150k all will be forgiven straight up. But the guys above will have to show the books. They're already arresting people all over the country. Dudes buying Bentleys, lamb's etc. I would want to be the guys buying boats and houses off the PPP. The loan is a different thing. But I know a lot of people are using the PPP.From the link..
Companies and nonprofit organizations that receive PPP loans may have the loans forgiven if they meet certain criteria, including not laying off employees during an 8-week period covered by the loan. Applicants must attest in their application that the loans are necessary for their continuing operation. Note: This data includes loan applications approved by banks and submitted to the SBA. It may not reflect money distributed to, or credit used by, a given company.
Hi I'm from the Government and I'm hear to help. LMAO. Let me explain who really doesn't care about actual, real life small business......The SBA.
If your a sole prop they just assume you hiding income right out of the gate. I went after a grant because I'm making payroll by paying it 1st however I am not getting invoices paid timley and I need to pay suppliers. You guessed it, declined. On top of that I bank a Wells Fargo who have shut 75% of their branches blaming Covid and all the SBA Talent has moved on. Whatever, we'll figure it out.
But they didn’t “need” the money.
I’m having one of those rainy days now, and don’t “need” the money as I do have plenty in savings. I am taking the benefit as I’ve paid in for almost 2 decades since last drawing unemployment. 0 guilts given.
hold up, so you got laid off? I thought you had a fairly secure tech related job?
I am starting to hear about more higher & mid level jobs being shed.... this is crazy.
I am sure they will extend some form of extra unemployment money..... it will probably eventually become permanent. Wild times, but this is how you inflate a country out of debt.
I’ll ask you this question.. who decided “need” in any of the PPP loan process.
The .gov said here is a loan program, if your business might be affected by covid, you can apply. If you use the money for X,Y, & Z you don’t have to pay it back.
That is all they said.
If a guy bought a Lamborghini with the money, sure string him up.
If you own stock of a publicly traded company that took PPP funds and didn’t “need” them, then their stock went up because of their windfall, what does that make you? Did you give back your profits from the stock?
My point is that this is a lot more complex than just “dishonest business owner takes PPP funds”.
We ALL benefited in the short term from those funds in some way.
Not me . Not one benefit . Not one loan . Just royal fucked over by the feds. And state . Completely destroyed .
And thus was the beginning...Ive got a spare room, lots of stuff that goes “bang”, and a real attitude lately.
Yore welcome here anytime my friend.

Dont blame the criminals blame the guy with the unlocked door.Don’t blame the people that took the money. Blame the government for offering it in the first place.
Lol not there yet . All be over at Christmas . Ha !
We never collected unemployment , no sba loans, no PPP, I Have that $20 an hour job now . Barely takes care of our health insurance , for the month.
Cashed out life insurance and other investments . Before I start selling off all my toys that are paid for .
Still have some cash left. That I transfer to cover monthly expenses , for our closed business. And home expenses
. Almost 6 months now . Shit, I thought we would of been open by middle of May. I don't see us opening up at all this year.
Fuck all those people that took advantage of the PPP. I know a few living high on the hog now . I hope they rot in hell , or in a fed prison.
Just couldn't understand , how 50/60 million were out if work and they couldn't keep boats , rv 's , trailers , luxury items on the floor.
Watching Tucker again I see. lolYou’ll be happy to know that Kamilla Harris is on record tonight saying that she will unequivocally provide taxpayer funded health care to all illegals...and yore racist if you disagree.
Feel that pain? That’s CA twisting the knife into your kidney.
Get the fuck out...now.
In the last economic catastrophe, the one where a democrat said something about "too big to fail", I failed and fell hard. I saw contractors taking deposits for work, then changing supply yards to stiff the last one. I couldn't, or wouldn't, risk screwing a customer or a supply house. Both of them made my job possible. In the end, I couldn't keep up. Such is life. Getting biblical, philosophical or such, may have been the best thing to happen to me overall. Being short on work gave me time to help my Mom when she was real sick. It gave me time to rethink my view on both life and work. We left the area, some probably thought we ran with our tails between our legs. It worked for the better. We literally make roughly 20% of what we used to. That's ok. My stuff isn't the fastest or the newest. That's ok also. With the current climate of society as a whole, I think the extra time has also given me the chance to become more prepared for the future, and not just worried about the monthly bills. As is said often, "The Lord works in mysterious ways". 20 and 25 dollar an hour jobs will help you eat, and help with the roof over your head. The rest is just stuff. That was a hard thing to wrap my head around. Starting over beats not trying, too many just give up and give in.We never collected unemployment , no sba loans, no PPP, I Have that $20 an hour job now .

LOF, it sucks you got laid off, but sounds good that you have interviews and there are job openings in your line of work. Couldn't decide on a happy or sad face for your post. I'm not knowledgeable in tech stuff. I've seen construction out here is still going, but the guys doing it are kind of tightening the purse strings. Just little stuff hera and there, but enough for rumors to spread about who's late paying, or who is bidding lower than they used to.

Yea, your story is particularly tough. I do wish you the best.
Have you closed up your bowling ally for good? Why not try and keep it open and defy the order and at the same time keeping to CDC precautions?
Sucks hope you get to open soon but seems the ones who scam the system never seem to get caught or suffer from karma which is the sad part!Bust your ass off for years only to get taken out in 6 months.
One reason i never decided to own a business i am not the type to screw one over today was my last day of work in ca worked at same place for 26 years and have seen alot lately in residential construction the bids are getting lower and the money owed is getting larger not uncommon for a plumbing company to just screw you out of 40k then move on to another hot mopper screw them too. we just moved to az i stayed back for work but cashing out here put us in a really good place and we still enjoy simple life,heck at this time if i had a 20 dollar an our part time job it would be really easy living.Toys are paid although not new and flashy.Iam the guy in camp with the older stuff having the most fun then the ones with the newer ask to help fix cause they cant keep up maintaining their shit!
The thing is. We only do events 40/50 a month . Every month for 20 years . Not one booking since January . So really we felt these lock downs since February .
open bowl or open play we tried , some weekends $200 some $40 . Open play is The biggest waste of time .
At this point , it's for sale ,
If it doesn't sell and if I make it through , we will reopen one day .
People are scarred to death . To do anything indoors . So no bookings .
I have come to grips with it . It's okay . I have already moved on emotionally . We have a few interested parties to buy . Just waiting on offers . Keeping fingers crossed .
Let me know as it gets closer i should be able to head out mid week too i think ryan harper is up too he only does mid week.Will be the first time i can do mid week if i felt like doing so.Previous had to be weekends or holidays since i was able to be off and kids no school we did the whole week thanksgiving.I just didnt want to take out any loans at my age .to save business if I had too. 55 next month. I'll move on cash out .
Bowling property I paid way down . I'll make out on that. When it sells , maybe not what I really wanted, but enough. my house is paid way down . I'll sell that also , coming out in good shape. Money wise .
I'm kind of the same way . Older toys . Was actually going to hit you up , this last glamis season . As I usually go by myself .
Running around in my old sand car.
Or you selling land or just business
La cresenta correct my drive by tomorrow
I think . shit ! Did I ruin another thread ? Am I the only one on RD , getting hit this hard ?
Oops ! back to regular programming .
Those that were smart enough to pull off using the PPP loan program to buy toys are smart enough to hide it so that the actual funds from the loan were not utilized to purchase the toys. One thing the ppp doesn’t stop is using the profits from not having to make payroll for 2.5 months and buying new boats, cars, etc with that money. If they do close that loophole, many people are screwed.
we can all hope the .gov catches these people, but reality is they won’t.
What is the "loophole"? PPP was meant for you to keep all your employees for 8 weeks. (Now extended to 24 week to use funds) And to pay a portion of Rent/Mortgage, and utilities. That's all, that's it. You will have to prove with your quarterly payroll filings that you maintained payroll to be forgiven. Unless your loan was 150K or less.
exactly. there are many companies that received the loan, that were not affected by the shutdown stayed opening and operating while collecting ppp money. This resulted in them operating at a high profit being the ppp money is essentially free Payroll. frees up a lot of money to buy toys etc.
It’s really simple and I’m shocked the .gov didn’t think this part through or they did and just didn’t care in exchange for pushing something through quickly.
He's not in Florida is he? Feds just busted a guy for buying a Lambo. He owned a moving company.A friend sent me this and is due to take delivery Feb. 2021.
We'll see how it works out for him.
