A Florida roofer who allegedly spent nearly $700,000 in federal Paycheck Protection Program money to buy a 40-ft-long pleasure boat is the latest of four individuals with construction-related businesses ensnared in fraud charges related to the COVID-19 small business rescue program, federal prosecutors say.
Casey Crowther, 35, was charged with making a false statement to a financial institution in his application for just under $2.1 million in funding for his roofing business, Target Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc.
