According to U.S. Political advertisement paid for and approved by faces seven counts of of wire fraud, indictment Catherine Vogel, Democrat for State Attorney, Monroe County District Court in Miami, felony wire fraud, four says the men filed false claims using fraudulent employment and income documents that claimed lost income as a result of the oil spill. The indictment says the men made the following claims: • Major claimed $10,000 on Oct. 27, 2010. • Major and Bacon claimed $11,000 on Nov. 2, 2010. • Major and Barnes claimed $28,000 on Feb. 5, 2011. • Major and Sargent claimed $24,000 on Feb. 7, 2011. • Major claimed $20,500 on Feb. 7, 2011. In two separate wire fraud counts, Major is accused of claiming $27,000 on Feb. 5, 2011, and $24,000 on Feb. 7, 2011. Major’s four counts of access-number fraud have to do with Gulf Coast Claims Facility “device numbers” used to “obtain anything of value aggre- gating $1,000 or more.” Major’s two identify theft counts deal with using false Social Security numbers as a means of identification. BP established the claims facility around June 2010 in the wake of the rig explosion and sub- sequent lengthy oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico. The purpose was to repay lost income to people affected by the disaster along the Gulf Coast. Monroe County resi- dents and businesses have received around $200 mil- lion from the Gulf Coast Claims Facility on more than 11,000 claims. The Keys lie on the outer border of a region approved on May 2 by a federal judge for a class- action case involving BP claims ranging from Texas to Monroe County. Settling cases with eco- nomic and property dam- age claimants could cost the multi-national firm an additional $7.8 billion, according to its estimates. The Gulf Coast Claims Facility has been replaced by the new Deepwater Horizon Court-Supervised Settlement Program as part of the settlement. Pending claims will be turned over to the new agency.
