A Massachusetts man accused of fraudulently applying for hundreds of thousands of dollars in coronavirus relief bills and then faking suicide to avoid prosecution has agreed to plead guilty to some of the charges against him.
The Associated Press reported that David Staveley, 53, “will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and failure to appear in court charges, according to documents filed Thursday in federal court in Rhode Island.” In exchange for pleading guilty, federal prosecutors will dismiss several charges against him, including bank fraud, making false statements, and aggravated identity theft.
