Judge Steven Stambaugh, indicted on 31 counts including fraud and witness tampering, allegedly instructed employees to falsely claim layoffs and collect unemployment benefits.
Allegations against Judge Stambaugh highlight a disturbing abuse of power, as he allegedly used his judicial position to orchestrate fraudulent claims for government financial aid.
The U.S. Department of Justice noted that Stambaugh's actions aimed to unjustly enrich himself while simultaneously manipulating his employees into complying with unlawful requests.
Suspended without pay since October 9, 2023, Stambaugh faces serious charges including mail and wire fraud as he mismanaged unemployment benefits amidst the pandemic.
