Mayor of Atlantic City resigns after pleading guilty to defrauding youth basketball club out of $87,000.
FILE - In an April 23, 2019 file photo, Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam Jr. speaks at the Atlantic City Implementation Plan. Frank Gilliam Jr. Gilliam Jr. pleaded guilty in federal court in Camden, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019 to wire fraud, admitting he defrauded a basketball club out of $87,000.
“When a scheme depletes charity for children, it’s unconscionable,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Gregory Ehrie. “But when the fraud is perpetrated by someone the public trusts, it damages the community’s confidence in their public servants. This defendant betrayed the trust of his community and of people who wanted to improve the lives of children.”
U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said Gilliam solicited donations while a member of the City Council and then as mayor under the false pretense that they were for the youth basketball team or for school supplies for poor children. “Atlantic City is a strong and resilient community that is on the rise after years of stagnation,” Murphy said. “This progress can only continue with leadership whose sole focus is on what he or she can do for the betterment of all residents of Atlantic City and not for themselves.”
