in a study they published last year. That amounts to $64 billion in potentially wasted taxpayer money. This week's congressional report appears to confirm those allegations of widespread fraud.reviewed about 83,000 pages of internal emails, messages and other documents from more than a dozen fintechs, and interviewed former employees, executives and lending partners.
Blueacorn's loan reviewers were told"the faster the better" by managers who recommended spending no more than 30 seconds on each application. Internal documents encouraged Blueacorn workers to only flag applications with"extremely obvious fraud" because the Small Business Administration, or SBA,"would handle any fraud we didn't stop.", the SBA was hardly an effective backstop for fraud.
"The risk here is not ours – it is SBA's risk," a manager at Kabbage told his fraud specialists, according to the report. Investigators say this comment refers tothat it wouldn't pursue penalties against lenders whose borrowers had attested that their loan documents were accurate. "We didn't spend a lot of time on the front end to try to understand what [Blueacorn was] doing to prevent or eliminate any fraud," Prestamos' CEO told the subcommittee.
NPR reached out to five companies named prominently in the report. Two of them – Blueacorn and Womply, which investigators found were involved in about a third of all PPP loans funded in 2021 – did not respond. The other three – Bluevine, Celtic Bank and Kabbage – told NPR they cooperated with the committee's investigation and are proud of the work they did during an unprecedented situation.
Kabbage's spokesperson, Alison Miller, said her company adhered to PPP's rules in good faith and remains committed to borrowers.
“Financial technology companies”, ACH/EFT? That is fine with fraud departments, that’s the largest growing type of fraud. You will need to convince the public, they will never receive payroll immediately again! ACH/EFT is how everyone receives their payroll. Think about that!
Sorry, I worked for a large bank during PPP and pandemic payouts, in the fraud department. Banks systems detected the fraud payments before the government. When banks alerted the Treasury &wanted to send monies back, we couldn’t, the Treasury didn’t know what to do w recoveries!
How about a look into the unemployment fraud?
UN_Women
And gop politicians
..who else would it be?
& Democrats
Actual source of the fraud was the government itself.
As Joe Biden kept repeating the lie that the “intelligence community” had pronounced the laptop story “Russian disinformation” and American voters were herded and manipulated by those who’d chant “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
