FRAUDSTER KEEPS CONNING

Washington Post

EVEN while he was in jail awaiting sentencing for fraudulently seeking $4.7 million (about R70m) in Paycheck Protection Programme funds, Michael Moller, 42, couldn’t help but carry out one more con. He persuaded two inmates at a Rhode Island jail that he could help them with their criminal and immigration cases, according to court documents. It wasn’t until after $17 000 changed hands that the men realised they were being conned. This week a federal judge sentenced Moller to nearly seven years in prison for his latest con.
