Don’t worry everyone! He also got a PPP Loan to the tune of $179k totally forgiven! No doubt it was also on the up and up 😉

Edit: Since others are asking about reporting fraud. I’d direct you to the U.S. DOJ site setup specifically for this.

Furthermore, it appears that you would need more than just allegations. But if you have firsthand knowledge of any misdoings, or particularly if you were the victim of such, I’d highly encourage you to complete the form that is also found at the linked site.

Or if you’d like to remain anonymous, there is the U.S. SBA (Small Business Administration) OIG hotline that allows for this. And they may even be better suited for PPP abuse specifically, since I believe this program falls directly under it.

But if you do possess highly relevant information, you should also be aware that there appears to be Whistleblower Rewards (from 15% to 30%) for PPP loan fraud, in the event your assistance ultimately leads to any proceeds being recovered. So anonymity be damned if that is you.

Edit 2: The more I think about it (as to not dissuade anyone from reporting), well even as simple taxpayers we were all victims to the rampant abuse of the shambolic PPP loan system by the fraudsters. It was meant as a lifeline to those businesses truly in desperate need. Not as a means of access to free money to potentially pay yourself and other top earners at your company. And might I add as a reminder that that money did run out, leaving many empty handed. So if this man and his agency are as highly successful as he purports it to be, was the need genuine? I’ll leave that up to you all and potentially any future investigators to decide.
