Corado admitted to diverting $150,000 of pandemic relief funds to personal accounts in El Salvador. Casa Ruby shut down after losing an $839,460 grant from the D.C. Department of Human Services. Corado resigned in October 2022 and fled to El Salvador. However, Corado was arrested by the FBI in March 2024. #Queer Up Courts
