The covid scams are starting to catch up with people.
California couple Richard Ayvazyan and Marietta Terabelian were found guilty after they scammed $21 million in a covid-19 relief scam.
They and two other relatives were able to get that much from the PPP loan and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program by using fake identities and docs.
The couple *might’ve* been able to get away with it if they didn’t spend the money on multiple houses, jewelry, and other things they didn’t really need. They were charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering and could face a lot of time in prison.
The problem is, they have now gone on the run.
The couple was some kind of house arrest, cut their ankle monitors off, and have been on the run since Sunday. They had to give up about $450k in cash so they may still have money left over, and the FBI is now looking for them.
Being close to Mexico wouldn’t surprise me if that’s where they went, but they don’t sound like the smartest people, so who knows.
