PPP isn’t some hot new token — it’s the acronym behind billions in fraud. And in this episode, we’re looking at two very different but equally staggering cases that prove the grift didn’t end with lockdowns.
First up: Sidhartha “Sammy” Mukherjee and his wife Sunita, Bollywood performers turned alleged scammers, accused of using fake real estate contracts and forged PPP documents to defraud over 100 victims in their own North Texas Indian-American community. According to the lead investigator, “In my 23 years, this is the most prolific fraudster I’ve seen.”
Then we head to Marietta, Georgia, where Carl Delano Torjagbo was just convicted for stealing nearly $13 million through pandemic relief and IRS refund scams — using the money to buy mansions, Lamborghinis, a yacht, and even plastic surgery.
From Plano to plastic surgery, PPP fraud has taken many forms — but all of them rely on one thing: a good story. And these scammers knew exactly how to sell it.
