Ruby Corado, the founder of the LGBTQ nonprofit Casa Ruby in Washington D.C., has been arrested and charged with fraud and money laundering related to the misappropriation of $150,000 in pandemic relief funds. Corado, who had fled to El Salvador in 2022, was apprehended nearly 2 years later at a hotel in Laurel. The arrest follows allegations that Corado diverted funds meant for the nonprofit's operations and indigent clients to her personal bank accounts. In a separate case, the former CEO of Stimwave, a medical device company, was convicted by a New York federal jury for selling an implant with a bogus component to chronic pain sufferers, aiming to inflate billings. This conviction on two counts of health care fraud carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years for each count.
