Gotta catch ‘em all? Federal prosecutors believe they have caught a Georgia man they say improperly used some of his COVID-19 loan money.
Vinath Oudomsine, of Dublin, is accused of using more than $57,000 of it to buy a rare Pokemon card, prosecutors said.
Oudomsine was charged Tuesday with one count of wire fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia, The Macon Telegraph reported. Prosecutors said Oudomsine lied about how many employees he had and the revenue his business generated when he filed for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan during the pandemic, the newspaper reported.
If convicted, Oudomsine faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines, prosecutors said.
When contacted on Thursday, Oudomsine referred questions to his attorneys, WMAZ reported. Defense attorneys declined to comment in a statement to McClatchy News.

They can probably make him sell it and make most of that money back, possibly even more.
