In one of the largest national crackdowns on fraud targeting federal coronavirus aid, the Justice Department on Wednesday said it had brought 718 law enforcement actions in connection with the alleged theft of more than $836 million.

The vast array of criminal charges and other sanctions — part of a federal sweep conducted over the past three months — reflected the ongoing, costly work in Washington to recover stolen pandemic funds roughly three years after the peak of the public health crisis.

    The article is about individuals being charged. Businesses are not listed as being investigated or charged.

      There’s mention of the PPP loans (the ones that were forgiven) which means the people being charged are related to fake businesses or businesses that lied. Govt isn’t going to go after a business, but they will definitely go after the person that signed their name on the dotted line.
