Man ordered to repay $3M in Calif employment fraud
But hey, as long as we can have cheap lettuce and a neat and clean lawn it doesn't matter right?A former Marysville resident has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay back $3 million in fraudulently obtained unemployment compensation. U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner says 31-year-old Manuel Mejia Ordonez was sentenced Friday to eight years and one month in prison for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and identity theft.
Court records show Ordonez, a Mexican citizen (Code for Illegal Alien), used stolen employee and employer information to submit false claims to California's Employment Development Department.
He and his co-conspirators allegedly cashed the checks at markets in Marysville and Fresno then wire transferred the funds to colleagues and relatives in California and Mexico.
