An Anchorage businesswoman was sentenced today to 3.8 years in prison for lying on federal loan applications & stealing identities to fraudulently obtain nearly $1 million in COVID-19 relief funds. The defendant, Cheryl Labrie, will also serve 3 years on supervised release upon completion of her prison sentence. The total loss amount in this case was more than $970,000. The Court ordered Labrie to pay the total loss amount in full through restitution. @SBAOIG 🔗 justice.gov/usao-ak/pr/ancho…
Blue quote graphic that says, “Ms. Labrie orchestrated an elaborate web of deceit to steal nearly $1 million from the American taxpayers, funds that could have benefited struggling businesses during a national emergency. Tackling fraud against the American purse is a priority for my office and this administration. We must protect the systems set in place to assist law abiding U.S. citizens in times of need. Michael J. Heyman United States Attorney, District of Alaska."
