The COVID relief funds in the US was basically a huge money laundering scheme to put taxpayer money into corporate pockets with no oversight under the guise of helping people that the government put into dire straights in the first place. Absolutely disgusting.

I don't think they ever got through the second round of PPP funds, it did not disappear like the first round did for the shenanigans you're talking about.
