乔治亚州男子骗取约125万美元疫情救助与汽车贷款：被判两年九个月监禁
美国司法部北乔治亚区联邦检察官办公室2026年11月5日宣布，乔治亚州 Fayetteville 居民 Hugh A. Brown, Jr.（35岁）当天被判联邦监禁两年零九个月，罪名是骗取约125万美元的疫情救助资金与汽车贷款。
联邦地区法官 Victoria M. Calvert 当天宣判：Brown 刑满后另须接受五年监督释放，并向小企业局（SBA）、国税局（IRS）与相关金融机构赔偿1,244,243.81美元。Brown 已于2026年6月3日就银行诈骗共谋与银行诈骗两项罪名认罪。
检方在法庭上出示的材料显示，Brown 的诈骗手法跨越五年、共有三路。2020年，他向一家联邦承保银行提交虚假工资信息与伪造的国税局税表，骗取162,500美元薪资保护计划（PPP）贷款。2022年，他又以自家公司名义虚假申报员工留任抵免（ERC），在提交虚假税表后收到七张美国财政部支票，共计644,452.98美元。
此外，自2022年2月至2025年2月，Brown 以伪造文件、虚报就业与收入信息、并以虚构车辆信息作抵押，从银行与信用社骗取近450,000美元贷款。
联邦检察官 Theodore S. Hertzberg 表示，这名被告在五年多时间里以各种贷款诈骗手法无耻地骗取联邦纳税人与金融机构的钱，其办公室将继续起诉并追究任何滥用政府救助项目者的刑责。
此案由烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）、国税局与美国邮政监察局调查，国土安全调查局（HSI）提供协助。
Georgia Man Sentenced to 2 Years 9 Months for $1.25 Million Pandemic Relief and Auto Loan Fraud
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia announced on November 5, 2026, that Hugh A. Brown, Jr., 35, of Fayetteville, Georgia, was sentenced that day to two years and nine months in federal prison for fraudulently obtaining roughly $1.25 million in pandemic relief and auto loans.
U.S. District Judge Victoria M. Calvert imposed the sentence, which includes five years of supervised release after prison and restitution of $1,244,243.81 to the Small Business Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and financial institutions. Brown pleaded guilty on June 3, 2026, to bank fraud conspiracy and bank fraud.
According to information presented in court, Brown's schemes ran for more than five years in three parts. In 2020, he applied for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan by submitting false payroll information and fake IRS tax forms to a federally insured bank, receiving a $162,500 PPP loan. In 2022, he fraudulently claimed Employee Retention Credits (ERCs) on behalf of his company and, after filing fraudulent tax returns, received seven United States Treasury checks totaling $644,452.98 in ERCs and other credits.
In addition, from at least February 2022 through February 2025, Brown obtained fraudulent bank and credit union loans worth nearly $450,000 by submitting fake documents, misrepresenting employment and income information, and providing fictitious vehicle details as loan collateral.
"This defendant shamelessly fleeced federal taxpayers and financial institutions over half a decade through various loan fraud schemes," said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. "My office will continue to prosecute and seek prison time for anyone who abuses government relief programs."
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Internal Revenue Service, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with valuable assistance from Homeland Security Investigations.
