A federal jury convicted a former Florida deputy of wire fraud, marking the first trial conviction among 17 agency employees accused of misappropriating COVID relief funds. In a separate case, employees of the Nevada nonprofit Positively Kids face criminal charges for embezzling over $300,000 in state-issued COVID relief funds. The organization, which has ties to two Democratic legislators, has reportedly paid off $1.7 million in debts and updated past-due accounts. The scandal has led to nearly $5 million in lost revenue and the resignation of most board members.
