One of the largest Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) frauds came to its final end when Sharhabeel Shreiteh was sentenced to a decade in prison. The ‘Palestinian’ accountant is believed to have broken records by filing 1,500 fake PPP applications for over 1,000 clients during the pandemic in a fraud estimated in excess of $14 million.

And a sizable amount of the kickbacks he received didn’t stay here, but went back to his land.

Even while Shreiteh ran tax accounting firms under multiple names in the Chicago suburb of Crete, which has a sizable Muslim population, with his wife, who runs a wig store aimed at the black community, and children, he was sending a fortune to a second wife in the West Bank.
