I don't think the loan was meant to be going to him (even if he had been telling the truth). Just because someone can afford to live in Winchester doesn't mean they can make payroll for 3+ months.
Personally I'd rather see most of the money going directly to individuals that need it, but business also need to survive.
And kudos to whichever bank or entity reported this. I can only imagine how much other fraud is out there and too small to raise suspicions, or just not being caught.
I can't help but notice that this guy in a black immigrant - he's the guy they targeted for enforcement of fraud? Meanwhile the gov't is attempting to block even revealing which businesses with administration connections got billions in handouts?
This thief set up an LLC last year, working out of his house, and claimed to have 350 employees. Check out his website. It's a complete fabrication. It reads like one of the Nigerian scammer faxes from the 80's.
It's too bad they didn't catch the fraud before giving him the money. Besides the unemployment records, aren't there dozens of other ways the state and federal government should know how many employees a company has?
Now it will be far more expensive for the government to attempt to clean this up.

Way to miss the point
Way to miss the point completely.
Scam
This guy may be an immigrant but he's a scam artist. Personally knowing him this is not a stretch of his character. Black or white doesn't matter.
Same as before
You steal a little from the bank, you’re a criminal.
Bank steals everything from you, it’s business.
Does this man have an alias?
Is he also know by Dell'Abate?
every big spending package needs audits
Every large program should come with a bit of funding for IG/ombudsman/etc to focus on anti-fraud efforts.
Everything from food stamps to farm-aid to the PPP.
