    Celebrities that got the PPP loan and defaulters

    Many celebrities during the COVID-19 pandemic can obtain this Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan for their usage or companies.
    This list consists of top celebrities, some of whom were pardoned, some had to pay for the loan, and others were punished.

    For this article, we listed the celebrities that got PPP loans, the reason for taking the loan, the amount they received, and whether they were forgiven or punished.
    The PPP program was introduced during Trump’s administration and was pretty beneficial to many people. Since its inception in March 2020, it was over 2.2 trillion dollars and tagged Coronavirus Aid Relief And Economic Security Act (CARES).

    The loan was meant for small businesses and non-profit organizations affected by the pandemic and for companies with 500 or less than employees.
    From information gathered, about 522 billion dollars worth was channeled to only 5% of the 5 million applicants, while SBS stated that 87% went to smaller businesses while 28% was for loans below 150 thousand dollars.

    The contract also mentioned that if any borrower spent on payroll costs and employees’ compensation level managed, they are eligible for loan forgiveness, and a 1% interest is forgiven.

    Defaulters of the PPP loan

    As earlier stated, borrowers who utilize this loan on payroll costs and employee compensation are eligible for loan forgiveness and stand a chance to get 1% of the interest forgiven or the loan forgiven in whole or in interest.

    But as we know, in cases like this, there’s always a chance for defaulters to go against the agreement, and we have some celebrities who went against the terms and conditions and were punished.

    Maurice “Mo” Fayne was sentenced to 17.5 years imprisonment for Bank fraud and wire fraud. He submitted an application of about 3.7 million for the PPP loan in 2020. Still, he used the money to pay back child support, buy customized jewelry, and lease Rolls-Royce instead of supporting his trucking business, as stated in his application.
