Although not everyone’s childhood, Pokemon had a very attractive universe, especially for 90s children. In addition to watching cartoons, the children of this period played Pokemun’s games and collected their cards. However, the man in the event we are going to talk about took this culture to a very ‘advanced’ level.
Again, a man from the USA, who we guessed to be a kid in the 90s, spent about $60,000 on a Pokemon card. However, this is not the interesting part of our news. The person used the money he borrowed on the grounds of COVID-19 for this exchange.
It is unknown which card:
Vinath Oudomsine, who lives in Dublin, Georgia, USA, applied for a loan for COVID-19 treatment and other pandemic equipment on behalf of a workplace with 10 employees in July 2020. The man, whose application was accepted, received a loan of $ 85,000 from Small Business Administration. The man, who spent 57 thousand dollars of this money for a rare Pokemon card, pushed the limits of the term “boy man”. It is not yet known what the card in question is.
It turned out that Oudomsine, who used the loan irrespective of the reason given, also lied about the number of employees and annual income of the workplace when applying for the loan. The man, who is on trial for the crime of ‘money transfer fraud’, will face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to 250 thousand dollars, as quoted by the prosecutor.
