Joe Biden’s corrupt regime literally wasted billions of our tax dollars by giving away COVID funds to fraudsters, crooks, and criminal gangs.
Since this wasteful COVID “relief” nonsense began, the feds flushed $872 billion of our ta dollars down the drain. And now we know that at least $200 billion of that went to “fraudulent actors.”
The data comes from AEI’s Matt Weidinger, who cited a review from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic under the Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
Weidinger reported that “unprecedented amounts [of COVID relief funds] were lost to improper payments and fraud.”
He also found that there was almost no oversight of these wasteful programs that handed out cash by the buckets full during the scamdemic years.
In its report, the Oversight Committee wrote, “Transitional criminal networks engaged in large-scale operations that submitted fraudulent claims, laundered illicit funds through financial systems, and transferred proceeds across borders.”
The report went on to say that around half of the funds lost to the PPP program alone “were stolen by international fraudsters.”
And by “international” they mean just that. Many of these fraudulent payments were given by Biden’s government to foreigners, not Americans!
The committee reported that cases of fraud include Chinese government-affiliated hackers stealing $20 million in relief funds, an Indian national fraudulently obtaining over $8 million through PPP, and Operation Scattered Canary — a Nigerian scam that stole $5.4 million with fraudulent unemployment claims.
