This article has failed to point out any business that has received PPP funds in violation of the guidelines of the SBA PPP program. Just because they received money does not mean they were not eligible or in need of these funds to keep the business viable and employees paid. This is simply simply sloppy, sensationalist journalism. There are without a doubt companies that have accepted PPP funds that were not eligible, that should pay those funds back, but simply posting a list of who got what does not help this situation.
