MADISON, Wis. — A Madison man is being sentenced to three and a half years in prison for two separate cases of fraud, including a case of CARES Act fraud.
The Department of Justice says 49-year-old Ahmad Kanan was already indicted and awaiting trial in an access device fraud case when he applied for two Paycheck Protection Program loans from the CARES Act last year. The DOJ says Kanan applied for a $72,500 PPP loan from the Bank of Kaukauna on behalf of Altin Labs, Inc. as the company’s CEO and majority owner in April 2020, but the bank noticed Kanan spelled his name incorrectly on the application and did not give the company the funding.
