Prather defrauded the Payment Protection Program (PPP) by applying for loans for six different businesses that she claimed she owned: Enhanced Healthcare Solutions, Life Skills Enhancement, Prather Property Management, Reliable Ambulette Services, Rich Glo Management Services and Tots R Us.
Federal prosecutors said Prather asked for $600,000 but only received $19,800.
According to court documents, Prather spent $8,000 on personal items and eating out at restaurants and gave another $8,000 to a boyfriend.
The FBI got tipped off by Fifth Third Bank after they found discrepancies in Prather’s loan applications.
