CASE UPDATE from @​FBICleveland: Georgia Sisters Plead Guilty to Roles in $2M Pandemic Benefits Fraud Scheme According to allegations in court documents, Joirean Creel, 35, and Adriane Creel, 24, were both hired to work as remote teleservices representatives through a subcontractor for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. As part of their jobs, they were given access to an online system to process and manage unemployment benefits for the claimants. They were supposed to use the system only for their job providing customer service to claimants by phone. Instead, the two women abused their positions and system access to solicit and accept bribes and kickbacks that caused $1.96 million in benefits to be paid.
