This guy was arrested at Disney after being spotted by a vacationing postal inspector who knew that the man was a fugitive. He is being accused of fraudulently obtaining PPP loans. In an even stranger turn of events, while researching for this post, I discovered that the student who attacked me in my classroom back in 2016 also formed a fake corporation to get PPP money. He got $21,000 in Federal cash using a corporation that was never actually in business and only existed for the year it was formed. It seems that this was a common scam.

Meanwhile I refused to take government money (if you lay down with dogs, you’ll wake up with fleas) and had to lay off 7 people. For 2 months I was the only person at my company and my take-home was ~$1,800/mo. After 2 months we started re-hiring, and 2 months after that we had everyone back. Now it’s looking like the same thing is going to happen. Most of my clients have asked me to come up with a plan to reduce their costs by cutting services. A few have out-right said “the economy is collapsing, so we have to let you go”. Last night I had to let my first employee go again. It looks like all but one other employee will be gone by December 31st and we’re both taking pay cuts down to $3k/mo.
Fuck Joe Biden.

I would assume that a student that would be playing on his phone all the time and basically just in class because he has to be there is probably not on the right hand side of the IQ distribution. Starting a corporation in name only would probably be beyond his mental abilities. “Put them all together and they spell…” conspiracy. Someone else was involved.
OTOH, I can’t imagine anyone in the Brandon administration caring enough to dig into it. It’s just the taxpayers’ money, why should they care?

I reason to “investigate” suspicious people at work.
You would be surprised that when just using available information on the internet, how many black women in Chicago got forgivable PPP loans that owned a single employee “hair salon.”
Now, you would think that at the very LEAST, the people administrating the PPP program would ask for something as a business license or the such to prove that they did in fact have a business.
Now, I believe that the program intentionally threw around a trillion dollars with few/little controls. “bread and circuses” to keep the masses from protesting lockdowns, forced unemployment, civil rights violations, Constitutional violations.
Any hoo, that’s my rant…….

It’s funny you should mention that. In this case, it was an LLC formed as a barber shop. It only costs $300 to form an LLC in Florida, and can be done in less than 5 minutes online.
