I thought I read someplace that strip clubs actually qualified for PPP loans?

The crime is in the application for the funds, not how he spent the money. if he had not exaggerated the payrolls, he would have been fine. Acting like a Kennedy is not a crime, just the lying to get the money.

Apparently the bank processing these “loans” are not required to do any due diligence.

Article states he had two business’s with “several employees”, no way he could qualify for 700K & 900K, for several employees.

The PPP loans were for 2.5 month of payroll; so a 700K loan means a monthly payroll of 280K. That could be 35 employees at 8K per emp/mo (only the first 100K annual comp counted toward the loan amount), or 70 employees at 4K per emp/mo, or some combination.

There is no defined difference between several and many, so the article could be technically correct.

Why not go after the Congress Critters that have been in office for 30-40 years.

Something is messed up.


They’re going to make an example out of him.. 30-40 years. Ouch.
