Political consultant and Space Coast Rocket publisher Robert Burns has been sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to fraudulently obtaining a COVID-19 relief loan. Burns, who received over $57,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program, used the funds for gambling and cryptocurrency. In addition to repaying the loan, Burns must undergo mental health treatment, refrain from opening new credit accounts, and submit a DNA sample. The judge dismissed two additional charges and waived fines. Burns got off relatively easy… He faced up to 20 years in prison before his sentencing.
