He counted on the fact he was a "job creator" and, as-such, the backbone of the "American Entrepreneurial Spirit" that the Executive Branch wouldn't come for him. Guess he learned he was a minnow in a much bigger pond than he thought he was.
It is likely there are many more high profile business owners in Springfield who got away with PPP forgiven loans (that didn't really need them) than this guy who go holding the bag.
Truthfully, if 417 or any other local print media wanted to "make their bones" they would chase down this tip-of-the-iceburg.
