Windermere resident Shawn Ray Murnan was sentenced to 33 months in prison after pleading guilty to four counts of bank fraud.
According to U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson, Murnan admitted to falsifying several applications for CARES Act funds between April 2020 and October 2021.
The CARES Act funding was established in 2020 to provide emergency financial assistance to help businesses that were disrupted by COVID-19.
These applications falsely claimed several employees and payroll expenses.
Murnan requested over $2 million through these fraudulent applications and successfully obtained around $1.6 million.
Murnan's 33 months of sentencing will be followed by five years of supervised release.
