Man Used Virus Relief Loan to Buy $57,000 Pokemon Card (1)

A man from Georgia was convicted for getting a loan to buy a special Pokemon card. He used more than $57,000 of the money to buy it.

A person named Vinath Oudomsine from Dublin, Georgia has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and could be sentenced to 20 years in jail.

They said that he lied about how many people he employed as well as his business’ annual revenues.

The person who borrowed money from the loan program got $85,000. He used it to buy a Pokemon trading card for $57,789.
