Houston Woman Charged With Fraud, Money Lauding After Receiving $3.5 Million Under CARES Act

A Houston woman will appear before a federal judge on Tuesday afternoon on charges of defrauding the CARES Act of millions of dollars.

LaDonna Wiggins, 37, has been charged with money laundering, bank fraud, and making a false statement to a bank.

Wiggins applied for two Paycheck Protection Program loans and received $3.6 million, according to the US Attorney’s Office.

They say she wasted the cash on two houses, various cars, and high-end goods rather than on legitimate business expenses.

Wiggins could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine if convicted.
