Summary
PPP recipients must maintain documentation for six years after loan forgiveness or repayment. Prosecution for fraud may be difficult after this period due to evidence limitations. However, other evidence like bank statements, emails, and witness testimonies can still be used. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.Full Conversation
Does this mean it would be difficult to prosecute for fraud after those 6 years are over?
Yes, prosecuting for PPP loan fraud may be more difficult after six years due to the statute of limitations. However, specific circumstances or evidence could affect this. It's best to consult a local attorney for detailed advice. Are you facing a particular issue related to this?
No, but I am asking, even though it could still be prosecuted after 6 years, it would be hard to gather evidence of fraud if no documentation is required after 6 years per the agreement?
Yes, it would likely be harder to gather evidence for fraud after six years if documentation is not required to be maintained. However, other forms of evidence could potentially be used. Do you need more information on documenting or proving fraud?
Like what other forms in this scenario?
