CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — The owner of a New York adventure park on Long Island admitted Thursday that he fraudulently obtained more than $3 million in federal coronavirus aid and spent it on himself, including buying a home on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Donald Finley pleaded guilty to disaster relief fraud and wire fraud during a federal court hearing in Central Islip.
