Prosecutors have called it the largest fraud case in U.S. history: As much as $80 billion dollars, or 10%, of the COVID relief plan known as the Paycheck Protection Program was stolen by fraudsters.
Among them was a couple living in Tarzana who collected $18 million in loans for fake businesses in the San Fernando Valley. When a jury convicted them, the swindlers took off, sending authorities on an international chase.
L.A. Times reporter Michael Finnegan brought us the details.
