With billions of dollars at stake in the Paycheck Protection Program, the Department of Justice has vowed to aggressively investigate and prosecute cases of PPP loan fraud. If you believe you may be the target of a PPP fraud investigation, you could end up facing charges for federal bank fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, making false statements to a financial institution, and/or making false statements to the SBA. The best way to protect yourself against these charges is to hire a knowledgeable PPP attorney as soon as you suspect that you may be involved in a fraud investigation.
