All these returns...I'm guessing the worker in chargeof such things applied for the loan, someone higher up found out about it, and said, "Nah, dog. That's bullsh*," and returned the money.Originally posted by rufus View Post

No, these decisions aren't made by low level employees. They're returning the money because of bad PR and public backlash...no other reason.Originally posted by The Rube View PostJordan Kawaguchi for Hobey!!

I hope so too. I don't think the recipients are the criminals. DumpCo set it up as a slush fund for themselves and their buddies, but it was overbroad, and honest people return stolen money.Originally posted by The Rube View Post

They don't have to be low-level. They want to move up even more, and this was a way of saying, "Hey, look at what I got our company!" And then the smarter people higher up than them told them they were idiots, because of the blowback it would bring.Originally posted by MinnesotaNorthStar View PostNever really developed a taste for tequila.

Nope it is often the attorneys and accountants who do it for the company and it is known. A lot of the big banks gave them the heads up and they ran with it. JPMorgan Chase is being sued over it.Originally posted by The Rube View Post
They all wanted it and assumed no one would notice. When the fund went broke it was thrust into the forefront and the backlash killed.

All of this.
CNBC pointed out one large corp with thousands of employees who had almost 100 million of the small business protection loans used multiple tax ID codes to pretend to be multiple small companies.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of federal guidance, these moves, despite being meant for small businesses, did not have anyone overseeing enforcement of it *until* the PR blowback.
And anyone who thinks that big corps who are announcing they're giving it back are genuinely like Opie from the Andy Griffith show and went "Awww, gee, shucks, I promise to pay it back!" on their own volition needs to get their fu**ing head checked.

I don't think Rube's being innocent here and you know how I feel about business and management. He's not saying the execs return the money out of the goodness of their heart. He's saying it's the equivalent of opening your bank statement and seeing that your $3,000 paycheck is instead $3,000,000. Even if you have a larcenous soul and you hate your company you do not spend that money because you know someday, very soon, you will go to jail.Originally posted by rufus View Post
Corporations are insanely risk-averse. In my industry at least they don't do anything that can be perceived as dishonest because they live in terror of the front page of WaPo. I assume all Fortune 500s are like this.
Remember: they don't have to cheat. The fix is in: they own the government. You never steal illegally if you can steal legally. "Give a man a gun he can rob a bank; give man a bank he can rob the world."Last edited by Kepler; 04-27-2020, 09:32 PM.Cornell University

Sorry man but you need to read up more on it.
This was not some bank error...they a saw the loophole and dove in. They aren't even really denying it. Some even defend it.

The corporations have the means to process this fast so the banks prioritized them over the small businesses. Ruth Chris can get the application done much faster than a mom and pop shop can and the banks made sure they got those done first.

NO IT'S NOT*Originally posted by The Rube View Post
A company in Georgia paid $6.5 million to resolve a Justice Department investigation — and, two weeks later, received a $10 million federally backed loan to help it survive the coronavirus crisis.
Another company, AutoWeb, disclosed last week that it had paid its chief executive $1.7 million in 2019 — a week after it received $1.4 million from the same loan program.
And Intellinetics, a software company in Ohio, got $838,700 from the government program — and then agreed, the following week, to spend at least $300,000 to purchase a rival firm.
Another dozen or so collected money even though they have recently reported being able to raise large sums through private means. Several others have recently showered top executives with seven-figure pay packages.
