Investigators say that starting in August 2020, Adedayo Ilori and co-conspirator Chris Recamier submitted numerous fraudulent applications for government-backed loans for small businesses they didn’t actually own.
A Brooklyn personal trainer has been charged with trying to steal $7 million in COVID-19 relief while he awaited trial in a separate bank-loan case, prosecutors said.
The scheme got underway just six months after Ilori had been indicted with several other defendants in a separate loan-fraud case. Ilori pleaded guilty in that case in April, and while he was awaiting sentencing, prosecutors say he continued making bogus COVID-19 relief claims. An attorney who represented Adedayo in the bank-loan case said she was not representing him in the COVID-19 relief fraud case and couldn’t comment. She said Adedayo had been arrested several weeks ago for violating the conditions of his bail in the loan-fraud case, but that a new attorney hadn’t yet been assigned for the new indictment which was unsealed on Wednesday.
But according to court filings, the two men didn’t actually own the companies, and allegedly used stolen identities and falsified tax documents to make their claims.
