Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Rabbitt said 57 people have been charged with stealing $175 million from the PPE program designed to help Americans during the coronavirus pandemic

Officials said they have identified 500 individuals who may have defrauded the $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program and that, in many cases, criminal rings had worked together to steal funds from the program. The Justice Department along with other agencies would focus more closely on this organized criminal activity, officials said.

Officials said they believed fraud in the program was “significant” but declined to estimate what proportion of the funds, which were passed by Congress as part of a $3 trillion pandemic rescue package, had been stolen. This week, JPMorgan Chase & Co, which dished out nearly $30 billion PPP loans, said it was working with law enforcement after identifying cases of customers “misusing” the funds.

More of these associates, undoubtedly. The” build the wall” fraud was another example. Federal law enforcement authorities have charged 57 people with stealing $175 million from an aid program meant to help small businesses weather pandemic lockdowns, officials said on Thursday🤔

nana4MANY Was Jared Kushner one of them?

nana4MANY Were Jared & Cheetolini on the list?

...and who could that be? 🤔

Why am I not surprised. 😭

Now do members of Congress & the Cult45 admin!!!!! TraitorCult45

Hopefully these two grifters have also been charged, they make enough by raping the country in roles they have no qualifications or experience to be in...TrumpCrimeSyndicate

How many of the 57 thieves have the last name TRUMP?

Ordinary1World That really doesn’t sound like enough people. Crooks seem to flourish during the Trump regime

It was the Country of Austria, oh wait they only got our stimulus checks

Covid definitely showed those who were willing to shove humanity aside and make money,gross.

I thought Covid-19 millionaires are only peculiar to Kenya? Wtf

TweetLDToo Where do they get them. Brian Rabbit?

Ordinary1World Most likely those who didn’t kick back to the GOP.

😐

Let me guess, it was Obama’s fault.

OH DONT APPEASE US. Where are the rest?

Was Trump one of em?

Interesting so how many billions has the Trump family stolen from its citizens?

Now do Elaine Chao!

Trump's gonna need more ink for his pardon pen.

The real Thieves have connections to congress and will never be prosecuted

There are times our DOJ just rocks! +1

I suppose it just about covered the weekend golf security and the bar bill.

When asked about PPE Program oversight, Trump said he had a perfect eye-test, a beautiful test, maybe the best test he'd ever seen. 20 out of 20.

Great. No do the GOP’s bioterrorism that’s killed 200,000 Americans.

Are any of the Donald J Trump? Because he took our PPEs and sold or gave them away & I helped pay for those. Where did they go? How much was paid? Where is all that money?

Serious?!?!? Just on the eve of a presidential election, just when the realDonaldTrump campaign declares that it is on the verge of bankruptcy, just under Trump's low-profile program? An alibi, as much as, suspect. 🤔

Name and shame

Peanuts

The must not have kicked back enough to the Don

I hope the c(R)ooked basta(R)ds at least threw one helluva party.

Typo: should be PPP in the headiline

Good get those fuckers!

One guess who the lion share went to...🙄

Possibly many of trump’s friends that’ve fallen out of favor. 🙄

Max penalties please

Don Jr?

Is kanyewest one of them?!🤷🏽‍♀️

Law And Order Trump

Name them. Now

I'm confused, who gave them the money? Did they lie on the applications? I'm no fan of big businesses, but why weren't they simply denied in the first place?

Waiting for China to be blamed again.

BLACK friday Sp500 , dow jones , nasdaq , RIP

Boy, I guess no oversight was a fucking mistake.

Was kushner one of the people charged?

How DARE those people take money that was suppose to go to Trump properties and Trump donors!!!
