I went through some of the PPP records and found some seemingly fraudulent things, like a youth baseball club receiving an absurd amount of money.

Was it poor record keeping or was it fraud? Companies sprang up just in time to receive loans, including a bunch in California named things like "88 Cloud Computing". All of the names in this case had 88 in them, which is often code for neo-nazi crap (88->HH->Heil Hitler).

It helped those who needed it, sure, but the deliberate sabotage of record keeping and oversight seems intentional.
