From one angle, this looks very incriminating.
But... the PPP loans were made available for everyone to apply... and it was free money if you were eligible... so if you were eligible and didn't take the free money off the table, then I don't know how else to say it other than you missed out.
Should the PPP loans ever been offered? Well, that's a different debate. The point is, they were offered, so those who played by the rules and took the free money benefited.
Not everyone was able to obtain the monies. Legit small businesses who could have and would have used the monies to stay in business were denied.
We were denied, our banker told us months early to apply, we did, way before the announced date we were filled out and waiting for the programs to begin.
Monies ran out before we were served, I don't know how frauds got in ahead of us but they did, all over the country people defrauded the scam, er system.
We survived, not everyone did. We were deemed an essential business and could not close, not that we wanted to close, we stayed open every day, same as always. It was very difficult, those monies would have helped but not everyone was rewarded, tho plenty of scammers were.
Companies were supposed to meet strict criteria to be eligible for the forgiveness too, if they failed they were supposed to pay it back. Most did not pay it back, regardless of the rules, certainly the scammers could not show the accounting receipts to prove their need and uses of the monies.
Just saying, most of us never had a chance to obtain any help.
That really sucks and I'm bummed for you, and angry that that happened. I was not unaware, though, that scammers existed.
I have no idea what the politicians in this original post applied for, or whether or not they were eligible. I am not assuming, though, that they were scammers.
The program was flawed, for sure. Some states never even used all their money.
Anyway, I'm glad you were able to survive.
There you go!
The ones who offer the money and the ones who (are even given the opportunities to) take up the said offer are the same criminals. It's like that Spiderman pointing to Spiderman meme. Or that Office meme which says "they're the same picture" (Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two images).
I understand that they participated in a program that they approved. There is no getting around that--that is the way of capitalism: you create things to benefit.
Taking advantage of the stock market is where the criminal activity is. When government leaders do that based on insider info, that's wrong. That's an unfair advantage. The PPP loans were not an unfair advantage.
