I mean, they gave a $4.6 million to the LA Lakers and a bunch of other companies worth billions. It’s possible that trusting the banks to distribute taxpayer money responsibly instead of to their largest debtors from whom they stood the most to lose if those debtors defaulted was maybe not the best idea.
But what do I know. I’m not a US Congresscritter. /s

I mean, there’s also the airlines that received billions in relief, and used 80% of it to buy back their own stock and STILL laid off thousands of employees, but yeah, let’s get mad at this dude (who will probably only see a few months jail-time, if that).

His attorney stated something to the effect that the defendant was “looking forward to telling his story,” or some bland legaltalk blah blah.
Looking at the defendant, I can only imagine that that story would begin with, “dude, check THIS out…”

Our local news reported the businesses that got most of the relief funds. It was basically a list of the richest business owners in town. I can only hope that forgiveness of these loans requires some kind of financial statement indicating that what is basically welfare is being used for something other than preservation of a million dollar house and a classic car collection.

You can always tell by the name. The name is always the opposite.

That’s nothing a restaurateur here in Chicago, who lives in Colorado, bought an a mansion and a HUGE new ‘work’ truck (so you know that is a write off) and then bragged about buying it on FB, where employees could see it. Employees who are now basically out of work, sure some are collecting $$ but many are just unemployed, part timers.

Oh, it gets even better. Apparently he got caught because he called the cops to say his girlfriend had stolen his Lamborghini.
