Andrew Brown is the Benefits Coordinator for the Law Enforcement Employees Benevolent Association (LEEBA) in New York. On July 22, 2021, he was indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, as well as wire fraud itself. He is suspected to have stolen $500,000 via wire fraud. The money came from union dues that were forcibly taken from workers and are supposed to go toward improving working environments for employees. Instead, it often times ends up being stolen by the union bosses themselves and used for their own benefit.

From the Department of Labor:

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Andrew Brown […] was charged by indictment with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud of $500,000 and one count of wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1349 and 18 U.S.C. 1343, respectively. The charges follow an investigation by the OLMS New York District Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation.
