Man charged with fraudulently obtaining $2M in COVID relief aid

A Nevada man charged with fraudulently obtaining nearly $2 million of federal coronavirus relief aid was remanded Friday.

Jorge Abramovs has been charged with one count of bank fraud after allegedly going through at least seven banks to apply for federal Paycheck Protection Program funds, intended for small businesses, between April and June of last year, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday.

“Financial analysis shows that Abramovs spent the money on purchases of luxury items for himself, including the purchase of a 2020 Bentley, a 2020 Tesla, and two condominiums located in Veers Towers in Las Vegas, Nevada,” the criminal complaint noted of the $1,986,737.46 would-be aid money he obtained.

The alleged fraudster used several company names and variations of the same address when applying for the funds, according to the charging document.

Those business aliases include National Investment Group, National Investment Group Corporation and National Legal Advisors In Care Of.
