Information — United States v. Shawn Palmer, Middle District of Tennessee (Document 1)

Summary

An Information filed January 21, 2022 as Document 1 in United States v. Shawn Palmer, Case 3:22-cr-00026, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, charging money laundering under 18 U.S.C. § 1957 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. It alleges that Palmer, sole owner of Palmers Transportation, Inc., obtained a PPP loan through Kabbage, Inc. by falsely claiming 27 employees, an average monthly payroll of $205,748 and 2019 gross receipts of $6,744,254.12, when the company had no more than two employees. It states Kabbage deposited $514,370 on or about June 18, 2020, and that Palmer spent proceeds on vehicles including a 2016 Maserati Quattroporte. The count rests on a July 31, 2020 check for $41,611.84 for that car, and the forfeiture allegation seeks a money judgment in that amount.
