Lakisha Swope, 43, of Alpharetta, and Treisha Pearson, 49, of Brookhaven, are each facing charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering, according to the Northern District of Georgia’s Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt Erskine. Swope and Pearson were both indicted Feb. 24, Erskine said in a news release.

According to Erskine’s office, the two women created fake PPP loan applications for multiple businesses that totaled more than $5 million. The applications contained false information about the total number of people employed by the businesses and amount of monthly payroll, Erskine said.
