Five IRS employees stole COVID relief funds to buy Gucci, trips to Las Vegas, Justice Department say

Five current or former employees in Tennessee and Mississippi with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have been charged with scamming the federal government of hundreds of thousands of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds to bankroll extravagant lifestyles.

The suspects allegedly received money through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program, which were designed to help business owners meet their financial obligations during the pandemic.

Well call me shocked.....NOT

Embezzling funds seems to be the new thing.

There will probably be more of this coming out.....they made it easy for these people to steal.

Just think what the employees can do with all the money flowing into IRS for all those new agents

Could be election season PR to help the DOJ cast the illusion they're doing their jobs 😎

Vetting processes are only as good as the best criminal doing the vetting 😎

Metal Jacket. They each get a jelly donut.. we all work for it.
We also have memories, just like they have addresses.
