Katherine Reynolds, 65, of Plymouth, was arrested and charged with two counts of wire fraud, after she allegedly submitted fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan applications on behalf of herself and her father.  Reynolds was released on conditions following an initial appearance in federal court in Boston earlier today.

“The Paycheck Protection Program was intended to be a lifeline to small businesses and their employees during the pandemic. Instead, this individual allegedly obtained these funds by filing false loan applications,” Inspector General Jeffrey S. Shapiro said.  “I am pleased that our investigation, along with the work of federal law enforcement, will hold this individual accountable.”

If you suspect fraud, waste or abuse of public resources, please contact the Office of the Inspector General at 800-322-1323 or IGO-FightFraud@mass.gov.
