                        Small Business Administration

      18.   The United States Small Business Administration ("SBA'') was an

executive-branch agency of the United States government that provided support to

entrepreneurs and small businesses. The mission of the SBA was to maintain and

strengthen the nation's economy by enabling the establishment and viability of small

businesses and by assisting in the economic recovery of communities after disasters.

      14.   As part of this effort, _the SBA facilitated loans through banks, credit

unions, and other lenders. These loans had government-backed guarantees.

                      The Paycheck Protection Program

      15.   The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was

a federal law enacted in or around March 2020 and designed to provide emergency

financial assistance to the millions of Americans who were suffering the economic

effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. One source of relief provided by the

CARES Act was the authorization of up to $849 billion in forgivable loans to small

businesses for job retention and certain other expenses, through a program referred

to as the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP''). In or around April 2020, Congress

authorized over $300 billion in additional PPP funding.

      16.   In order to obtain a PPP loan, a qualifying business was required to

submit a PPP loan application, signed by an authorized representative of the

business. The PPP loan application required the business (through its authorized

representative) to acknowledge the program rules and make certain ~ative

certifications in order to be eligible to obtain the PPP loan.    In the PPP loan


                                         4

Case 5:20-cr-00436-BO *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 09/23/20 Page 4 of 17
application, the small business (through its authorized representative) was required

to state its average monthly payroll expenses and its number of employees, among

other things. These figures were used to calculate the 8.Dlount of money the small

business was eligible to receive under the PPP. In addition, businesses applying for

a PPP loan were required to provide documentation showing their payroll expenses.

      17.   A PPP loan application was processed by a participating financial

institution (''lender"). If a PPP loan application was approved, the participating

lender would fund the loan using its own monies, which were guaranteed by the SBA.

Data from the application, including information about the borrower, the total

amount of the loan, and the listed number of employees, was transmitted by the

lender to the SBA in the course of processing the loan.

      18.    PPP loan proceeds were required to be used by the business on certain

permis~ible expenses, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities.

Under the applicable PPP rules and guidance, the inte~est and principal on the PPP

loan was eligible for forgiveness if the business was eligible for the PPP loan it

received, spent the loan proceeds on these permissible expense items within a

designated period of time, and used a certain portion.of the loan proceeds for payroll

expenses.

                             The Scheme to Defraud

      23.   TRISTAN BISHOP PAN d~vised a scheme and artifice to defraud the

United States, through the SBA, and various financial institutions, including Bank 1

and Bank 2, by: (1) falsifying PPP loan applications, forms, and other documents

("fraudulent loan applicationsj; (2) submitting and causing to be submitted

fraudulent loan applications to Company 1, Company 2, and others in order to obtain

funds through the PPP; and (3) receiving· and obtaining payments and benefits from

Bank 1, Bank 2, and others based on the fraudulent loan applications submitted.

                             Purpose of the Scheme

      24.    The purpose of the scheme and artifice was for the defendant to unjustly

enrich himself and others through the submission of the fraudulent loan applications.

                       Manner and Means of the Scheme

      25.   The manner and means by which PAN sought to accomplish the objects

and purpose of the scheme and artifice included, among others:

                    Pan Insurance Agency PPP Application

      26.   On or about May 11, 2020, PAN electronically submitted and caused to

be submitted a false and fraudulent PPP application in the name of Pan Insurance

Agency, from Wake County, North C~rolina to Company 1, located in Fulton County,

Georgia, seeking approximately $680,627 in PPP funds ("Pan Insurance Agency PPP

application"). PAN signed the Pan Insurance Agency PPP application and certified


                                         7

Case 5:20-cr-00436-BO *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 09/23/20 Page 7 of 17
that the application and all information provided therein, as well as the supporting

documents and forms, were true and accurate. Among other things, PAN certified

that the funds would be used "to retain workers and maintain payroll," as well as for

making other permissible expenses.

      27.    In the Pan Insurance Agency PPP application, PAN falsely represented

that the company had 37 employees and that its average monthly payroll was

approximately $272,251. In addition, PAN submitted a document that purported to

be the company's Employer's Quarterly Tax and Wage Report ("Tax and Wage

Report") for the first quarter of 2020 filed with the North Carolina Department of

Commerce. On the purported Tax and Wage Report, PAN falsely represented that,

in the first quarter of 2020, Pan Insurance Agency had made payments to 24 separate

employees.

   · 28.     Moreover, PAN submitted a document that purported to be the

company's Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements ("IRS Form W-3") for 2019. On

the purported IRS Form W-3, PAN falsely represented that, in 2019, PAN had paid

Pan Insurance Agency's employees approximately $912,815.67 in wages, tips, and

other compensation, and that he had withheld more than $133,000 in federal income,

Social Security, and Medicare taxes.

      29.    As PAN knew at the time that he submitted the Pan Insurance Agency

PPP application, Pan Insurance Agency neither employed the number of individuals

identified nor did it incur the monthly payroll expenses reported in the application.

Moreover, Pan Insurance Agency had not paid the wages or withheld the taxes


                                         8

Case 5:20-cr-00436-BO *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 09/23/20 Page 8 of 17
identified in the purported Tax and Wage Report and IRS Form W-3. The purported

Tax and Wage Report and IRS Form W-3 that PAN provided in support of the

company's PPP application were fraudulent.

      30.   Based on PAN's material misrepresentations set forth in the fraudulent

Pan Insurance Agency PPP application and supporting documents described in

Paragraphs 26 through 29, on or about May 11, 2020, Company 1 approved the Pan

Insurance Agency PPP application, and, on or about May 13, 2020, Bank 1 disbursed

approximately $680,627 in loan benefits to account no. x7224, held by PAN at Bank

                        White Walker PPP Application

      31.   On or about June 12, 2020, PAN electronically submitted and caused to

be submitted a false and fraudulent PPP application in the name of White Walker,

from Wake County, North Carolina to Company 2, located in Utah County, Utah,

seeking approximately $33,600 in PPP funds ("White Walker PPP application,,).

PAN signed the White Walker PPP application and certified that the application and

all information provided therein, as well as the supporting documents and forms,

were true and accurate. Among other things, PAN certified that the funds would be

used "to retain workers and maintain payroll," as well as for making other

permissible expenses.

      32.   In the White Walker PPP application, PAN falsely represented that the

company had 9 employees and that White Walker's average monthly payroll was

approximately $13,475. In addition, PAN submitted a document that purported to


                                        9

Case 5:20-cr-00436-BO *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 09/23/20 Page 9 of 17
    be the company's Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment Tax Return ("IRS Form

    940") for 2019. On the purported IRS Form 940, PAN falsely represented that, in
•
    2019, White Walker had made approximately $161,707 .06 in payments to employees.

          33.   As PAN knew at the time that he submitted the White Walker PPP

    application, White Walker neither employed the number of individuals identified nor

    did it incur the monthly payroll expenses reported in the application. Moreover,

    White Walker had not filed any IRS Form 940. The purported IRS Form 940

    submitted with the White Walker PPP application listed the company's Employer

    Identification Number ("EIN") and showed a signature date of January 81, 2020, yet

    PAN did not establish an EIN for White Walker until on or about April 2, 2020. The

    purported IRS Form 940 that PAN provided in support of the White Walker PPP

    application was fraudulent.

          84.   Based on PAN's material misrepresentations set forth in the fraudulent

    White Walker PPP application and the supporting documents described in

    Paragraphs 81 through 88, on or about June 22, 2020, Company 2 approved the White

    Walker PPP application, and, on or about June 26, 2020, Bank 2 disbursed

    approximately $83,600 in loan benefits to account no. x3586, held by PAN at Bank 3.

                                    Scope of Scheme

          35.   In addition to the Pan Insurance Agency PPP application and the White

    Walker PPP application, from in or around May 2020, and continuing through at least

    in or around July 2020, PAN submitted and caused the submission of fraudulent PPP

    applications through Company 1, Bank 1, and other financial technology companies

        36.     For the PPP application numbered one (1) above (Pan Insurance

Agency), among other things, PAN falsely certified that Pan Insurance Agency had

(A&D Pan Legacy, Pan Legacy, Digital Encryption Storage, Health Care Without
