Between March 31 and May 8, 2020, April R. Falgoust of Prairieville, Louisiana, filed five fraudulent EIDL applications in the names of five different companies. They were LA Fitness & Tan LLC, FalgouStrong Fitness LLC, Boss Lady Suits, Forever the Baddest Makeup, and Hemphire Seed & Nutrients.

The SBA disbursed approximately $143,800 to her. The total intended loss, counting applications that were submitted but never funded, ran to about $473,000.1
Falgoust pleaded guilty to wire fraud. Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly D. Dick sentenced her to 18 months in federal prison, three years of supervised release, $147,925.69 in restitution to the SBA, and forfeiture of an additional $143,800 in proceeds.1
