An Atlanta man pleaded guilty to wire fraud related to a scheme to defraud his Fortune 500 employer.
The Justice Department announced Monday that Santwon Antionio Davis submitted a fake medical letter claiming he'd contracted COVID-19.
According to Business Insider, federal authorities say Davis cost the company more than $100,000 when it closed its Atlanta facility for cleaning.
Davis had previously lied to the company about the death of his child to receive company benefits. However, the child never existed.
What's more, it was also discovered that Davis had submitted a mortgage application with several lies about his earnings and employment history.
