    NEAR FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) — Dozens of Broward Sheriff’s Office employees, including several deputies, are accused of an elaborate cash crime revolving around Paycheck Protection Program loans during the coronavirus pandemic, according to published reports.

    According to Florida Bulldog investigative reporter Dan Christensen, between 50 and 70 BSO employees will soon be charged with fraud. They are accused of fraudulently applying and receiving large PPP loans under the Federal Paycheck Protection Program that began during the COVID crisis.

    “I’ve heard - the word that’s going around at Broward Sheriff’s Office is 50 to 70 employees, mostly deputies, sworn deputies, detention deputies and other employees that are part of a PPP fraud loan investigation and that indictments are coming down,” he said. “What I was told is there are 15 to 20 law enforcement officers, meaning street deputies and their supervisors, and the rest being detention deputies — jail guards and civilian employees at the sheriff’s office,” he said.

    The Miami Herald reported that 44 employees, 33 corrections and 11 BSO deputies are expected to be charged in this scam.

    What a stupid way to close out the OP!

    With that said…

    Glad they got them. Seems like the banks would have some people involved in something like this.

    We had to jump through a ton of hoops with our bank over our PPP loan. I guess some banks just didn't care.

    DeSantis has special responsibility for the Broward Sheriff’s Office, as he quickly removed the predecessor, with some cause, but rushed and in a show

    It was fairly simple once I went to my local banker who is phenomenal. But it was a nightmare at first for us as well. That said…I had already done a ton of work when trying to get BOA to handle it. So most of the hard stuff was done.

    I won’t be ruining my career and going to prison for my closing. Can’t say the same for your beloved corrupt police officers!

    Please forgive my naivete, but people had to go through banks to get PPP loans?

    BTW, were you able to have yours forgiven?

    You don't have to tell me if that makes you uncomfortable. I'm just curious about it and wonder how many people had them forgiven (which fwiw I think is a good thing, in principle).
