    But giving $1k to people was blasphemous because they could buy groceries and pay rent. This country is an awful place.

    Any companies that make their money helping other people get government benefits, are usually sleazy and to be avoided.

    So it looks like it wasn’t a bunch of widespread individual fraud, but a bunch of sleazy companies popped up selling the “service” of helping companies qualify for these benefits, and basically committed fraud on the small businesses behalf, telling them and the government that said business qualified for these benefits.

    Whenever something shitty happens, there is always a sleaze bag there, makin’ money.

      I’ve also known some sleaze bag business owners who seek these kinds of services because they want to find a way to take advantage of programs n things they don’t actually qualify for.

    Covid was amazing for fraud. My state had so much rampant unemployment fraud they essentially gave up on even investigating it. I’m not surprised that other programs also had massive fraud
