MIAMI — Daniela Rendon, 31, of Miami made her appearance in federal magistrate court today and was charged with fraudulently obtaining COVID-19 relief loans and grants under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Relief Program.
According to the indictment, Rendon submitted fraudulent applications seeking COVID-19 relief funds from the Small Business Administration and PPP. She is alleged to have falsified her revenue and payroll and submitted fraudulent IRS tax forms. According to the charges, Rendon received approximately $381,000 in fraudulent funds. To disburse the funds, she is alleged to have enrolled with a payroll processor to issue fraudulent payroll checks to herself, family members, and friends. She is alleged to have used the fraudulently obtained funds to lease a 2021 Bentley Bentayga, rent a luxury Biscayne Bay apartment, pay for cosmetic dermatology procedures, and refinish her designer shoes.
The indictment charges Rendon with seven counts of wire fraud, two counts of money laundering, and one count of aggravated identity theft. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Markenzy Lapointe and acting Special Agent in Charge Michael E. Buckley, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Miami, made the announcement.
HSI Miami investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Bailyn is prosecuting it.
An indictment is a mere allegation. A defendant is presumed innocent until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Refinish shoes? Is that a thing??
Not guilty.
Whew!! At least they caught her. I’m sure she is the only one that did such a thing and she will certainly pay the price for such fraud.
Yeah, she’s cute. I’m sure she’ll make some lady a fine jailhouse wife, washing undies and all that.
Diplomatic Immunity!
Another single drop in that giant bucket of fraud.
I don’t think she’s the only one who did so. I heard about some guy who got caught buying some Pokémon trading cards with covid relief funds.
She foes laundry? Maybe the judge will sentence her to be my butler.
Sarcasm is subtle
She will wash undies for a cell mate twice her size.
Finally put an end to the, uh, CONvid scams.

Columbia, South Carolina? Columbia, Maryland? Colombia?
How to people even think up these schemes? I can barely manage to navigate the self-checkout screens.
She should run for Congress.
She would be an improvement.
Narcicistic social media skank. Throw the book at her.
