“An Oakland man was charged with mail fraud and tax evasion over his alleged scheme to defraud a nonprofit for children where he worked as executive director, and pocketing a donation from NBA superstar Stephen Curry, according to federal prosecutors. Howard Solomon, 38, appeared in federal district court in Oakland on Monday to waive indictment by a grand jury. He is charged with one count of mail fraud and four counts of tax evasion for his alleged scheme to defraud the East Oakland Boxing Association, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California said in a statement. Based on criminal information filed on Feb. 26, Solomon served as the executive director of the East Oakland Boxing Association from 2017 until April 2021. … Federal prosecutors said Solomon managed daily operations, solicited contributions and fundraising, managed program and staff, oversaw budget and finances, and community outreach for the nonprofit.” (03/04/25)
