Federal prosecutors accuse a Florida man of fraudulently obtaining nearly $4,000,000 from the Paycheck Protection Program and using some of the money to buy a Lamborghini sports car.

The bank approved $3.9 million in loans. Within a few days of receiving the money, prosecutors said, Hines bought a 2020 Lamborghini Huracán, which he registered jointly in his name and the name of one of his companies.

But in the following weeks, court documents said, he made no payroll payments and, instead, bought luxury goods and services at Miami retailers and resorts. Hines appeared briefly Monday before U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge John J. O'Sullivan to be formally notified of the charges. A lawyer appointed to represent him at the hearing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The Paycheck Protection Program was enacted as part of the CARES Act coronavirus relief bill, which Congress passed andThe program provides forgivable loans to small businesses that keep their employees on the payroll.
