Feds say student aid scammers stole more than $12 million

Federal investigators say two Detroiters created separate fraud schemes to bilk more than $12 million from the U.S. Department of Education through bogus applications for student aid.

Brandon Lamar Robinson, 41, and Michelle Hill, 48, are charged with wire fraud for what investigators say were years-long fraud schemes that relied on identity theft and, in some cases, willing participants who shared in the proceeds of the scam.
