The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland announced today that Tomeka Glenn, 47, of Windsor Mill, was sentenced to 65 months in prison and three years of supervised release for conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to false COVID-19 CARES Act loan applications
According to her indictment, Tomeka Glenn submitted misleading EIDL and PPP loan applications between June 2020 and March 2021, for both legitimate and fictitious businesses.
The applications included false information regarding employee numbers, payroll costs, and revenue, according to the department.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office stated that Glenn also provided falsified IRS tax forms and bank statements to back these false claims.
As detailed in court documents, Glenn admitted to receiving over $400,000 in kickbacks from borrowers in exchange for filing fraudulent loan applications.
These kickbacks, typically 10% to 20% of the loan amounts, contributed to the disbursement of at least $2.7 million across 23 fraudulent loans.
