The owner of a Massachusetts pizza parlor lied about the number of employees he had to fraudulently obtain more than $660,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds, then used some of the money to buy and stock an alpaca farm in Vermont, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

Dana McIntyre, 57, of Grafton, Vermont, was arrested Tuesday and charged with wire fraud and money laundering, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Boston.

He is scheduled to appear remotely in U.S. District Court in Boston later Tuesday.

If I had gotten $660,000, I would have moved to the Philippines.

Case No. 1 of why socialism doesn’t work. Corruption is always in the system. How much has been paid out in fraud payments?

How many people connected to government have gamed the system?

There is always more corruption.

Alpaca are fashion pets for rich tax evaders. Where I live they keep one or two on their “ranch” to keep the agricultural tax status of their huge estates.

There wasn’t much verification to get a loan in order to speed up relief to businesses.

The paperwork is scrutinized when forgiving the loan many months later. That’s why all these con artists are being found now
