Lindsay Lohan’s uncle, Paul Sullivan, was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of mail fraud involving funds targeted for post-9/11 small-business relief.
Sullivan, 47 was arraigned Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Long Island and released on $250,000 bond.
In July 2002, Sullivan had applied for a $1.5 million loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The complaint states that Sullivan’s company, the Ropa Group Corp. said it was the exclusive agent for the Hyundai Motor Co. to the United Nations. The government reportedly granted Ropa a loan of $646,900, Sullivan cashed checks in the amounts $70,300, $80,000 and $61,300. However, the company’s debtors were never actually paid and the endorsements on the checks to the debtors had been forged.
“Everything is fine,” Sullivan told New York's Daily News. “It's a misunderstanding.”
