Stimulus Fraud: How Agencies Investigate It and What Happens When They Find It

In Part II, we discussed TARP in greater detail and highlighted the various ways fraudsters exploited it. Here we dive into how federal agencies coordinated to investigate TARP fraud and discuss representative cases to understand what those fraud investigations related to the COVID-19 stimulus programs.
