Many sole proprietorships registered and individuals in my area have these loans. I suspect this was a major contributor to inflation.

For example, a neighbor who owns several franchised restaurants received a few million in PPP loans. But during COVID he also bought a Cirrus Vision Jet. Very suspicious.

The PPP loan program is a borrower self-certified program. Meaning the gov't did absolutely nothing to ensure funds actually went to payroll.

In my area, US attorneys recently went after someone for misuse of PPP money and got a judgemental against him. The person who turned him in got a big, fat reward.
