Remember Andrew Gillum? Ran against Ron DeSantis in 2018? Crystal meth?
The 21-count indictment, which was unsealed Wednesday following his arrest, accuses Gillum and another associate, Sharon Janet Lettman-Hicks, with conspiracy, wire fraud and making false statements, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
Federal prosecutors allege that between 2016 and 2019, Gillum and Lettman-Hicks, a consultant and one of Gillum’s closest advisers, solicited and obtained money from people “through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose,” according to the news release. Instead, that money was diverted to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who paid Gillum “disguised as payroll payments … for his personal use.”
Since the indictment is fresh (thanks to Mike the Musicologist for letting me know about it) there’s not a whole lot more information beyond that. If I see any interesting updates, I’ll add them here.
A druggie, switch hitter, who grabbed some cash. Perfect material for the DNC. I wonder who he pissed off…..
“I wonder who he pissed off…..”
Well, he did run against DeSantis.
“Ayo, lesson here, Bey. You come at the king, you best not miss.”
