David Evette, the husband of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, has been implicated in a fraud scheme related to his previous business, Priority One Services. This summary outlines the details of the fraud, the consequences, and the current circumstances surrounding the case.
• Background: David Evette had previously served as the president of Priority One Services, a staffing agency. He met Pamela in the late 1990s while she was working as an accounting consultant, both of them having been previously married.
• Fraudulent Activities: By the mid-2000s, Evette's business partners, Karen Meetze and Wendell Shaw, noticed discrepancies in company finances and hired an investigator to look into it. The investigation revealed that Evette had been stealing funds from the company for personal use. Specifically, he was found to have taken approximately $93,934, which included 44,894 dollars in checks and additional personal financial obligations.
• Admission of Guilt: Evette admitted to diverting funds from the company into his personal accounts, acknowledging that he "knew it was wrong" and expressed remorse about his actions in a statement.
• Consequences and Settlements: A deal was struck where Evette relinquished his shares in the business and agreed not to have contact with his former partners or their customers. A former associate, Danny Cisson, helped facilitate this deal, providing the funds necessary to settle the claims against Evette.
• David Evette's Defense: When approached for comments, David Evette downplayed the situation, describing it as a simple dispute over a loan his grandmother had made to the company and emphasizing that the matter was resolved successfully with full repayment.
• Current Situation: While Pamela Evette's campaign team did not respond regarding her knowledge of the incidents, David Evette is currently serving as the president of Quality Business Solutions, a payroll firm he co-founded with Pamela.
David Evette's past involvement in fraudulent activities and his subsequent resignation from Priority One Services have come to light, raising questions about accountability. Despite his attempts to frame the issue as a minor dispute, the documents and testimony suggest significant misconduct. The impact of these revelations on Pamela Evette's political career remains to be seen, as no comments have been made from her campaign regarding her awareness of her husband’s actions.
