One of the lesser discussed aspects of the Covid scamdemic is the amount of Covid fraud that went on, which is being called “the great grift.” In the US $ 4.2 trillion in emergency aid was unloaded in stimulus spending to deal with the economic disaster that the lockdowns were. This was a ripe cherry that was too juicy for crooks to pass by. As one investigative team concluded: “Fraudsters used the Social Security numbers of dead people and federal prisoners to get unemployment checks.” “Cheaters collected those benefits in multiple states. And federal loan applicants weren’t cross-checked against a Treasury Department database that would have raised red flags about sketchy borrowers. All of it led to the greatest grift in U.S. history, with thieves plundering billions of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief aid intended to combat the worst pandemic in a century and to stabilize an economy in free fall.”
Overall, the crooks got away with $ 280 billion, with $ 123 either misspent or wasted. As appalling as that is, the even greater crime, not yet quantified, are the costs of levelling small businesses through lockdowns, while Big Business, especially Big Tech, made a killing.
