The man was awarded $85,000, $55,789 of which he spent on a "first-edition, shadowless and holographic Charizard card with a 9.5 gem mint rating," reports Polygon. Oudomsine pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and will face three years in federal prison with no parole.
Oudomsine has also been fined $10k and ordered to pay restitution totalling $85k. He will serve three more years of supervised release once his prison sentence comes full circle.
Philip Wislar, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, said: "Covid-19 disaster relief loans are issued by the government to help businesses struggling to survive during a pandemic, not to use for trivial collectible items.

"This sentence highlights the FBI's commitment to aggressively pursue anyone who would abuse taxpayer dollars and divert them from citizens who desperately need them."
The priceless Charizard is now in possession of the prosecutors.
