A Georgia man who pleaded guilty to spending a COVID-19 disaster relief loan on a Pokemon trading card has been sentenced to three years in prison.
- Federal prosecutors said Vinath Oudomsine was also ordered to pay back the $85,000 loan.
- Oudomsine was charged with wire fraud after prosecutors say he lied on an application to help small businesses struggling through the pandemic.
- Investigators later found that he used nearly $58,000 of the loan to buy a Pokemon trading card.
- The card - which depicts "Charizard" - had to be turned over to authorities, as well.
- Have you ever loaned money to a friend/family member to help pay bills during a tough time, only to find out they used it for something "fun" instead?
