Florida Men Accused of Stealing More Than $100 Million Meant for People With Special Needs
"Twenty-five years ago, Leo J. Govoni of Clearwater, Fla., co-founded a nonprofit organization meant to help people with special needs manage their funds. But he and an accountant were using it as a “personal piggy bank” to steal more than $100 million, federal prosecutors said on Monday.
Mr. Govoni is accused of using some of the money to fund a brewery, to travel by private jet, to buy real estate and to pay personal debts, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida said in a statement.
In an indictment unsealed on Monday, Mr. Govoni, 67, and the accountant, John L. Witeck, 60, Tampa, Fla., were each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, three counts of mail fraud, six counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering."
