FBI Captures Fugitive Behind $32M COVID Fraud | Wilmington News
Description
The FBI just brought down fugitive Elaine Angene Escoe in Jamaica—accused of stealing $32 million in COVID relief funds. She fled in 2025, but karma caught up. Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s crackdown is hitting hard: over 160 people charged nationwide, losses exceeding $245 million. From fake businesses to daycare scams—like the Southern California operation where 12 fraudsters pocketed $10 million while barely any kids were present—these schemes show how deep and organized the fraud rings are. Uncle Sam’s got eyes everywhere, and even if you run, he’ll find you.
