Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal wire fraud charge for soliciting tens of thousands of dollars in donations he claimed would go to a youth basketball team — but spending the dough on himself instead.

In total, Gilliam, 49, defrauded victims of $87,215 — both during his mayoral term and his previous time as a City Council member, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Press of Atlantic City.

Gilliam told potential donors that their contributions would benefit the youth basketball team and/or help provide school supplies to underprivileged children, according to the report.

Instead, the mayor used the donations for personal expenses, including luxury clothing, pricey meals and trips that had nothing to do with the team, authorities told the paper. ... Rest of story

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Wonder if he is related to Andrew Gillum.  Not inclined to look into that but someone might be.
