Ex-Olympian Allison Marie Baver Charged with Falsely Receiving $10M in COVID-19 Funds

Former United States Olympic speedskater Allison Marie Baver has been charged with money laundering and eight separate counts of making a false statement to a bank, according to Joshua Rhett Miller of the New York Post, after fraudulently receiving over $10 million in COVID-19 relief funds.

Per that report, "Prosecutors said Baver submitted eight Paycheck Protection Program loan applications in April 2020 seeking $10 million for her entertainment firm. In each request, Baver said her average monthly payroll was as much as $4.7 million, but she actually had no payroll at all, court documents show.
