 THE GRAND JURY CHARGES:

                                         INTRODUCTION

                At all times relevant to this Indictment, unless otherwise indicated:

        I.      The New York State Unemployment System and Pandemic Unemployment
                Assistance

                1.      The United States Social Security Act established a federal and state

 unemployment insurance ("UI") system designed to provide benefits to unemployed people. In

 New York, the New York State Department of Labor ("NYSDOL") operated the unemployment

 system and distributed UI benefits through the New York State Unemployment Insurance Fund

 ("NYSUIF").

                2.      On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared that the

 ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic was of sufficient severity and

 magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration for all states, tribes and territories, and the

                                                                                                    2


 District of Columbia, pursuant to section 501(b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

 Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5207 (the "Stafford Act").

                3.      On March 18, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Families

 First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCRA") into law. The FFCRA provided additional

 flexibility for state UI agencies and additional administrative funding to respond to the COVID-

 19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was signed

 into law on March 27, 2020. It expanded states ' ability to provide UI for many workers

 impacted by COVID-19, including for workers who were not ordinarily eligible for UI benefits.

 The CARES Act provided for three new UI programs, including, as relevant herein, Pandemic

 Unemployment Assistance ("PUA") and Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation

 ("FPUC").

                4.     PUA provided for up to 39 weeks of benefits to individuals who were self-

 employed, seeking part-time employment, or who otherwise would not qualify for regular UI or

 extended benefits under state or federal law or Pandemic Emergency Unemployment

 Compensation ("PEUC") under Section 2107 of the CARES Act. Coverage included

 individuals who had exhausted all rights to regular UI or extended benefits under state or federal

 law or PEUC. Under the PUA provisions of the CARES Act, a person who was a business

 owner, self-employed worker, independent contractor or "gig" worker could qualify for PUA

 benefits administered by NYSDOL if he or she previously performed such work in New Yark

 and was unemployed, partially unemployed, unable to work or unavailable to work due to a

 COVID-19-related reason. A PUA claimant was required to answer various questions to

 establish eligibility for PUA benefits. Claimants were required to provide their name, date of

 birth, Social Security number and mailing address. Claimants were also required to identify a
Case 1:21-cr-00411-WFK         Document 70        Filed 08/05/21     Page 3 of 16 PageID #: 106

                                                                                                 3


 qualifying occupational status and COVID-19-related reason for being out of work. The

 eligible timeframe to receive PUA was from weeks of unemployment beginning on or after

 January 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

                5.     FPUC provided individuals who were collecting UI or PUA benefits,

 among other forms of benefits, with an additional $600 per week. In New York, the eligible

 timeframe to receive FPUC was from weeks of unemployment beginning on or about April 5,

 2020 through July 26, 2020.

                6.     On August 8, 2020, the President of the United States signed a Presidential

 Memorandum authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") to use

 disaster relief funds pursuant to Section 408 of the Stafford Act to provide supplemental

 payments for lost wages and to help ease the financial burden on individuals unemployed as a

 result ofCOVID-19. These supplemental payments were administered through the Lost Wages

 Assistance Program ("L W AP"), which served as a temporary measure to provide an additional

 $300 per week through a total of $44 billion in FEMA funds . L W AP was available from on or

 about August 1, 2020 through December 27, 2020.

                7.     On December 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the

 Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 , into law, which included the Continued Assistance for

 Unemployed Workers Act of2020 (the "Continued Assistance Act") . The Continued

 Assistance Act extended PUA benefits to March 14, 2021 and reauthorized and modified FPUC

 to provide supplemental payments of $300 per week for the period between on or about

 December 26, 2020 through May 14, 2021.

                8.     There were two primary methods for filing for NYSUIF benefits: online

 through the NYSDOL website and by telephone through a NYSDOL call center. If the claim

                                                                                                      4

 was accepted, the claimant was required to establish, on a weekly basis, his or her continued

 eligibility for UI benefits. The claimant could complete this recertification by answering a

 series of questions on the NYSDOL website or through a NYSDOL call center.

                9.     KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") was a bank headquartered in

 Cleveland, Ohio. The NYSDOL used Key Bank bank accounts to fund NYSUIF benefits.

 Key Bank issued some claimants debit cards to which NYSUIF benefit payments were credited.

 Other claimants acquired reloadable cards issued by different banks and provided the

 information for the reloadable cards through the NYSDOL website, which cards were then

 loaded with NYSUIF benefit payments. Other claimants had NYSUIF benefits directly

 deposited into personal bank accounts.

        II.     The Fraudulent Scheme

                10.    In or about and between June 2020 and April 2021, the defendants

 BRYAN ABRAHAM, ANGEL CABRERA, ARMAN! MILLER, ANDRE RUDDOCK,

 GIANNI STEWART and CARLOS VAZQUEZ, together with others, submitted and caused to

 be submitted approximately 250 false and fraudulent claims (the "Fraudulent Claims") to the

 NYSDOL for NYSUIF benefits using the personal identifying information ("PII"), including

 names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers, of different, real individuals (the "Victims"),

 whose identities are known to the Grand Jury.

                11.    Using the Victims' PII, the defendants BRYAN ABRAHAM, ANGEL

 CABRERA, ARMAN! MILLER, ANDRE RUDDOCK, GIANNI STEWART and CARLOS

 VAZQUEZ, together with others, created or caused to be created fraudulent NYSDOL UI

 benefits accounts in the Victims' names, and thereby caused NYSDOL to load benefit funds onto

 Key Bank debit cards in the names of the Victims. The addresses associated with the accounts,
Case 1:21-cr-00411-WFK           Document 70        Filed 08/05/21    Page 5 of 16 PageID #: 108

                                                                                                    5

 which were provided by the defendants and their co-conspirators, were not the Victims' true

 addresses, but were instead addresses controlled by the defendants and their co-conspirators,

 including addresses in the Eastern District of New York and elsewhere. Therefore, Key Bank

 sent debit cards in the Victims' names, via the United States mail, to the defendants and their co-

 conspirators, rather than to the Victims.

                 12.     The defendants BRYAN ABRAHAM, ANGEL CABRERA, ARMANI

 MILLER, ANDRE RUDDOCK, GIANNI STEWART and CARLOS VAZQUEZ, together with

 others, used the KeyBank debit cards bearing the names of the Victims to withdraw U.S .

 currency from ATM machines in the Eastern District of New York and elsewhere.

                 13.     In furtherance of the conspiracy, the defendants BRYAN ABRAHAM,

 ANGEL CABRERA and CARLOS VAZQUEZ, together with others, also caused NYSDOL to

 directly deposit NYSUIF benefits fraudulently claimed in the names of the Victims into personal

 bank accounts owned or controlled by the defendants and their co-conspirators.

                 14.     The fraudulent scheme resulted in an actual loss amount of approximately

 $2,000,000 in UI benefits distributed to the defendants BRYAN ABRAHAM, ANGEL

 CABRERA, ARMANI MILLER, ANDRE RUDDOCK, GIANNI STEWART, CARLOS

 VAZQUEZ, and to co-conspirators, between approximately June 2020 and April 2021.

                            (Conspiracy to Commit Access Device Fraud)

                 15.     The allegations contained in paragraphs one through 14 are realleged and

 incorporated as if fully set forth in this paragraph.

                 16.     In or about and between June 2020 and April 2021 , both dates being

 approximate and inclusive, within the Eastern District of New York and elsewhere, the

 received payments and things of value aggregating $1 ,000 or more during any one-year period,

 contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1029(a)(2) and 1029(a)(5).

                17.        In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect its objects, within the

 Eastern District ofNew York and elsewhere, the defendants BRYAN ABRAHAM, ANGEL

 CABRERA, ARMAN! MILLER, ANDRE RUDDOCK, GIANNI STEWART and CARLOS

 VAZQUEZ, together with others, did commit and cause the commission of the following:
