Editorial: New evidence from Cook County shows Paycheck Protection Plan was far too open to fraud. Root it out. – Chicago Tribune*

Patrick Blanchard, head of the Office of the Independent Inspector General "...did not set out to track down PPP fraud, which was not his remit, being a federal program. Actually, he was looking into whether or not the Cook County employees were complying with the rules involving dual employment...So if an inspector general from local government not specifically looking for PPP fraud found it staring him in the face, it suggests that whatever thievery was happening right here in Cook County is merely the tip of the iceberg."

Supremely eligible for a qui tam (whistleblower) lawsuit.
The government refuses to pursue action to recover damages for crimes against the government, it is then up to private citizens to pursue justice (and collect 30%+ of the recovery in so doing).
