Season 2. Episode 10: COVID Fraud

Season 2. Episode 10: COVID Fraud

In January 2020, like most people, I was planning my year. I had a vacation planned with my family, my trial schedule set (more or less) and an idea of achieving some goals I had set out for myself. Also in January, I began hearing of a strange virus that originated in Wuhan, China. Once again, like most people, I ignored it as I thought it would not affect my life.

I was, of course, incorrect. The COVID 19 virus has ravaged our world in a manner not seen since the Influenza epidemic of 1918. The full effects of COVID are still not known.

One effect, however, was all-too predictable. Fraudsters and white-collar criminals took advantage of relief programs authorized by the Federal government and billions of dollars have gone to waste. We explore some of the crimes that have occurred with COVID fraud.
