Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Pandemic Fraud Update, Part 2: Progress in Civil PPP Enforcement

**Program hosted in (ET) time zone**

This September, the Qui Tam Section will present a two-part series on developments relating to pandemic relief fraud.

On Sept. 27, 2023, this second panel will explore how the response to pandemic relief fraud is playing out on the ground. First, it will describe the Small Business Administration’s response, identifying the relevant components at SBA, the role each plays, and the tools they have developed and expanded for fighting fraud. Second, it will examine how some U.S. Attorney’s Offices are handling qui tam filings, agency referrals, and parallel criminal matters; and further, how many USAOs are implementing innovative prosecution and investigation strategies that hold even the small borrowers accountable.

Separately, the first panel takes place on Sept. 20, 2023, and examines DOJ’s response to banks, fintechs, and other lenders that processed pandemic-relief loans. Click here for full details on the first panel.
