(Cedar Rapids, IA) — An Iowa man has been sentenced to nine months in federal prison for getting more than 13 thousand dollars in CARES Act unemployment funds fraudulently. Fifty-five-year-old Brian Lynn Whorton of Marion was sentenced this week after entering a guilty plea last January. Whorton will have to make restitution and serve a two-year term of supervised release after he gets out. Federal prosecutors said he withdrew some of the money in cash and used a Bitcoin A-T-M to send funds to co-conspirators.
