Fox News
A former Georgia mayoral candidate in charge of a nonprofit claiming to assist low-income families spent $323,000 in loans she received from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) on an in-ground pool for her home, furniture and to pay down her mortgage, amongst other personal expenses, the Justice Department alleges.
In 2017, Ware unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Conyers, a city of about 15,000 outside of Atlanta. "It has been said that bad times bring out the best in people, this case is not an example of that," Special Agent in Charge Katrina Berger, who heads Homeland Security Investigations operations in Georgia and Alabama, said in a statement. "Every time a fraudster steals money from the PPP fund another legitimate business is unable to get those funds to help real employees with real families."
