In Detroit, another individual confessed to conspiracy involving over $14 million in fraudulent pandemic relief loans. Eric Lenzen, a former partner and corporate lawyer at Husch Blackwell and Dykema Gossett, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay income taxes for 2016 and 2020, owing over $3.9 million in unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties. Additionally, a Long Island woman was indicted for a $3.28 million Paycheck Protection Program fraud scheme, having submitted at least 27 fraudulent applications for Covid-19 relief loans.
