Michael A. Green, Non-Profit Embezzlement, Missouri 2024

KANSAS CITY, MO – Michael A. Green, 50, of Kansas City, Missouri, is facing federal charges after allegedly running a cynical scheme that preyed on individuals trying to rebuild their lives after incarceration. A federal grand jury returned a five-count indictment Wednesday, accusing Green of falsely claiming his non-profit, Kansas City Community Source, Inc. (KCCS), employed convicted felons on federal supervised release – all for a price.

The indictment details a calculated operation where Green allegedly provided fake paystubs and employment verification to individuals under court supervision. These individuals, attempting to satisfy employment requirements of their release, presented the fabricated documents to federal probation officers. When officers followed up with KCCS to verify employment, Green allegedly confirmed the false claims, perpetuating the deception.

But the ruse didn’t stop there. According to prosecutors, KCCS didn’t actually *employ* anyone. Green allegedly charged a fee for this service, essentially selling a false narrative of employment. He reportedly fabricated not only paystubs but also fraudulent state driver’s licenses, adding another layer of criminal activity to the scheme. This wasn’t about rehabilitation; it was about exploitation.

Green is specifically charged with three counts of making false statements to probation officers relating to three separate individuals. He also faces one count of transferring a false identification document – the fraudulent driver’s license – and one count of providing false documents to a probation officer. The indictment paints a picture of a man willing to profit from the vulnerability of those trying to get their lives back on track.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Blackwood is prosecuting the case, which was built on an investigation by IRS-Criminal Investigation and the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. While the indictment lays out serious allegations, it’s crucial to remember these are accusations at this stage. Green is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a federal court of law.

The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case as it develops. This isn’t just about paperwork and legal maneuvering; it’s about a breach of trust and a callous disregard for the system designed to help people reintegrate into society. The full indictment will be available through the U.S. Department of Justice website.
