Federal agents arrested a Westwood man Friday morning, accusing him of fraudulently taking more than $23 million in public money that was supposed to help house and feed the homeless.
Alexander Soofer, 42, has been charged with wire fraud. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is also charging Soofer with 18 felony counts, accusing him of defrauding the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
“Self-dealing government funds intended for food and housing for homeless residents of L.A. County, including families and children, is despicable,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said. “The defendant called his company ‘Abundant Blessings,’ but the only abundant blessings he gave were to himself.
