ILLMAS Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 How are people getting caught, this is like the 3rd story I have read about business owners misusing PPE funds from a false application. Are they randomly selected for an audit or by the fact of them submitting a copy of a luxury yatch invoice they purchase is what causes the investigation? Fraud is fraud and to know they are going after people. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/27/us/lamborghini-ppp-covid-19.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Since the SBA announced that August 10th will the first day they will accept Forgiveness applications, the SBA hasn't done any audits yet. So far the cases that I have read about the people getting caught were doing things so outrageous and obvious that perhaps they were tripped up by SBA post loan approval screening procedures of some kind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Most people who engage in this type of behavior on a grand scale can't resist bragging about it to their friends & associates. Somewhere in that crowd is often someone who isn't on board, who's worried about their own behavior, or who resent the fact that they weren't that "clever". So they retaliate by making a few phone calls to the relevant people. Or they hope to curry some favor so that their own issues might be overlooked. Anyone who's ever raised a teenager has probably seen this scenario play itself out in some way or another. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
