Elaine Escoe Fled to Jamaica | Washington DC News

Elaine Escoe, once on the FBI’s most wanted list, orchestrated a $32 million fraud scheme targeting COVID-19 relief funds by submitting fake business applications with forged payroll records—some for shell companies, others for third parties paid hefty kickbacks. She fled to Jamaica but was apprehended in July and returned to face charges including wire fraud and money laundering, pleading not guilty and demanding a jury trial. She’s now the last key player in this massive scam to be caught, while several co-conspirators have already been convicted or pleaded guilty, receiving sentences from three to nearly twenty years.
