They got Capone on tax evasion, and now federal prosecutors have managed to bust up a Louisiana street gang by charging two dozen people with pandemic benefit fraud.
Authorities say the Step or Die gang, based in Shreveport, kept making up fake businesses and employees and filing for small business loans.
Nico Stewart, a defendant who has agreed to plead guilty, said he applied for 11 loans from March 3, 2020, to July 2, 2021. Banks rejected paying on all the full loans he requested, but he did walk away with two advance payments of $4,000 and $1,000.
