Three Years in Jail for Buying a Pokemon Card

[deguspice]

A man in Georgia was sentence to jail for three years in jail for wire fraud to obtain $85,000 of pandemic funds. $58,000 of the funds were used to purchase a rare "Charizard" Pokemon card.

The US Government now has possession of the card. They're well on the way to building an awesome Pokemon deck.
