A Guy from California was arrested and sentenced Thursday to be held without bail for fraudulently obtaining about $9 million in coronavirus relief budget and some of the cash to play in Las Vegas.
Andrew Marnell, a 40-year-old resident of the Beverly Grove community in Los Angeles, California, allegedly filed a series of fraudulent loan programs similar to the coronavirus pandemic and earned millions of budget from the Payment Check Protection Program (PPP).
Prosecutors say he used some of the cash to place bets on the inventory market and wasted thousands of dollars at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino and gaming institutions in Las Vegas last weekend.
PPP loans were components of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, which helps millions of Americans suffering the economic effects of the pandemic.
Authorities said Marnell, who will return to court next Tuesday, faces up to 30 years in prison for bank fraud.
Meanwhile, in another news report, a 73-year-old man killed by police in Canada just hours after refusing to wear a face mask at a grocery store, the country’s public television station, CBC, reported Thursday.
The man allegedly assaulted a grocery store employee Wednesday after he was asked to follow laws about wearing face masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the CBC said, citing Ontario police.
The guy refused, according to a Minden store worker, about two hundred miles north of Toronto, and fled after the incident.
They called the police but did not prevent the suspect’s car from “out of the public interest,” they said. Instead, they used their license plate to locate their home.
Two policemen were concerned about the shooting, which was also shown through an independent investigation.
