Covid crisis exploited

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Over the past three years, the federal government distributed more than $4.2 trillion in aid connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than $400 billion of it—nearly one in every $10 spent—was either wasted or stolen, according to a new report.

And that figure is likely to grow, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday, "as investigators dig deeper into thousands of potential schemes." Already, prosecutors have charged more than 2,230 defendants with pandemic-related fraud crimes, the A.P. reports. They'll be busy for years to come, sorting through what Mike Galdo, the Justice Department's acting director for COVID-19 fraud enforcement, calls "an unprecedented amount of fraud."

Over $400 billion in COVID aid was stolen or wasted

A new Associated Press analysis of government data suggests 10 percent of all COVID aid was lost to fraud or theft. That figure will likely grow.

Sounds like sour grapes ... you didn't get your cut ... that's sad ... better luck next time ...

"More than $200 billion was stolen from two major COVID-19 pandemic programs in the U.S."

But, of course, under "proper capitalism" there is no theft and corruption, and everyone is not eager to steal the last nail if they can.
