Entrepreneur Sentenced To Prison For COVID Fraud

(Portland, OR) -- A local entrepreneur has been sentenced to federal prison for COVID-relief fraud. Federal prosecutors say Peter Blood ran solar energy companies, but only had two employees and paid less than 10-thousand dollars in quarterly wages. In his applications for COVID-relief, he claimed to have 10 employees with a monthly payroll of 116-thousand dollars. He got loans for over 600-thousand dollars. He spent more than half of the money on a custom, military-style truck he outfitted into a camper. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year prison and must pay 600-thousand dollars to the United States and 590-thousand dollars in restitution.
