A South Florida man has pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining over $5 million in federal coronavirus loans and using some of the money to buy a Lamborghini Huracan. David Hines, of Miami, rubbed his forehead in apparent shame as he pleaded guilty to federal charges including bank fraud at a hearing Wednesday held via videoconference because of COVID-19 restrictions. He will be sentenced in April. As part of the plea, Hines acknowledged receiving $5,049,458 in federal government loans on behalf of different companies he managed, fraudulently claiming they would be used to pay employees impacted by the pandemic. Instead, he used the proceeds to go on a spending spree that included shelling out $411,725 on a Lamborghini sportscar as well as running up bills at a jewelry store and a luxury Miami Beach hotel.
