James Clyburn, D-S.C., head of the select subcommittee, said in a press release that many fintechs refused to take adequate steps to detect and prevent fraud while disbursing billions in relief loans.

Clyburn said he has asked watchdog agencies such as the SBA Office of Inspector General and the Department of Justice, to follow up on the findings.
