A New Hampshire man has been sentenced to over two years in prison for attempting to fraudulently obtain over $6 million in federal CARES Act funds for seven businesses, including one allegedly dedicated to helping with pandemic-related aid.

The man was sentenced in federal court to 28 months in prison; a co-defendant was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
