Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that RAYMOND WHITE, a/k/a “John Raymond Anthony White,” a/k/a “Raymond Alexander White,” pled guilty yesterday to a scheme in which he defrauded the government by submitting fraudulent documents and false information about himself, his company’s business, and his company’s finances in order to obtain a $4.8 million contract to build a munitions load crew training facility at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland (“Andrews Air Force Base”), and to obtain a bond guarantee from the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) in connection with the contract. WHITE also committed aggravated identity theft by using another person’s signature and Social Security number. WHITE pled guilty before United States District Judge Edgardo Ramos.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Despite a prior conviction by this Office, Raymond White continued to lie and fabricate information in order to line his own pockets. This time, White defrauded the government, submitting fraudulent documents and false information to obtain a nearly $5 million construction contract and to obtain a bond guarantee from the SBA in connection with the contract. This Office will continue to prosecute recidivist fraudsters until the message is clear and they have learned their lesson: committing financial fraud will lead to significant penalties.”
