  Fraud Flags?

  With $100 billion scammed in the PPP, fraud? s a real ghost in the machine. Inflating employee counts or payroll was a go-to trick. So, let's poke the data:

  18 Jobs: Did they really have that many on the books, or was it a fantasy to justify $208,745.57?

  Payroll Proceed: $158,000.00 sounds legit for forgiveness, but was it spent on real wages or funneled elsewhere?

  Opaque Details: Unanswered demographics aren't proof of deceit, but they don't scream transparency either.

  The loan's Term is 24 months, standard for early PPP, and forgiveness suggests they met job retention rules. But with so much cash at stake? meeting rules? could mean clever paperwork, not honest effort.
