Federal prosecutors alleged under the False Claims Act that Lisa Bloom's firm made false claims to obtain financial assistance from the Small Business Administration, misusing PPP funds meant for payroll.
U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Martin Estrada stated, 'Attorneys have a duty to follow the law to the letter, especially when it comes to government programs aiding individuals and businesses impacted by COVID-19.'
Despite settling, neither Bloom nor her husband admitted guilt, maintaining their innocence against accusations of providing false information to acquire pandemic relief funds.
Lisa Bloom previously gained recognition for representing victims of high-profile cases, including Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Cosby, before controversially representing Harvey Weinstein, which she later regretted.
