Fraud is one thing, but it was only fair to compensate businesses forced to shut down and employees laid off because it was a government “taking”. It was never really necessary but they did it, so they had to pay up for it. Some businesses never recovered - they were not compensated enough for the taking. In fact, the states who had the most strict shutdowns should have been the ones who paid the most and for the longest time. The virus was real, and dangerous for a small number, but most of the rest of it was pure scamola.
It sounds like you’re laying the groundwork for a eminent domain wrongly used lawsuit saying the government did wrongly taking it so just compensates for what it took
