Detroit Duo Stole $12M in Student Aid Amid Biden Administration Oversight Failures | The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov

Federal prosecutors in Michigan have charged two residents of Detroit for their roles in separate schemes that collectively swindled the Federal Student Aid program out of over $12 million. These developments were announced by U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon and serve as a stark reminder of how programs aimed at supporting education can be manipulated when proper oversight falters.

The first individual, Brandon Robinson, 41, is accused of masterminding a massive financial aid scam that stands as one of the most extensive in recent history. Investigators allege that Robinson led an operation involving more than 1,200 fictional students—“straw students”—whose details were exploited to submit fraudulent financial aid applications across over 100 educational institutions in 24 states.

Between 2015 and early 2024, this alleged scheme enabled Robinson to fraudulently obtain more than $16 million in federal aid, of which approximately $10 million was disbursed. Court documents further accuse him of capitalizing on pandemic relief measures, filing over 100 fraudulent unemployment claims that cost taxpayers an additional $1 million.

Robinson was apprehended last Thursday and made his initial court appearance the same day.

The second case involves Michelle Hill, 48, who faces wire fraud charges linked to a different scheme conducted from 2015 through this year. Prosecutors assert that Hill submitted fraudulent aid applications for over 80 individuals, many associated with Wayne County Community College.

In a questionable twist, Hill is said to have completed coursework on behalf of these students to give the impression of academic progress, thus ensuring that their eligibility for federal aid was maintained. This enabled her to allegedly siphon more than $3 million in student aid, with $2.5 million actually disbursed. Hill was arrested the previous Wednesday and appeared before a federal magistrate later that day.

These cases lay bare the significant vulnerabilities inherent in federal student aid programs, which, despite years of reforms, continue to be susceptible to exploitation. Funds intended to educate legitimate students are instead misallocated into widespread fraudulent schemes lasting nearly a decade.

Officials have underscored that these charges are allegations pending proof in court; however, the magnitude of the alleged fraud renders these prosecutions among the most substantial seen in recent years.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Neal and Ryan Particka spearhead the prosecution efforts, with Robinson’s case under the scrutiny of the Department of Education, Department of Labor, and FBI, while Hill’s case is being managed by the Department of Education’s Inspector General.

If found guilty, both defendants could face significant prison sentences, restitution, and asset forfeiture.

Ultimately, this crackdown on fraud serves a dual purpose: reaffirming governmental commitment to accountability in taxpayer-funded programs and reinforcing the principle that for every dollar deceitfully obtained, a legitimate opportunity for a student is lost. Such prosecutions epitomize the seriousness with which the government intends to protect both the sanctity of education access and public trust.
