Covid fraud was at least a trillion collars. Much of it was tapped into by foreign hackers, not even living on US soil. For those living in the USA, probably the Feds discover your fraud, only when someone squeals on you. Could be a business associate, ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, anyone.

Women go on wild spending sprees when they steal a few million dollars. Its fun to see what crazy stuff they blow their money on. Usually plastic surgery too.

This particular thief/ woman looks like she was also an influencer.

Bilked? They say that like it’s a bad thing.

I wonder what the total amount that was fraud during Covid

I think they said 250+ BILLION
