Miami Lakes insurance company owner pleads guilty in $6M bank fraud scheme
NBC Miami
The owner and operator of a Miami Lakes insurance company has pleaded guilty to a scheme to defraud a Georgia credit union out of $6 million, authorities said.
Heleonel Gonzalez, 48, pleaded guilty to bank fraud charges last week, officials with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia said.
Prosecutors said Gonzalez, the owner and operator of Sharp Insurance Agency in Miami Lakes, orchestrated the scheme to defraud the Peach State Federal Credit Union between January 2023 and January 2024.
Gonzalez targeted a division of the credit union that loans money to commercial borrowers so they can pay premiums on property insurance policies.
