Fbi Arrests Alleged $32m Covid Funds Fraudster In Jamaica
{snip}
Elaine Angene Escoe, 41, was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and multiple counts of money laundering, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
Officials said Escoe helped orchestrate a scheme that fraudulently claimed more than $32 million from programs that were intended to keep American businesses and workers afloat during the pandemic.
After being charged, she failed to appear in court in May 2025, and authorities said she then fled to Jamaica. She was living under a fake name, “Harley Newman,” but was located and arrested after the FBI gave Jamaican authorities a tip, FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Escoe and her co-conspirators allegedly sought more than $32 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG), and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) funds, according to court documents.
The applications falsely represented the existence, payroll, revenue and operators of fake businesses in order to qualify for the maximum federal relief funding, the documents claim.
