A 34-year-old woman has entered a guilty plea for playing a lead role in a scheme to fraudulently obtain disaster relief funds. Cora Chantail Custard, formerly a resident of Houston, has admitted to conspiracy to commit wire fraud which led to significant losses for multiple federal agencies. From March 2020 until March 2021, Custard operated, primarily through social media solicitations, to file fraudulent loan and benefit applications to the tune of approximately $620,000, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.
