PA Pleads Guilty to Fraud |
Todd Kreykes, a physician assistant from Northern Michigan, admitted to misusing over $200,000 of COVID-19 relief funds for personal luxuries. He faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to theft of government property. The funds were intended to support health services during the pandemic, but Kreykes used them on a motorcycle, truck, vacations, and home renovations. Kreykes has agreed
to make full restitution before sentencing. Misusing Covid-relief funds is not uncommon, with experts previously calling it the “biggest fraud in a generation.”
