Feds seize millions in PPP funds from international ministry [View all]

The U.S. Secret Service seized more than $7.5 million from accounts at Bank of America and another $868,000 from First American Trust from ASLAN International Ministry.

When agents went to the Orlando, Florida address listed for the group, no one answered and the door was locked, the complaint said.
$868,250 was used as a deposit on a $3.7 million home in Orlando.

A so-called international ministry based in Florida didn’t appear to do anything religious and was able to fraudulently obtain millions from the Paycheck Protection Program, federal authorities say.

The U.S. Secret Service seized more than $7.5 million from accounts at Bank of America and another $868,000 from First American Trust from ASLAN International Ministry, according to a civil forfeiture complaint filed in U.S District Court in Orlando, Fla.
