Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer on Monday, Jan. 25, announced three criminal cases involving $500,000-plus in fraudulent unemployment claims while urging a “massive response” by state officials to a suspected wave of theft across the state of money meant for those out of work because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 10 suspects include two men accused of opening a Garden Grove business in order to file false unemployment claims, as well as an Anaheim tax preparer and an Irvine woman accused of helping prisoners, including convicted murderers, improperly receive unemployment benefits.
