PPP Loan Fraud Attorney – SBA Fraud Defense Lawyer

Looking for a PPP loan fraud attorney and SBA fraud defense lawyer in Los Angeles? The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was intended to provide various benefits to individuals and companies affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. A major part of the CARES Act was the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was meant to provide financial assistance to businesses that are facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 crisis. The PPP program is being administered through the SBA in conjunction with private banks.

Due to the large amount of money allocated to the PPP program, the government and private banks have worked together to identify irregularities or fraud in the application for funds related to the PPP program. Any business or individual audited or investigated for illegally receiving PPP funds must consider retaining a skilled federal criminal defense attorney to mitigate the risk of facing a federal criminal prosecution.

Currently, Federal and State law enforcement agencies are actively conducting investigations of individuals or business that have applied for PPP loans. The PPP loan application is not the only form of fraud being investigated. Federal and state agencies are looking for Loan Stacking (where a company applies for PPP loans simultaneously with various banks), Using PPP funds for unauthorized use, and fraudulent Loan Forgiveness Certification.

If your company is investigated or audited, your actions can determine whether you will be facing criminal charges. This is because making false statements to federal law enforcement agents can be charged as a separate crime altogether. Those under audit or investigation must diligent in avoiding the disclosure of information that may be incriminating. Moreover, it is just as important not to make any misrepresentations in the course of an audit or investigation.

The following is a list of potential federal charges related to the PPP loan program:

1. 15 U.S.C. § 645 – False Statements, Commerce Fraud
2. 18 U.S.C. § 371 – Conspiracy to Make False Statement
3. 18 U.S.C. § 1001– Making a False Statement
4. 18 U.S.C. § 1014 – False Statement to a Bank
5. 18 U.S.C. §1343 – Wire Fraud
6. 18 U.S.C. § 1344 – Bank Fraud
7. 18 U.S.C. § 1349 – Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud
