A 39-year-old Richmond man has been charged with fraudulently obtaining nearly $600,000 in financial aid at several Texas colleges and universities, according to a U.S. attorney.

Finnih started the alleged scheming back in 2017. Charging documents say he unlawfully obtained financial aid funds for over 30 alleged students at eight colleges and universities in Texas.

The indictment alleges he then obtained the financial aid refunds through an electronic transfer.
