The seemingly unfettered faucet of funds that the federal government turned on for business owners to sustain their companies during the COVID-19 era has lead to thousands of people being indicted for fraud of the highest order. Here at BOSSIP, we’ve reported on dozens of people who have taken ill-gotten taxpayer money to cop cribs, cars, and all types of luxury items. Franklin Sanit’s cocaine empire ain’t got s#!t on these folks who are siphoning skrilla to illegally level up their broke-a$$ lives. Now, here’s a story about a criminal cash-grabber who had no interest in Lambos or Louis Vuitton but he’s most certainly no better than his luxurious grand larceny cohorts.
According to the NY Post, 57-year-old former pizza shop owner Dana McIntyre is being charged by the United States Attorney’s office in Boston of illegally obtaining $600,000 in PPP loans to buy, wait for it…an alpaca farm. If that isn’t an American Gangster then we don’t know what is. McIntyre told the feds that he had 50 employees at Rasta Pasta Pizza in Beverly, Massachusetts. He never even had ten.
Soon as the money hit his account, McIntyre sold the shop and moved to Vermont where he did buy two cars but not before buying several alpacas and a farm to house them. How he thought he’d get away with this, we’re not “QWHITE” sure. He’s now facing one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering.
When asked for a comment about the case, McIntyre’s attorney Jason Stelmack shared in a statement:
“My client denies the allegation and will have further comment at a later date.”
The PPP scams are getting wilder by the minute!
Back in March, we reported on a similar ordeal with a woman from Houston, Texas by the name of LaDonna Wiggins who was indicted for stealing $3.7 million dollars in PPP cash to purchase not one, but two homes, multiple vehicles, and a bevy of lavish luxury items.
If convicted, LaDonna could potentially spend up to 30 years in the hoosegow.
Was it really worth it?
