A Florida man was busted for overstating his payroll expenses for the purposed of getting a huge PPP loan, which he immediately turned around and spent on luxury items. First, he dropped $320,000 on a Lamborghini Huracán EVO, $9,000 at a jeweler, and $5,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Other payments from the account where he deposited the PPP funds were also clearly not business expenses, including two $15,000 payments to “Mom.” (https://abc7.com/florida-man-david-hines-lamborghini-huracn-evo-ppp/6340991/)
