FBI Charges 4 Californians In Largest-Ever COVID Tax Credit Fraud Scheme Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Four Californians were charged by a federal grand jury on June 11 for their alleged involvement in a $93 million COVID-19 tax credit fraud scheme, deemed to be the “largest ever identified,” the FBI said in a June 26 statement.The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters in Washington on Nov. 6, 2023. Madalina Vasiliu/The Epoch TimesThe individuals are Kristerpher Turner, 52, of Harbor City; Toriano Knox, 55, of Los Angeles; Kenya Jones, 46, of Compton; and Joyce Johnson, 55, of Victorville.The fraud is related to a COVID-19 tax credit program authorized by Congress called the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The program required certain employers to provide workers with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for reasons related to the pandemic. Employers would then be reimbursed in the form of tax credits.In the fraud scheme, Turner and his co-conspirators allegedly submitted fraudulent forms under certain companies, including bogus ones, claiming FFCRA tax credits. These companies did not pay for sick or family leave to any employees at any time, the FBI said.The defendants submitted fraudulent filings not only on behalf of their own purported businesses but also for companies under the name of other people—including romantic partners, family members, and friends—who were recruited into the scam, it added.For each fraudulent client that received checks from the Treasury under the scheme, Turner reportedly charged somewhere between 20 to 40 percent of the receipts.“In total, from approximately June 2020 and December 2024, the defendants and their co-conspirators submitted and caused the submission of fraudulent forms for at least 148 companies, seeking a total of approximately $247,956,938 in tax refunds to which they were not entitled,” the FBI said.“In reliance on the fraudulent forms and the false statements, the IRS issued Treasury checks in the total amount of at least approximately $93 million.”When defendants learned that the IRS was inquiring about the scheme, Knox, Jones, and other individuals attempted to murder Turner on or about Aug. 29, 2023, to prevent him from speaking to law enforcement, the FBI said. Turner was shot multiple times but survived and is now paralyzed.All four defendants were charged with mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, and conspiracy to submit false claims. Knox and Jones are charged with attempting to kill a witness and using a firearm in furtherance of that crime.Each mail fraud charge carries a maximum prison term of 20 years. The attempted murder charge is punishable with a 30-year jail term, while the firearm charge can result in life imprisonment.The Epoch Times was unable to reach the legal representatives of the four defendants.Another case of a major COVID-19 tax credit fraud came to light earlier this year when seven people were charged with allegedly stealing millions of dollars.On Jan. 22, the Department of Justice said the individuals were charged with “operating a multi-state conspiracy in which they attempted to defraud the United States of more than $600 million by filing more than 8,000 false tax returns claiming COVID-19-related employment tax credits.”While the fraudsters filed for $600 million in tax credits, the IRS reportedly ended up disbursing $45 million.Tackling Pandemic FraudOn June 26, the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC) announced the release of its semiannual report. PRAC was set up under the CARES Act for independent oversight of funds provided under the Act, as well as other related spending bills.Between Oct. 1, 2024, and March 31, PRAC provided investigative support to over 49 law enforcement partners in more than 1,100 investigations related to the pandemic with a potential fraud loss of $2.4 billion.“The PRAC’s data analytics tool has helped recover for the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars—far more than our total appropriation from Congress,” said Michael E. Horowitz, chair of the committee.“Now, with three months remaining until our sunset, we urge Congress to maintain our data analytics center to assist agencies and the oversight community in fraud prevention.”In an April 9 report, the Government Accountability Office said that the true scale of the fraud involved in the pandemic relief funds “will never be known with certainty.”“The scope of the pandemic-relief response; the inherently deceptive nature of fraudulent activities; and the resources needed for detection, investigation, and prosecution of fraud make it difficult to measure. However, estimates indicate hundreds of billions of dollars in potentially fraudulent payments were disbursed,” the report said.Between March 2020 and December 2024, the Justice Department secured more than 650 settlements and judgments worth more than $500 million to resolve fraud and overpayment allegations in connection with the pandemic relief programs, it said.By the end of last year, the Justice Department had announced fraud-related charges against more than 3,000 defendants, of whom 2,148 were sentenced, according to the report.

Apple is facing renewed antitrust scrutiny in Brazil, where the country's competition regulator has formally recommended sanctions against the company over its App Store rules and restrictions on third-party access to iPhone features, including near-field communication (NFC) technology.The recommendation was issued by the General Superintendence of Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (SG/CADE), the technical body of the federal antitrust authority. In a public statement translated from Portuguese, SG/CADE determined that Apple's conduct with iOS constitutes a violation of Brazilian competition law and urged CADE's internal tribunal to impose penalties, including financial fines and mandatory changes to Apple's policies.The investigation started in 2022 after formal complaints were submitted by Latin American e-commerce platform MercadoLibre and other digital service providers. The companies alleged that Apple engaged in anti-competitive practices by requiring in-app purchases to be made exclusively through its own payment system and by restricting developers from informing users about alternative purchasing options — a practice known as anti-steering.MercadoLibre further argued that Apple abused its control over the iOS platform by denying third-party access to critical technologies such as the iPhone's NFC chip, effectively limiting mobile payment competition in Brazil. In a statement to the Brazilian technology publication Tecnoblog, Apple said:For more than 16 years, the App Store has provided our users in Brazil with a safe and trusted marketplace to discover new apps and has helped Brazilian developers build successful businesses. We are concerned that CADE's proposed measures would harm the experience our users love and trust, while also introducing new risks to their privacy and security. We will continue to engage with CADE to defend the rights of users and developers on our platform.According to Reuters, CADE's technical body has now concluded that Apple's enforcement of these restrictions creates artificial barriers to entry for competitors and harms both developers and consumers. In its ruling, CADE wrote that Apple's practices "artificially preserve its dominant position" in iOS-related markets and reduce the availability of competing digital payment solutions.CADE's internal tribunal must now decide whether to accept the recommendation and proceed with formal sanctions. If CADE's tribunal upholds the recommendation, Apple could be required to open its NFC technology to third-party payment providers, following similar mandates already imposed in the European Union.Tag: BrazilThis article, "Brazil Recommends Sanctions for Apple Over App Store and NFC Rules" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

If you've put off buying an MLS Season Pass this year then you're in luck. Today, Apple TV is cutting the price in half, dropping to $49 from $99, for the rest of the 2025 season. If you have an Apple TV+ subscription then you can get a seasonal subscription to the pass for just $39. To be fair, the season runs from February to October so the savings more than makes sense — though it wouldn't be suprising for a streamer to charge full price no matter the number of matches left. Apple announced the same deal on July 1 last year so, if you regret paying $99, it's a good thing to keep in mind for next year. You can watch matches and the matchday whip-around show in English and Spanish, which has interviews, highlights, replays and more. The seasonal subscription also gives you access to a "featured game of the week" broadcast during Sunday Night Soccer. Plus, watch live MLS Next Pro and MLS Next matches.
