The I.R.S. should be expanded and more agents should be added. Why? Because this country is chock full of liars, cheats and scam artists.
“Pandemic relief fraud by CPS employees causes significant reputational harm to CPS and diminishes trust in the school district,” Fletcher’s office wrote in the report. “This is especially true when the perpetrators are employees responsible for managing public funds.”
Of those 14 employees, the OIG found many are in leadership or central office positions according to the report. In each substantiated CPS case, the person who applied for a PPP loan claimed to be self-employed.
In one case, a district full-time employee who makes more than $140,000 per year claimed in their loan application to have earned more than $100,000 in 2019 alone by working as a chef.
“When interviewed by the OIG, however, the employee admitted that the information provided on the loan application was false,” the report states.
