DEI Money Laundering Scheme EXPOSED

DEI Money Laundering Scheme EXPOSED

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, was recently found guilty of stealing a whopping $5.1 MILLION from Facebook and Nike for DEI initiatives.

Here's how she pulled it off before getting caught:

Step 1: Access and Authority - Furlow-Smiles held a key DEI leadership role at Facebook and Nike, granting her control over company credit cards and vendor invoice approvals.

Step 2: Fraudulent Transactions - She linked her personal PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App accounts to Facebook's credit cards to transfer funds falsely claimed for non-existent services.

Step 3: Fictitious Reporting - Furlow-Smiles submitted fraudulent expense reports claiming that associates had provided services like marketing and event swag for Facebook, which were untrue.

Step 4: Vendor Kickbacks - She onboarded vendors owned by friends who then submitted fake invoices. After Facebook paid these invoices, the vendors kicked back a portion of the funds to her.

The stolen funds were used to sustain a lavish lifestyle across multiple states, funded by the money recirculated from these fraudulent activities.
