FBI Captures $32M Pandemic Fraud Queen | Wilmington News
Description
A major pandemic fraud bust: Elaine Angene Escoe, once on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, was captured in Jamaica after fleeing federal court in 2025. Allegedly part of a $32 million scheme to steal COVID-19 relief funds meant for struggling businesses, she vanished under the alias “Harley Newman.” Prosecutors charge her with wire fraud and money laundering. This arrest marks the fourth “Most Wanted Fraudster” nabbed by the FBI in just five weeks — a bold international crackdown showing that no border is safe from justice.
