Memorandum Opinion — United States v. Nicholas Perkins (M.D. Pa.)

Summary

A memorandum opinion dated November 7, 2023 in United States of America v. Nicholas Perkins, No. 4:22-CR-00246, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, filed as Document 38 by Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann. It addresses a four-count indictment charging wire fraud, an unlawful monetary transaction, bank fraud and a false loan application over a $465,786 PPP loan to Well Versed Oilfield Services, LLC through Northwest Bank, which the government alleges was partly used to buy a vacation home. The court holds that fraud requires deception at the time the promise is made and, because the government concedes the indictment does not allege the loan was obtained by fraudulent means, dismisses Count I and therefore Count II. The motion to suppress Google email account records is denied.
