Former top FEMA official busted for taking bribes after Hurricane Maria
A former top official in the Federal Emergency Management Agency was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly taking bribes from the head of a company who received $1.8 billion in federal contracts to repair Puerto Rico’s power grid after Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017.
Ahsha Tribble, a deputy regional administrator, another former FEMA official, Jovanda Patterson, and Donald Keith Ellison, the former president of COBRA Acquisitions, were charged in a 15-count indictment.
Cobra Acquisitions was the main contractor for the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and executed two contracts with the agency for a total value of $1.8 billion, according to the Justice Department. Work completed by Cobra for the island's damaged electrical infrastructure was paid through the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority by federal funds from FEMA.
Patterson, Tribble’s deputy chief of staff, steered contracts to COBRA and left FEMA in July 2018 for a job at the energy company, the court documents say.

Well, we can hope we get to the bottom of the 1B scam to profit off this that should lead to the Great Douche.
FYI:
Prosecutors target former CEO of Mammoth Energy Services' Cobra Acquisitions with fraud and conspiracy charges
And the 300 million scam
Why did Puerto Rico award a $300 million contract to a tiny Montana company?
