This is not a crime. It's unethical, yes, but not a crime.

Do you understand how the PPP works? The company takes out a loan based on how many employees it has and their salaries. Then the company applies to have the loan erased (paid off by the government). We can argue about the lack of oversight on these loans, but there's no broken law. They were taken advantage of by people all over the US, but taking advantage is not equal to breaking the law.

I agree it's unethical for these people to be taking PPP, but it's not against the law. The PPP certainly encouraged dishonesty and fraud (giving yourself a 100% raise, for example), but it's not against the law.
