As of March 2021, the DOJ has charged approximately 100 defendants involved in more than $260 million of PPP fraud.  The DOJ has also used civil enforcement tools like the False Claims Act (FCA) and Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) to combat CARES Act fraud, as evidenced by a recent FCA and FIRREA settlement.  Under the Biden administration, the DOJ will likely devote more time and resources to prosecute CARES Act fraud through criminal and civil actions.  Join the virtual CLE discussion and learn how prominent white-collar defense counsel and prosecutors are defending and charging these CARES Act fraud cases.
