Indonesian Airlines fraudster indicted

Jon C. Cooper, 64, of Washington, DC, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he embezzled $1 million from Indonesian Airlines, filed a false tax return concealing the embezzled income, and committed mortgage fraud. Cooper initially was indicted in September 2012 by a grand jury in the US District Court for the District of Columbia on charges of conspiracy, first-degree fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. He has pled not guilty to those charges. Yesterday a grand jury returned a superseding indictment with those charges as well as additional allegations, including new counts of bank fraud,
