David Duren, a/k/a Dawud Hakiem Duren, 48, was indicted in a New Hampshire federal court on Tuesday, March 5, on charges of wire fraud and federal program fraud, the US Attorney for New Hampshire said. 

Duren was a program manager at a healthcare provider in Nashua, New Hampshire, and oversaw a $750,000 program funded by a Staff Sergeant Fox Suicide Prevention Grant. The money was earmarked for treatments and services for veterans at risk of killing themselves. 

The healthcare provider where he worked hired the company E3 at Duren's recommendation to help with that goal, the prosecutor said. However, they did not know that E3 and Dr. Michael Rapp, the man who reportedly ran the company, were made up. 

Duren pretended to be Dr. Rapp on phone calls and emails. He swindled $50,000 from the fund and tried to take another $25,000 from the program using fake invoices before he was caught, the prosecutor said. 

That money went to a Royal Caribbean cruise, payments to models at the adult site OnlyFans, and personal purchases, investigators said. 

Duren faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted on both counts of fraud, according to federal sentencing guidelines.
