FAIRFAX, Va.—An Atlanta man has been arrested and charged with fraud after George Mason University’s men’s basketball team was forced to cancel a trip to the Bahamas earlier this year after it paid for travel that was never actually booked.
Charges against Maurice Smith, 44, the CEO of the Eugene Toriko travel agency, were unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.
