Orange County Attorney General Todd Spitzer and State Rep. Cottie Petrie-Norris announced two business owners had filed a complaint against two business owners who operated in Garden Grove. They filed false unemployment claims with the California Employment Development Agency (EDD), defrauding California of nearly $500,000 in unemployment benefits, and file unemployment benefits fraud on behalf of eight other inmates.

Spitzer also announced charges against eight others, including six inmates serving time in state prisons, for defrauding California taxpayers of tens of thousands of dollars. Two of the six prisoners were convicted of murder for life, claiming that the outbreak affected their ability to work and that they were in fact serving sentences up to life imprisonment.
