Shelby Township Man Sentenced to Three Years for $2.5 Million PPP Fraud
Prosecutors say Samer Kammo secured loans using fabricated payroll records.
Overview
- A federal judge imposed a 36-month prison term Thursday after Kammo pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire and bank fraud.
- The scheme drew nearly $2.5 million from the Paycheck Protection Program through misrepresented payroll and fictitious tax, bank, and health insurance documents.
- Kammo was ordered to pay more than $2.4 million in restitution, according to court records.
- Co-defendant Rita Shaba received a 27-month sentence in January, and sentencing for Kammo’s wife, Christinia Anasi, remains pending.
- The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations led the probe with help from Michigan labor and unemployment agencies, as officials vowed continued PPP fraud enforcement.
