You’ve got to hand it to Tiffany Brown, who once described herself on her Twitter page as a “Diva, Mogul, Author.” She has unbridled moxie and a bottomless reservoir of delusional self-assuredness.
She’s also the businesswoman who was convicted last week in federal court of defrauding the federal government of FEMA funds.
Brown, who made her name as an Atlanta dress designer and successful entrepreneur, was convicted last week on 32 counts of fraud, theft and money laundering. A jury found she scammed the government as it responded to Hurricane Maria devastating Puerto Rico in 2017.
How did she do it? Well, she signed on with FEMA to deliver 30 million meals — for a cool $156 million.
That she was a one-woman operation with no real experience in that field? No matter.
