We are looking for information and comments from experts to shed
light on frauds related to the Paycheck Protection Program

minuscule fraction of the over 5 million PPP loans issued so
far. We are seeking comments on the following: 1- How
prevalent are these kinds of crimes where individuals/entities
try to defraud the government for money? Are you aware of, say,
an estimate about how many or what percentage of applications
could be fraudulent, perhaps based on previous studies/reports?
2- Can you provide some characteristics or patterns that
describe how these crimes tend to work? (Or a brief
"radiography"). And how do they tend to be identified by the
government? (Do fraudsters make common mistakes or false
assumptions? 3- Please feel free to add anything that
could be relevant to the topic. Any input related to Houston
and/or Texas will be appreciated for localization for our outlet
