Ex-Federal Employee from Waldorf Admits Guilt in Fabricating Over 200 Resumes to Secure Government Jobs

Tremayne Matthews, 38, of Waldorf, Maryland, admitted his wrongdoings in court. He pleaded guilty to hiding important information from the federal government, ending his deception. His years-long deception involved fabricating over two hundred resumes to snag federal jobs, followed by a litany of counterfeit affidavits when his scheme came under scrutiny, as per the

U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The conviction was disclosed by a consortium of oversight, including U.S. Attorney Matthews Graves and leaders of multiple Inspector General offices such as HHS-OIG Special Agent in Charge Marcus L. Sykes; DOC-OIG Special Agent in Charge Duane Townsend; and TIGTA Special Agent Andrew McKay. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan set the stage for sentencing with a hearing earmarked for May 29, 2025, despite Matthews’ recent guilty plea, a date that looms over what’s left of his credibility.

According to the

U.S. Attorney’s Office

, Matthews’ fabrications began in November 2018 and sustained their momentum until November 2022. His applications painted a picture of qualifications he did not possess, repurposing segments from a colleague’s resume. These illusions netted him positions that carried a six-figure salary.

When the Office of Personnel Management began investigating his past, Matthews doubled down on his lies. He created fake affidavits and email exchanges to support his claims, but the documents were all fabricated—missing signatures, fake notary stamps, and emails that never existed. He even set up a fake email address to make his deception seem more convincing.

The fraud was uncovered by a joint effort from the HHS-OIG, DOC-OIG, and TIGTA, leading to Matthews’ prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher R. Howland will lead the case, holding Matthews accountable for his fraudulent actions.
