Wealthy Seattle couple get 18 months for welfare fraud

Having previously pleaded guilty to related offenses, chiropractor David Mark Silverstein and longtime partner Lyudmila Shimonova were caught defrauding federal assistance programs from the Lake Washington home they shared. Shimonova was using federal dollars to pay Silverstein thousands of dollars in "rent" during the eight year fraud.Silversteen, 60, was also fined $30,000 and must serve three pandora charms on sale years of supervision after he is released. Shimonova, 53, was ordered to pay more than $261,000 in restitution and must also serve three years of supervised release.Federal prosecutors say Silversteen has already paid $33,970: $160,000 in restitution and more than $173,000 in civil penalties. Attorney's Office. Attorney Jenny Durkan said in a statement that Silversteen and Shimonova "enriched themselves by victimizing the most vulnerable members of the community. Today they are held accountable."To secure $262,000 in benefits over that time, Shimonova and Silverstein hid their relationship from the government and presented pandora charms outlet her as a disabled single mother pandora sale struggling to raise two children. Prosecutors note Silverstein went so far as to raise Shimonova's "rent" at one point   pandora sale garnering even more housing assistance money. Attorney C. Seth Wilkinson argued the couple's crimes were all the more egregious because they pandora jewelry outlet committed them while living very well."The defendants committed these crimes out of greed, not need," Wilkinson told the court."Persons who defraud social programs are commonly impoverished people who engage in fraud to marginally improve a desperate living situation," he continued. "But David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova were the opposite of this: they lived a very comfortable lifestyle and cannot point to any reason, other than greed, why they perpetrated the fraud."Prior to a sentencing hearing Friday morning, Wilkinson asked that Shimonova be sentenced to 21 months in federal prison. Silverstein, he argued, should be sentenced to 18 months in prison.Shimonova's attorney suggested her client should serve three months in prison and nine months on home detention. For his part, Silverstein argued he should receive six months of home detention instead of a prison term; he has already paid $334,000 to settle a civil lawsuit filed against him by the government.Federal investigators raided the couple's Lake Washington home in late November, looking for evidence that they had bilked government assistance programs for years."All of these programs are need based programs, meaning that a person can qualify for the pandora jewelry 70% off clearance programs only if he or she demonstrates that his or her income or resources fall below a certain level," a Department of Housing and Urban Development special agent previously told the court. "The investigation has developed substantial evidence that the subjects defrauded these programs by misrepresenting and concealing material information."Investigators claimed Shimonova received more than $100,000 in federal housing assistance paid to her "landlord"   Silverstein  pandora sale  for rent on the Island Drive South home they shared. Shimonova also collected additional money through a federal program for destitute, disabled Americans and state programs meant to feed needy families.Writing the court, Wilkinson noted Shimonova and Silverstein both appeared to be enjoying their wealth.Silverstein drove a Jaguar sedan and docked a boat at their lakefront home, while Shimonova owned two pieces of jewelry worth nearly $30,000 combined. The couple traveled extensively during the fraud, visiting France, Turkey, the Caribbean and Hawaii.Attorneys for the government filed a civil lawsuit aimed at recovering money they claim was taken from government coffers by fraud. The criminal charge was filed against the couple on May 8; they pleaded guilty days later.A trained economist from Uzbekistan, Shimonova arrived in the United States in 1993. Her attorney claimed she worked as a seamstress during two years in New York before moving to Seattle's Seward Park neighborhood in 1995.
