8 NYC suspects accused of stealing $2M in COVID relief, flaunting cash online | New York Post

A group of young Brooklyn men ripped off $2 million in COVID-19 relief funds by submitting fraudulent unemployment claims — and then stupidly posted pictures of themselves with their ill-gotten cash, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Six of the eight defendants — ranging in age from 18 to 25 — were charged in Brooklyn federal court, documents show.

Two of the suspects — Armani Miller, 24, and Johan Santos, 19 — are still at large.

Four of the alleged thieves foolishly flaunted their fortunes on social media, posting pictures of themselves with large piles of cash, according to the court documents.
