SUMMARY - A South Carolina man has resigned his position as a
School District Trustee after a federal grand jury returned a
five-count indictment which involved charges of wire fraud and
bank fraud related to COVID relief loans in 2020 and 2021. If
convicted on all counts, the man faces a maximum penalty of 30
years in federal prison, up to three years of supervised
release, and fines totaling as much as $1 million. The
indictment also seeks forfeiture of any proceeds obtained as a
result of the alleged crimes.

COMMENT:
That much money would have likely saved some lives so that's not
stiff enough penalty.
In this case "The loans were part of the Paycheck Protection
Program, which was created by Congress to help businesses retain
employees and cover essential expenses during the COVID-19
pandemic". I maintain that stealing money or using money in a
fraudulent manner that was 'medically' ordained or intended to
save lives or was intended to help those who suffered from from
covid related issues and incidences is equivalent to taking some
lives in my book.
Just as an example a 50,000 dollar surgery would save a
persons's life easily.
The real cost of the money stolen could have without a doubt
saved a few lives.The money was originally intended and ordained
to save lives...Lives were stolen not money.
Believe me if the money was intended for covid research some
real humanitarian efforts were made to legitimately help
businesses who were truly effected directly by the pandemic
...it is money intended to save lives..all 'medical' intended
money saves lives in the long run. When people stop getting
covid they stop getting long covid and so that prevents
complications which can require expensive treatment and
surgeries.. it all boils down to the same thing... he didn't
just steal money... he stole from humanity
...Lives were stolen not money.
Talk about hitting somebody when they are already down covid
fraud is just evil. That's a crime against humanity no doubt.
Covid fraud is the act of taking something away that was
supposed to ease human suffering and save lives... The end
result of covid fraud is the same as and is equivalent to
inflicting suffering and pain and taking away some peoples'
lives from a distance in a somewhat remote manner in which one
hasn't met the victims up close.
..of course thus far this is an alleged case and still has to go
to court to prove the man guilty or innocence of bank fraud,
wire fraud and illegal monetary. transactions.
I personally think when people steal money that was intended as
'medical' money that classifies this directly as a crime against
humanity. The victims of this are you and me, or relatives and
the general population who need medical help and advancement and
the victims remain unsung and unacknowledged and will never get
their day in court because they remain nameless and one can't
determine what the true extent of the damage is.. they stole the
money before it could save a life.. an extremely vicious,
conniving act and and evil. The true victims didn't stand a
chance.. to me this is murder from afar and in advance.. a true
crime against humanity because the money was intended and
originally ordained for humanitarian efforts and would have
saved lives and would have eased human suffering.
I must state my personal views are not the views held by all
people typically while many people do agree with me and argue
that the scale of theft was a profound violation of public trust
and safety during a crisis, legal systems have thus far treated
it as massive financial fraud rather than a crime against
humanity. There's something about people spending the funds on
non-qualifying personal expenses rather than authorized business
purposes while others more deserving are suffering that
especially angers me.
