I ask because a couple in a state next to me just pled guilty for stealing not one PPP loan at 2.1 million and a second at 1.6 million? Did I miss out on something by being above board?

Basically, the goal was to get money out as fast as possible. Accept application, send money, then investigate later. I think if Trump won in 2020, we would have seen far less PPP prosecutions.
