PPP, the Paycheck Protection Program was designed to keep small businesses afloat after they were hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic last year.

Others should not have applied because they weren’t eligible… and they knew it. Now some are facing federal prosecution. This a cautionary tale and advice for those who may consider applying for… or even defrauding the PPP system.
