Ethan Smith Interviewed by CNN

Philadelphia, PA – CNN interviewed Ethan Smith on the Paycheck Protection Program implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Ethan gave his insight on fraud committed in the PPP program as exemplified by an alleged scammer who was granted at least six Covid-19 bailout loans from the federal government. “There was no way to put the controls in to ferret out [fraudsters] without punishing people who weren’t committing fraud…At a certain point, it was an emergency. It wasn’t the perfect solution, but it was the best solution we could come up with at the time,” says Ethan.
