Allison Baver claimed her entertainment company had more than 400 employees when it had none, prosecutors said.

A former U.S. Olympic speed skating champion has been indicted on charges that she fraudulently obtained $10 million in COVID-19 relief aid and used part of the money to help finance a film made by “Lord of the Rings” star Elijah Wood.

But prosecutors say the company, Allison Baver Entertainment, had no employees and no monthly payroll. Nonetheless, Baver’s applications were approved and she received a payment of just under $10 million, according to court documents. Prosecutors say Baver used $150,000 of the money to help finance a film called “No Man of God,” that was produced by Wood’s production outfit, Company X. The film, about the relationship between serial killer Ted Bundy and an FBI special agent, was released earlier this year and starred Wood as the FBI agent.
