Half of Pandemic Relief Ended Up In Hands of Russia and China

Revolver News reports that, according to forensic accountant, Linda Miller who testified to members of Congress this week, HALF of pandemic relief ended up in the hands of Russia and China.

    “Data on this is still being evaluated, but there are some estimates that half of the Pandemic unemployment assistance fraud went to adversarial nations,” she said, as reported by the Epoch Times.

    “The nearly $5 trillion in government relief spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, much of which was disbursed as direct payments to citizens, created the perfect storm for fraud.”

    “A combination of inadequate oversight and internal controls, large-scale organized fraud rings and antiquated data and information systems contributed to the massive, widespread fraud we saw during the pandemic.”

    “Agencies were unprepared for the fraud they encountered largely due to a lack of attention on fraud risks.”

My question is: does this include the 10% for the Big Guy?
