In Criminal by Greensboro Attorney

Criminal Lawyer Greensboro, NC

The short version

A couple in their mid-20’s are facing a very long time in prison after receiving COVID-19 benefits from the federal government according to a criminal lawyer Greensboro, NC. The couple submitted almost 20 applications to get money from loans for business around the pandemic. They applied to the Small Business Administration, Economic Injury Disaster Loans and Paycheck Protection Program. All of these programs were created under the CARES Act according to a Greensboro criminal lawyer.

The husband was an enlisted member of the Air Force, and the wife was unemployed at the time of the applications. Our criminal lawyers in Greensboro NC were advised that they claimed to be owners of struggling businesses during the pandemic. The investigation thus far has revealed at least 5 businesses to our criminal defense lawyer.

The only way to get approved for some of these loans was to be an owner of a small business. Our criminal lawyer Greensboro was told that they submitted over 20 applications and were able to get back $5.1 million. Our Greensboro criminal lawyers were told they purchased luxury items with the money including a $38K Rolex. Our federal criminal lawyers in Greensboro were advised they are now facing over 30 years in prison and scheduled to be sentenced in July of this year.
