 PageID: 502




              b.    Based on the applications that RABBITT and AGUILAR caused

  to be submitted on behalf of the Borrower Companies, the Lenders approved the PPP

  loans and deposited the PPP loan proceeds into bank accounts that RABBITT had

  opened for each of the Borrower Companies. In all, the Lenders transferred over

  approximately $3,300,000 into those bank accounts.

              c.    After the PPP loan proceeds were deposited into t he Bonower

  Companies' bank accounts, RABBITT and AGUILAR caused those funds t o be

  transferred, gener ally by paper check, from the Borrower Companies' bank accounts

  to bank accounts for the Sham Payroll Companies, which AGUILAR opened and

  controlled. These checks were made payable to the Sham Payroll Companies a nd

  creat ed the false impression th at the Borrower Companies were using PPP loan

  proceeds for legitimate business activity, n amely, weekly payroll expenses. For

  example:

                     1.    Between on or about October 19, 2020, and on or about

  September 9, 2021, RABBITT and AGUILAR caused Showtime Trucking to tr ansfer
