I should have defrauded a bunch of PPP loans to help people with their college loans.
I legitimately wish I thought of this sooner. Also would help if I had a company to apply with lol. It seems like there was literally nothing stopping this from happening if someone thought of it/was willing to take the risk.
There was plenty to stop it, namely huge corporations swooping in to grab them before smaller companies even had the chance.
