Plea agreement says Abundant Blessings executive admitted fraud and money laundering involving homelessness funds
The U.S. Department of Justice said executive director Alexander Soofer agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. According to a plea agreement filed September 16, Soofer admitted participating in a bribery and false-referral scheme, obtaining public money intended to address homelessness and retaining at least $2 million for personal enrichment and unrelated businesses. He agreed to forfeit illicit proceeds, but the DOJ said his formal guilty plea was expected later.
