A Florida nurse fraudulently obtained and laundered $420,000 in coronavirus relief funds, prosecutors say. According to a criminal complaint, Giraldo Caraballo received a loan from the Paycheck Protection Program on behalf of his company, Professional Skills Inc., after lying on his application.
When Caraballo opened a bank account for his company in May 2019 he reported having two employees and annual gross sales of $70,000.
When he applied for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan in June, Caraballo claimed that the company had four employees and that the company's gross revenue between February 2019 and January 2020 was about $180,000.
