What did the information allege about the application?

That the application listed McCoy as the owner of Silver Cup and stated that the company had 12 employees and an average monthly payroll of $95,000.00, when it had no employees and no payroll, and that it enclosed IRS Forms 941 for 2019 created for the purpose of the application and never submitted to the IRS.

Why was the judgment amended in 2026?

On July 14, 2025 the United States moved under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36 and 18 U.S.C. § 3664(j)(1) for an order directing the clerk to amend the victim list to replace the payee Ready Capital with the Small Business Administration for the full amount of restitution owed. The court ordered the amendment on January 7, 2026, and an amended judgment as to the victim list only was entered January 8, 2026.

What forfeiture orders were entered?

A consent judgment and order of forfeiture (money judgment) with a preliminary order of forfeiture was entered March 15, 2022, partially amended May 3, 2022, with a final order of forfeiture as to specific property on August 10, 2022.
