Yes, your relative could be prosecuted for lying on the 4473.

I doubt the US Attorney's office in NC would prosecute in this case. The ultimate trasnfer went through an FFL in NY where you filled out the appropriate paperwork and underwent a background check.

While it is unlikely that someone will get in trouble the fact remains that they could.
