    What innocence? What are you even talking about? They did it and admitted it. Even the ones that returned it admitted it. They aren't even claming others did only you and Kepler are. They saw the loophole and went after it cause they could and they had zero to lose. They did it out in the open for everyone to see. They still don't think they did anything wrong. (ethically not legally). They would do it again tomorrow.

    You have a point in a hypothetical but in this case you are defending the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

      And where did the CEO or shareholders say they were behind it? It's whoever in charge of the finance. The big bosses may or may not have had a clue that the finance dept applied for it. Depends on the managing. If the big boys say "Hey, we effed up," then fine, bring the thunder.

        The sad thing is if this program would have been funded right they never get found. Of course if it had been set up right the loophole doesn't exist in the first place.

            I've listened to business owners talk on live radio about how they have no plan on paying back the loan because they got a loan at rates they couldn't have gotten without the pandemic.

            I heard of a corporate CEO flat own admit to CNBC analysts that he can't wait to weed through his layoffs and hire back less employees at lower pay rates because "wages were inflated."


            I believe there *is* good in this world, and that there *are* business owners who genuinely needed the loans and got them. I'll even believe that maybe a couple businesses took the loan when they weren't sure about the details.

            But, this is coordinated theft by the banks and the large corporations who actively participated.
            Google it not one of them blame "finance guys" or anyone else.

            And also...large corporations don't work the way you are suggesting.

              Yeah, ok. Let me know where a CEO or CFO micro manages every single position. They manage a few positions below them, who manage a few positions below them, etc etc. For this program? Guessing that most companies' bigwigs didn't bat an eye, and left it to those where that is actually their job.

                  Yours just happened to be the last in a series of posts complaining about the companies when I elected to respond.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    The big biz companies...a lot gets lost in the translation, so to speak.

                      You don’t just apply for things on behalf of a corporation without it being vetted. Especially when government is involved. Most corporations have fairly large departments devoted to handling all government-related manners.

                        As someone who defends you often...im begging you to stop. You are out of your depth here. I am not being mean, not insulting you and not trying be a jerk. You sound like people on ESPN describing college hockey. (who aren't Bucci and even he isn't great)

                            Not to mention the CFO (often #2 in command structure) would have to sign off on it.
