Boeroepae Jordan, a 51-year-old Atlanta resident, has been sentenced to over three years in prison for fraudulently obtaining $323,000 in disaster relief funds intended to aid those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite his previous felony convictions, Jordan filed false applications claiming a fictional business to secure loans. He spent the money lavishly before authorities uncovered his scheme. He must repay the full amount and faces stringent penalties for his actions.
Well, folks, we’ve got quite the story out of Atlanta! In a case that truly shines a light on the darker side of human nature, 51-year-old Boeroepae Jordan has been sentenced to a lengthy prison time for his role in a jaw-dropping fraud scheme, snagging a whopping $323,000 from disaster relief funds meant to help those in dire straits during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Let’s rewind a bit. Jordan isn’t exactly a newcomer to the legal system; he has a history that includes a six-year prison sentence for drug trafficking. After serving his time, he was released and placed under a 72-month term of supervised release, which means he was supposed to be on his best behavior. But that turned out to be more challenging than he anticipated.
On April 5, 2020, things took a turn for the worse when Jordan decided to take advantage of the small business relief programs that the U.S. government had rolled out to support folks impacted by the pandemic. He filed an application for a $5,000 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) advance, falsely claiming that he had a business called A/E Multi-Diamond Entertainment Inc. The only problem? This “business” had no employees, and quite frankly, it didn’t even exist!
Without breaking a sweat, the SBA approved and deposited the funds into a bank account that he cleverly arranged for a family member to open. But this was just the tip of the iceberg!
Fast forward to May 2020 when Jordan decided he wasn’t done yet. He submitted another application, this time for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. He alleged that his nonexistent business employed 18 people, magically generating a shocking request for $291,250. To make his case even more compelling, he included falsified IRS documents and altered bank statements. Who knew a person could get so creative with fabricating financial information?
And guess what? The SBA approved this massive loan on May 20, 2020, and Jordan wasted no time drawing on those funds. In a spending spree that would make anyone’s head spin, he splurged on fancy dinners and high-end retail purchases, draining the account faster than you can say “financial fraud.”
By July 31, 2020, the money he had originally received was mostly gone, with less than $5,000 left in what had once been a substantial amount. As authorities caught wind of his escapades, it was only a matter of time before justice was served.
Jordan eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud back in October 2024. Recently, he received a sentence of three years and five months in prison, followed by an additional three years of supervised release. Not only that, but he has been ordered to pay back the full amount of $323,433.31 to the SBA. Talk about a major financial hit!
U.S. officials have made it clear that they are taking fraud cases like Jordan’s seriously, highlighting the importance of ensuring that relief funds go to those who genuinely need them. This unfortunate story reminds us all that while there may be opportunities to exploit a system in vulnerable times, the repercussions can be dire. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed that our communities can recover and that justice prevails!
