Man uses COVID-19 relief money to buy Pokemon cards
The federal government of the United States of America is investigating Vinath Oudomsine for the matter. As you all know, COVID-19 has hit hard globally and over in the US, the government has allowed business owners to apply for relief in order to help their businesses.
Oudomsine was approved for the relief fund where he received $85,000 to help finance his company. It is said that instead of doing that, he has used more than half of the money to purchase a Pokemon card.
He previously reported that the company consists of up to 10 different people in total with an annual gross revenue of $235,000. That being said, the company details were said to be a scam and he was just looking to get some easy cash to his wallet.

There’s no concrete details at the moment on what will happen to him but officials has said that he could face 20 years in prison as well as a $250,000 fine.
