Nationwide Representation
PPP loan fraud is a federal matter. If you’re looking to hire a criminal defense attorney, it’s likely the Spodek Law Group is on your radar – and capable of winning your case.
Understanding PPP Loan Fraud Cases
PPP loans are federally backed under the CARES Act, meaning if you’re accused of fraud, federal prosecutors can charge you with violations like:
- Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343)
- False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1014)
- Theft of Government Property (18 U.S.C. § 641)
A conviction can mean lengthy prison time and massive amounts of press due to the alleged victims of the crime if your case attracts attention. Federal sentencing guidelines also limit the judge’s discretion, so it’s critical you work with an experienced team.
Possible PPP Loan Fraud Allegations
- Incorrect or Misrepresented Payroll Numbers
Maybe there were honest mistakes on your application. The government must prove you intentionally provided false information—an important point we can use in your defense. - Misuse of PPP Funds
PPP loan proceeds must generally be used for payroll and other specific business costs. If there’s confusion or gray areas about allowed expenses, we’ll show there was no intent to defraud. - Multiple PPP Loan Applications
If you applied through multiple lenders, the government may allege conspiracy or wire fraud. We’ll examine your documents closely to see if you acted in good faith when applying.
Our Comprehensive Defense Strategies
When you hire Spodek Law Group, we tailor your defense to the specifics of your case. Some of our approaches include:
- Lack of Criminal Intent: If you believed your actions were legitimate, there may be no fraud.
- Procedural Errors: If the government violated your rights through illegal searches or improper interrogation, we’ll move to exclude that evidence.
- Mitigating Circumstances: Even if there were technical violations, we’ll show confusion or contradictory guidance contributed to any mistakes.
- Negotiated Outcomes: Some cases are resolved successfully by working out a favorable plea deal before trial.
