The former assistant city attorney of Atlanta, who was also a life advice podcaster has been jailed for seven years after fraudulently obtaining approximately $15 million in COVID relief loans.

Shelitha Robertson, 62, used the illegally gained funds to splash out on luxuries such as a 10 carat diamond ring, a Rolls Royce and a motorbike.

The former police officer had obtained the money under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a federal stimulus program that was set up during the pandemic.

Who’s that guy?

That ain’t no CHUMP CHANGE.

That’s a lot of money to hide. Wonder who she shared it with.

FINCEN could be rather busy following where all that money went.

That's the first order Trump needs to give: "Audit Everything."

Trump prosecutor Fani Willis got donation from ex city attorney convicted of $15M fraud

[MayflowerMadam]

Yep. That’s the one!

The default position must be that everyone is lying and cheating.

It is the auditor’s job to prove they are not—if they are not.

Great job SBA. I could spent 2 minutes looking at her Biz via Google. And tell in 1 minute she cannot have 400 employees. But, dole out $10M with no question. Cause she’s from Atlanta and works for the Gov’t too.

And the auditing firm must be a well-regarded company in, say, North Dakota or Nebraska, or Idaho. Somewhere FAR from Washington, D.C. The days of the government “investigating” itself or using a bought-and-paid-for ally to do so must end.

Etymology is fun.

Hey! Let's not insult the noble cows! :)

[Did I just hear a “Mooch!”?]

There. That's better.

[SaveFerris]

Well, at least they kept it classy...

[SaveFerris]

She probably had to pay a lot of people off

With $15 million, you too can be glamorous. If your house and car and clothes are top drawer, who cares what you actually look like?

[LegendHasIt]

Yeah, I saw that this morning and wanted to shout: “See, I told you!”

[dfwgator]

They all look alike.

Good perspective there, from occupied ga.

It appears sometimes fraud -- to the tune of multi-millions of dollars -- pays for "public servants" serving as the prosecutors of crime.

And Fani is still out there... Easily reelected, bragging about herself in church. Insane. And it's all going to backfire when the American public says, "Enough already!".

[IncPen]

Maybe it was the author’s original intent to use the term ghettopotamus but the spellcheck software changed it to glamorous.
There has to be some type of a reasonable explanation.

’Glamourous’.

This is the same language the tabloids use in promoting the difference between the ‘annointed’ and the ‘peasantry.’

In the eyes of the author, this woman’s crimes—stealing from you, and me, and everyone else who pays taxes—are forgivable because, wee, she’s ‘glamorous’ and we aren’t.

In another time, that may yet return, such hubris would be met with outrage,

"This was no governmental accident. This was purposed."

There are some folks that come really cheap.. A few grand here, a few grand there, and the road to riches is straight and wide..

A moral conscious is a thing of the past.....in some cultures anyway.
