Background Allegations
At all times relevant to the Indictment, unless otherwise stated:

1. Defendant JORGE ABRAMOVS (“ABRAMOVS”) was a United States
citizen, residing in Las Vegas, Nevada.

2. National Investment Group Corporation (“NIGC”) was a domestic
corporation formed in the State of Nevada in 2018. Nevada Secretary of State records
identified ABRAMOVS as the President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director of NIGC until
on or about October 14, 2020, when a different individual was identified as Secretary and
Treasurer with ABRAMOVS still listed as President.

3. National Legal Advisors In Care Corp. (“NLA”) was a domestic corporation
formed in the State of Nevada in 2019. Nevada Secretary of State records identified
ABRAMOVS as the President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director of NLA as of on or
about July 1, 2019 through at least January 22, 2021. As discussed below, Abramovs
submitted loan applications on behalf of NLA and entities with similar names.

4. Financial Institutions A through G (the “Financial Institutions”) were all
financial institutions as defined by Title 18, United States Code, Section 20. Deposits at
Financial Institutions A, B, D, E, F, and G were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Fund. Deposits at Financial Institution C were insured by the National Credit Union
Share Insurance Fund.

5. ABRAMOVS controlled, and had sole signatory authority over, Financial
Institution F account ending in 9757, Financial Institution F account ending in 9732, and

Paycheck Protection Program

6. 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 are 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 $349 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”).

7. In order to obtain a PPP loan, a qualifying business submitted a PPP loan
application, which was 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 affirmative certifications in order to be
eligible to obtain the PPP loan. In the PPP loan application, the small business (through its
authorized representative) was required to state, among other things, its: (a) average
monthly payroll expenses; and (b) number of employees. These figures were used to
calculate the amount 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.

8. A PPP loan application was processed by a participating lender, such as a
financial institution. If a PPP loan application was approved, the participating lender
funded the PPP loan using its own monies. While the lender issued the PPP loan, the
Small Business Administration (“SBA”) provided a guarantee to the lender for the PPP

loan. 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.

9. PPP loan proceeds were required to be used by the business on certain
permissible expenses—payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The PPP
allowed the interest and principal on the PPP loan to be entirely forgiven if the business
spent the loan proceeds on these expense items within a designated period of time and used
a certain percentage of the PPP loan proceeds on payroll expenses.

The Scheme to Defraud

10. Beginning in or around April 2020 and continuing until at least in or around
June 2020, ABRAMOVS knowingly executed, and attempted to execute, a scheme and
artifice to obtain the money and property owned by, and under the custody and control of,
Financial Institutions, namely, Financial Institutions A-G, by means of materially false and
fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, as further described below.

Purpose of the Scheme to Defraud

11. ‘It was the purpose of the scheme for ABRAMOVS to unjustly enrich himself
and others by fraudulently obtaining PPP loan proceeds.

Mauner and Means of the Scheme to Defraud

12. It was part of the scheme that from on or about April 16, 2020 until at least
on about June 15, 2020, ABRAMOVS submitted at least six applications for PPP loans for
NIGC. On each loan application, ABRAMOVS provided an EIN, number of employees,
and average monthly payroll for NIGC.

13. It was further part of the scheme that between on or about May 10, 2020 and
on or about June 5, 2020, ABRAMOVS submitted at least five more applications for PPP

loans on behalf of NLA or an entity with a similar name, such as National Legal Advisors

or National Legal Advisors in Care (collectively, “the NLA entities”). ABRAMOVS signed
each of the loan applications as the authorized representative of the NLA entities. On each
loan application, ABRAMOVS provided an EIN, number of employees, and average
monthly payroll for the NLA entities.

14.  Onor about June 15, 2020, ABRAMOVS submitted a PPP loan application
to Financial Institution G using the entity name of National Investment Group.
ABRAMOVS signed the loan application as the authorized representative of National
Investment Group. On the loan application, ABRAMOVS provided an EIN, number of
employees and average monthly payroll for National Investment Group.

15. In order to qualify for the above loans, ABRAMOVS submitted materially
false information about NIGC and NLA, including the number of employees and average
monthly payroll of the businesses. At times, ABRAMOVS also submitted false and
fraudulent supporting documentation with the loan applications, including fraudulent tax
documents. ABRAMOVS falsely certified that the loan proceeds would be used retain
workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and
utility payments, when in fact ABRAMOVS intended to use the funds for personal
expenses.

16.  Inaddition, on each loan application, ABRAMOVS certified that during the
period beginning on or about February 15, 2020 and ending on or about December 1, 2020,
the Applicant had not and would not receive another loan under the PPP. Instead, contrary
to these certifications, ABRAMOVS received multiple loans in the name of NIGC and
multiple loans in the name of NLA.

17. It was part of the scheme that, in order to obtain multiple PPP loans for the

same company, ABRAMOVS and others known and unknown to the Grand Jury created

multiple EINs with the IRS, using different company names in order to obtain the EINs.
ABRAMOVS then used the various EINs on the loan applications and falsely claimed that
they were associated with the relevant business.

18. Intotal, ABRAMOVS received approximately $1,986,737 in PPP funds via
applications submitted to seven financial institutions.

19. ABRAMOVS spent proceeds of this fraud on luxury purchases for himself,
including two condominiums located in the Veer Towers in Las Vegas, Nevada, the
purchase of a 2020 Bentley, the purchase of a 2020 Tesla, and to pay off the mortgage on
an existing home in Nevada.
