KARL LUCIUS DELANO a/k/a
CARL DELANO TORJAGBO
MOTION TO VACATE OR SET ASIDE CONVICTION
PURSUANT TO 28 USCS.2255
COMES NOW The Defendant, KARL LUCIUS DELANO, files this motion PRO SE
pursuant to 28 USCS.2255, requesting the court to vacate the convictions on all 10
counts of the Indictment on the following grounds.
BACKGROUND
On July 1st 2025 Mr. Torjagbo was indicted by a Grand Jury on a 10 count 3rd
superseding indictment. The charges include Bank Fraud, wire fraud, concealment
money laundry and transactional money laundry. On July 2l5t 2025, the case proceeded
to trial and on July 25th 2025, a Jury convicted Mr. Torjagbo of all 10 counts of the
indictment. Pursuant to 28 USCS.2255 paragraph (b ), If a court finds that there has been
such a denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of a prisoner as to render a
Judgment vulnerable to collateral attack, the court shall vacate and set aside and shall
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 1 of 54
discharge the prisoner or re sentence him as may appear appropriate. It is my assertion
that two of my constitutional rights, both 14th amendment and 6th amendment rights were
infringe upon pretrial and during the trial. In support of my motion, I state the following.
VIOLATION OF 14TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS
1. Use Of Fabricated Evidence; The evidence presented and used by prosecutors from
Turbo Tax was fabricated. Each time a tax return is submitted to the IRS, the agency
generates a submission code. A look at the events that occurred in the IRS data base
from the time the first return was submitted till a refund was issued shows only two
submission codes. (Exb.3 pg9 and pgl 7 bottom). It also shows the number of times a file
was rejected and in the case of Social Security Number (SSN) ending in 0540, only one
occurrence (Exb3 pg9). Furthermore Turbo Tax issued only two certificates of
rejections. One for SSN ending in 6010 for 02/06 6:05pm (Exb2) and one for SSN
ending in 0540 at 6:15pm on 02/12 (Exbl). The excel spread sheet was fabricated to
make it appear to the Jury and the court that on 02/06 two submissions were made for
SSN 6010 and 0540 and both were rejected the same day. Then on 02/12 another
submission was made for both SSN 6010 and 0540 at 6:15pm and 6:37pm
(Exb202pg2) misleading the jury to believe, this had to be done by one person or if
there were two people, they had to have been together. The Turbo Tax expert testified
that the Tax returns were processed in batches. What actually happened was on 02/06
SSN 6010 was submitted and rejected at 6:05pm (Exb2). A submission was made for
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 2 of 54
0540 on 02/06 but that was not processed until 02/12 and was rejected at 6: 15pm
(Exbl). A subsequent submission was made for 6010 on 02/12 at 6:37pm (Exb4)which
was accepted and on 02/13 08:42am a re submission was made SSN ending in 0540
which was also accepted (Exb5). This matches the IRS data base of events and
certificates from Turbo Tax itself. My account of what happened was, I asked Andrea
previously if she could help with filing my taxes. She promised to do it but was
preoccupied with other things and kept giving excuses. The day before I was heading for
Miami ,while I was in the subdivision clubhouse, she came and filed the taxes. She
thought I had already left for Miami so she did not bother calling. I had previously told
her all the information required was on my laptop and she mistakenly used the
information for the social security number ending in 6010. When I came home from the
clubhouse, I filed the tax return using my correct social security number ending in 0540
not knowing that she had already filed a return. I headed for Miami the next morning
and was there for about 5days. On my way back I got an email and text alert that my tax
return had been rejected by the IRS because the Employer Identification number (EIN)
used was issued in 2021 and could not be used for a 2020 tax return. I got home late that
night and the following morning resubmitted the tax return using the EIN that was
issued in 2018. Andrea got the same message earlier and came back to the home office
and resubmitted the one ending in 6010 with the EIN issued in 2018. When I spoke to
her later that day she advised me of what happened. I called Turbo Tax and attempted to
cancel the one Andre filed but was told it had already been accepted and I would just
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 3 of 54
have to wait until the IRS contacts me. By the way Andrea has been working as my
assistant since 2017. She typically works from my home office or on site at the mining
fields. She has a key to my home office and there is nothing all of a sudden or strange
about her coming to my home. My previous attorneys Kendall Silas, Jodi Yoshi and the
paralegal Sarah for 2 years knew about Michael Lee and his brothers as well as Andrea
Lewis, and so did my current attorney Leigh Finlayson.
2. False Testimony by Turbo Tax Expert; The Turbo Tax expert testified falsely to
support the fabricated evidence further misleading the Jury and the court. He testified (1)
that the tax submissions were processed in batches. (2) if there is a rejection the file is
sent back to the applicant and only the applicant can correct the error. (3) An error or
rejection code is generated only if an applicant submitted a file.(4) An internal re
submission of a file by Turbo tax does not generate a code.(S) he also testified that codes
on the excel spread sheet were generated by a computer ruling out the possibility of
human error, which is false because the only codes generated by the submission of files
to the IRS are 02/12/2021 440893202103704ANJ07 and 02/13/21
440894202104303VIKQ6 (Exb3 pg9,pgl 7). Any other codes or submission and
rejection on the excel spread sheet for SSN 0540 to the IRS was fabricated by someone.
Furthermore, prosecutors reinforced the fabricated evidence and false testimony in their
closing arguments of what they wanted the Jury and Court to believe happened. A false
testimony is one that is given concerning a material matter with the willful intent to
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 4 of 54
provide false testimony rather than as a result of confusion, mistake or faulty memory.
Both the prosecutors and the Turbo Tax expert knew there were only two submissions
and one rejection for SSN 0540 since Turbo Tax issued the certificates of rejection. The
prosecutors also knew this since they had this information in the IRS special agent report
in the discovery. The fabrication and testimonies were done with the intent to mislead
the Jury that it was the same person who resubmitted or edited the files since they were
within 17 minutes of each other and even if there were two people, they had to be
together. This is sort of like making up evidence to place someone on a murder scene,
when they were in fact somewhere else.
3. False Testimony by SBA And Chase Bank Experts; Both the SBA expert and the
Chase Bank expert falsely testified that in order to be eligible for the PPP loan, the
business had to be located in the United States. The Chase bank expert also falsely
testified that the documents that were required to be submitted to the Bank for the loan
application, had to be filed with the IRS. Once again these statements were made under
oath with the willful intent to manipulate the Jury and to mislead them to believe that
applying for a loan that I knew I was not qualified for, Is in itself a knowing and willful
misrepresentation of material facts to Chase Bank. There is no where in the rules of the
PPP program that states the business had to be located in the United States (Exb6 pg2
para 2). There is no where in the documentation instructions that states documents
provided for the loan application had to be filed. It only requires you to submit estimates
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 5 of 54
if you had not yet filed your taxes. Was I late in paying 940 and 941? Yes. Were the
estimates accurate? Yes they were. Would I have paid and filed the 940,941 if the tax
laws obligated overseas located business to do so? Yes I would have.
To establish due process violation based on the use of fabricated evidence and perjured
testimony, movant must prove that (1) Fabricated evidence and false testimony was
used, (2) The prosecutors should have known that the statements or evidence are false or
allowed it to go on uncorrected, (3) The false testimony or fabricated evidence could
have affected the Jury verdict. All the instances stated above, meet if not exceeds these
requirements. Napue V United States 360 US 254 259. 79S ct 1173 3L ED 2d

Violation Of 6lh amendment rights due to Ineffective assistance of counsel
1. Refusal to present evidence in discovery that would prove or expose fabricated
evidence used by prosecutors; When my attorney revealed to me the exhibits that the
prosecutors intended to use at trial, I expressed concern about the excel spread sheet
being presented, versus my recollection of what happened or resulted in the duplicate
Tax return filed by my assistant Andrea Lewis. The Fabricated evidence presented made
it appear that both Taxes for Social Security numbers ending in 6010 and 0540 were
filed or edited and resubmitted within 17 minutes intervals 6:15pm and 6:37pm
respectively. I went digging through the IRS special agent report in the discovery
material provided by prosecutors and found evidence that supported my suspicion. The
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 6 of 54
Turbo tax certificates of rejection and a detailed account of events that occurred
from when the Tax returns were submitted until the refund was issued in the IRS
data base (Exb 1,2,3,4and5). I brought the evidence to my attorney's attention and he
concurred that there was something fishy about the spread sheet, but brushed it off and
said we can look at those later. I brought it to his attention again the second time right
before trial started expressing my concern that this might mislead the Jury, again he
agreed with me but said he was tired and we had several other evidence and recordings
to look through so we can deal with that later. Trial started on July 2isr and on the 4th day
of trial, I brought the exhibits to the court room. They were in a bright Green folder and
rest of all the other evidence in a bright Red folder. During the short break, I brought this
to his attention again. This time his response was "I don't want to get into all of that you
can do that on your own". After lunch I asked him again, but this time I said we don't
have to go through the evidence in the IRS data base just the two certificates of rejection
issued and certified by Turbo Tax. This time he got angry that I brought this up again
and said "if you want to do that, do it on you own. I already told you I don't want to get
into that". He then got up abruptly and left the defense table and started talking to some
unknown people in the back of the room. These actions are equivalent to the flat out
refusal to def end a client when there is clear evidence that evidence being used by
prosecutors against his client were fabricated.
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 7 of 54
2. Failure to challenge validity of questionable evidence used by prosecutors against
the defendant; Soon after I received the PPP loan and after I had transferred $3 million
to my PNC bank account, my Chase bank account was frozen. After calling Chase bank
numerous times, I was asked to present additional evidence in order to unfreeze the
account. The Customer Service Representative mentioned a number of documents
including an EIN letter that was needed. I went to the Chase bank on chapel hill road in
douglasville and gave them a copy of the EIN letter that the IRS gave me when I applied
for it.
Prosecutors presented a letter that they claimed was altered or bogus because
1. The address was spelled wrongly in the data base, Leatherly instead of leatherleaf
2. The controlling name was different, KREM instead of TORJ
3. The letter bore semblance to another EIN letter sent by the IRS so it had to be that
letter that was altered.
4. EIN letter had no way of reaching me because the address was wrong.(Exb 106).
5. She also claimed the date on the letter was the same as the one which it bore
semblance to. That is categorically false. The date on the letter is 2018 and for Tax year
2019 (Exb 106). Also she made some false claims that I stated the post office opened the
letter and changed the address. That is false as well. I said if you put a wrong zip code
on an address, the post office can figure it out. I expressed concern about this evidence
to my attorney but his response was "I don't think the Jury will care too much about this.
Kremkov is Carl Delano Torjagbo and Carl Delano Torjagbo is Kremkov. If the EIN was
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 8 of 54
fake that would be a problem". I proceeded to explain I had no way of altering a printed
letter. That would be like altering this very motion you are reading right this moment.
The only way that could be done was if I had a letterhead from the IRS with all of its
security features in order to conjure up something like that. The other issue is there are
no stamps or markings from the bank that show that this was the actual document that I
presented to the bank. All other documents example the ones submitted to chase bank
had the SBA stamps or makings to show this was the actual documents submitted (Gov
Exb l0lpgl0 can only be seen when viewed digitally). The only true way to actually
know if the letter had been altered is if prosecutors had a copy of the actual letter sent to
me from the IRS and compared it to the one submitted. The IRS agent testified that they
do not have a copy of the original letter that was mailed to me. Just because the letter
bares semblance to another from the IRS does not mean it was altered to look like that.
And also, supposing the prosecutors hypothesis was correct and the letter never made it
to me because the address was incorrect. The only way for me to know that I had an EIN
number ending in 1377 was if I received a letter from the IRS telling me so. What I
believed most likely or probably happened was the data base had to be either
deliberately altered or maybe accidentally altered during an address change to
cause a mismatch. Knowing everything I just told him, you would expect my attorney
to raise a strong objection to the use of that evidence or challenge it so that its excluded.
Just like the preceding example he refused to do anything. Not even a re battle on cross
examination. The only thing he did that was close to saying something was in his closing
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 9 of 54
arguments, where he said "prosecutors want you to believe that the government does not
make mistakes"
3. Failure to properly or adequately prepare expert witness; My attorney Mr.
Finlayson called an expert witness Dr. Owusu to testify on my behalf regarding family
mining or small scale mining business in Ghana. He failed to qualify him as an expert
first of all and also failed to ask the witness if he had any knowledge of pay rates of
Chinese co-operated mines in Ghana. In his testimony, he eluded to the fact that the
Chinese co-operated mines had all kinds of sophisticated equipment and they pay more,
but did not know how much the pay rate was. His testimony about the average pay of
small family owned mines that employ teenagers of $500 a month is no way in
comparison to a small scale mining business with a multi-million dollar investment from
a Chinese super-pack whose production rate averages a 100 kilos of gold a month. The
price of 1 kilo of gold in 2019 was $78,000 per kilo. This means a mining business of
this caliber produces $7.8 million worth of gold monthly. A handful of these Chinese co-
operated mining business's pay between $45 to $50 an hour, because we have
sophisticated equipment like drones with ground penetrating radars, cable lifts, jack
hammers, fork lift, mining carts and so forth that result in a faster production rate while
maintaining the status of a small scale mining business. A comparison with most of the
other family mining business who have no special equipment and scourer the land
aimlessly looking for gold with a production rate of few kilos a year pay far less. Same
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 10 of 54
concept as a commercial pilot flying a Cessna Caravan who makes about $2500 per
month because he can only carry 6 passengers. The same commercial pilot flying a B 777
makes $20,000 per month because he can carry more passengers. A very big difference
in pay rates. Furthermore, online research shows pay rates range from $90,000 to
$160,000 per year according to Mining Review Africa and World bank, with Chinese co-
operated mines paying as high as 60% more than domestically owned and operated
mines in Africa. This falls in line with what we paid our employees which is about a Net
pay of $60,000 after taxes (Exb 8 pgl pg2 pg3).
4. Failure to properly cross examine IRS agent; I expressed concern to my attorney
about how prosecutors might cause the IRS agent to give a one sided testimony or half
the truth that could be very misleading to the Jury. My concern was the estimates of my
Tax liabilities submitted to Chase bank (940, 941) which I ended not filing due foreign
earned income tax laws, could be twisted or misconstrued to make it look like I was
being deceptive and did not pay any taxes at all. My previous attorney Kendall Silas
warned of this so the first thing I did when my current attorney Mr. Leigh Finlayson
took over the case was, explain the situation regarding this issue and to make the case to
him that we needed an expert witness. Someone to testify on the defense side on how the
IRS handles revenue generated inside the United States (Internal Revenue), and revenue
generated outside the United States (External Revenue). Any income earned outside the
united states which exceeds the threshold to be exempted from foreign earned income is
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 11 of 54
taxable (more than approximately $130,000 a year Exb.9 pg3). Typically the tax owed
due to income in excess of this amount is payed individually via wire transfer, the IRS
free debit system or check. The IRS does not keep records of individual tax
payments once the account is credited. You are told to keep records of your wire
transfer or check as proof of payment in case you are audited. A search for records for an
employee working for a foreign based company will yield no records found since their
employers do not file W2, W4 or 940and 941 with the IRS and Social Security
administration (Exb 9). A good example is my Tax returns while working for Fly-Dubai
Airlines. Another example is Hunter Biden. He worked for a Ukrainian Energy company
and was payed millions of dollars. Since he made more than the Foreign income exempt
threshold, this income was taxable. Hunter had to make that payment individually and
any search of records for W2 940 and 941 will yield no records because non was filed
with the IRS. Only records will be Hunter's bank records or wire transfer records after
the payment is credited to his account. This contrast needed to be made clear to the Jury
and the court that the 940 and 941 submitted by me to Chase Bank were estimates, per
Instructions from the Bank to loan applicants stating estimates could be submitted if
Taxes had not been filed yet. Upon a later review of the laws regarding these filings
with my assistant, we came to the realization that 940,941 and W2 were not
required to be filed or paid with the IRS if the workers were employed and worked
outside the United States. The employee's had to pay this individually. I also explained
my Tax filings. The approximately $10 million made in 2020 was income generated
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 12 of 54
from the trade of Gold, and the loss of $12 million reported as loss in excess of $10
million, was the cost of Environmental impact assessment, mining exploration and 3
months of labor cost prior to getting to the Gold. As one who was paying Taxes as an
individual, my book keeping software only tells you what your Tax liability is based on
how much you earned. The software is not meant to replace the IRS. Based on what it
said, I made that payment to the IRS via wire transfer through Michael Lee as an
individual the only difference is I happened to have an EIN number. Mr lee paid all
transactions such as payroll, and equipment purchases himself to make sure every dollar
that was invested was used for the right purpose. I simply just paid him back in Gold.
My attorney agreed this was critical and it was a good idea to get an expert to testify in
this regards. He also eluded to the fact that the IRS agent for the government will mostly
testify to things that favored the governments case. About 3 weeks to trial, he visited and
told me he wanted to continue the trial for October because the Pro Bono money for
experts had run out. He also said there will be no more money until October but Judge
brown will not agree to a continuance. So I told him the best way out was to draw out
answers we were seeking for the Jury to understand the difference. I wrote a
memorandum titled "Angle of Defense" based on what I knew from my personal
experience and from consultations Andrea and I had with Tax firms So he could craft or
ask simple questions like
1. Does the IRS handle foreign earned income differently
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 13 of 54
2.Are the records treated differently or are those records kept after the account is
credited
3. Do foreign base companies have to pay of file 940,941 and W2
4. Was there anything wrong with the way Mr. Delano filed his taxes
5. Without an Audit can you say that Mr. Delano committed any Fraud as to the
information on his tax returns.
During cross examination, he appeared not to want to ask any questions to draw this
contrast to the Jury. When he came back to the defense table, I wrote down a number of
questions for him to ask the agent but he only asked one. He asked "can you make a
payment via wire transfer or check to the IRS".
5. Refusal to Subpoena or obtain information he knew was favorable to my
defense; On the first day I met with Mr. Finlayson, I had a memorandum written to him
requesting him to subpoena
1. The documentation Instructions Chase bank gave to applicants applying for the PPP
loan
2. Letters sent by Chase Bank warning borrowers of deadlines of when to apply for loan
forgiveness.
I did so because my previous attorney Kendall Silas previously told me he saw the
letters I was ref erring to in the discovery. However when I looked through all the
discovery material, I could not find the letters nor the instructions. I immediately
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 14 of 54
suspected a Brady violation so I requested Mr. Finlayson to subpoena those documents.
Chase Bank expert witness did testify that those letters were sent. The content of the
letter was important since they said something to the effect that, if one does not apply for
forgiveness by a certain date, the loan becomes a regular loan that the applicant had to
repay on their own. It also mirrored some of the examples of the SBA will direct you to
repay the loan if lets say you borrowed money for one McDonald but use the money for
another one. The point I am trying to make is that these letters, Instructions and
regulatory material were pivotal in my decision to use some of the loan proceeds to
expand FlyingJack. Put it plain and simple, I would have returned the money to Chase
Bank if it were not for the information I received and read from the Bank and SBA. It is
also critical for the Jury and the Court to know this because if the crux of the crime
or what made the conduct criminal was knowingly and willfully deceiving the
bank, then this is adequate prove that my actions were not some sort of a grand
scheme to knowingly and willfully defraud the Bank but rather my actions and
decisions were a result of the information I received. Prosecutors will argue that I
spent $100,000 before I got my Tax refund and that was from PPP funds to get into a
binding contract for my house and pay some bills. That is true however this $100,000
was my paycheck in accordance and in compliance with the program (Exb 6pg13
paragraph r). Mr. Finlayson action also falls under exculpatory evidence. He relied
solely on evidence provided to him by prosecutors and made no effort whatsoever to
investigate anything even after he was repeatedly told of the existence of evidence
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 15 of 54
favorable to the defendant. F allure to investigate a critical source of potentially
exculpatory evidence presents a case of constitutionality defective representation.
United States Vs Trevillion 759 F3d 281 393 n2s (3rd Cir 2019), United States Vs
Baynes 622 F2d 66 69 (3rd Cir 1980).
6. Failure to call witness; I told my attorney, Brahim Ganzou and Kate Flourney are
two potentially good witnesses that can testify in my favor as to the use of funds in
FlyingJack and corroborate a lot of the things I did including my train of thoughts. I
discussed a lot of things in company meetings with my workers. He agreed that was
good because a lot of the case had to do with my intentions and what I was thinking. As
we got closer to trial, he told me he could not locate Kate Flourney and Brahim Ganzou
did not want to testify. Brahim Ganzou told him the exact opposite. He told Mr
Finlayson he would be glad to testify regarding things that happened in Flying Jack such
as letters I received, use of funds and anything that was relevant to the trail. Brahim 's
testimony would have made it clear to the court and Jury that the reason why I co
mingled the funds and transferred most of it to my savings account was not because I
was trying to conceal its use, but it was safer in that account. Kate and Brahim had
access to the Kremkov and Flying Jack accounts in order to make purchases or pay bills
on behalf of the company. For this reason, I limited the amount of funds in these
accounts. Also in order to execute a wire transfer from my savings account, It required
an actual in person visit to the Bank whereas a wire transfer from the business account
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 16 of 54
can be made in minutes with a click of a button. The main reason was to keep the
money safe and to prevent a scandal like what happened to Dodgers Baseball player
Ohtani, whose bookkeeper transferred millions from his account before he caught on to
it.
7. Failure to object to prosecutors use of events that happened when I was minor;
Although it was told to the Jury that certain portions of the case were not to be used to
adjudicate guilt, prosecutors went overboard when they started pressuring hard in an
effort to establish that I lied to the Government during my visa interview to the United
States. Mr. Finlayson new I was a minor then,16 years about to turn 17 years so he
should have made a strong objection when prosecutors went overboard. Instead he
allowed them to continue to taint me or present me as someone who was deceptive. He
clearly knew that I was acting under direction from my parents because I told him my
Father obtained the passport for me. A sixteen year old could not get a passport on his
own. My father also accompanied me to the visa interview at the U. S embassy in Accra
Ghana.
Taking into consideration the totality of all the circumstances, Mr Finlayson's actions
and inaction's were so deficient that he was not functioning as counsel guaranteed
under the 6th amendment rights. His deficiency was so prejudicial that it deprived
me the right to a fair trial whose result was reliable. Strickland Vs Washington 466
US 688,687,1045 ct 2052, 801 ED 2d 674 (1984). Coupled with the fabricated evidence
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 17 of 54
and false testimonies presented by prosecutors, these convictions if allowed to prevail
will constitute a fundamental defect resulting in a complete miscarriage of justice. The
outcome of the trial would have been different if it were not for these misconducts.
I therefore humbly request the court to vacate the convictions on all 10 counts of the
indictment and any other relief that the court may deem just and proper.
Respectfully Submitted,
Karl Lucius Delano

ELECTRONIC POSTMARK - CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRONIC FILING
Taxpayer:

Federal Return Submitted:

Federal Return Acceptance Date:
Your return has been re j ected by the IRS
The Intuit Electronic Postmark shows the date and time Intuit received your federal tax return. The Intuit
Electronic Postmark documents the filing date of your income tax return, and the electronic postmark
information should be kept on file with your tax return and other tax-related documentation.
There are two important aspects of the Intuit Electronic Postmark:
1. THE INTUIT ELECTRONIC POSTMARK.
The electronic postmark shows the date and time Intuit received the federal return, and is deemed the
filing date if the date of the electronic postmark is on or before the date prescribed for filing of the
federal individual income tax return.
TIMELY FILING:
For your federal return to be considered filed on time, your return must be postmarked on or before
midnight May 17, 2021 . lntuit's electronic postmark is issued in the Pacific Time (PT) zone. If you are
not filing in the PT zone, you will need to add or subtract hours from the Intuit Electronic Postmark time
to determine your local postmark time. For example, if you are filing in the Eastern Time (ET) zone and
you electronically file your return at 9 AM on May 17, 2021 , your Intuit electronic postmark will indicate
May 17, 2021 , 6 AM. If your federal tax return is rejected, the IRS still considers it filed on time if the
electronic postmark is on or before May 17, 2021, and a corrected return is submitted and accepted
before May 22, 2021 . If your return is submitted after May 22, 2021 , a new time stamp is issued to
reflect that your return was submitted after the IRS deadline and, consequently, is no longer considered
to have been filed on time.
If you request an automatic six-month extension, your return must be electronically postmarked by
midnight October 15, 2021 . If your federal tax return is rejected, the IRS will still consider it filed on
time if the electronic postmark is on or before October 15, 2021 , and the corrected return is submitted
and accepted by October 20, 2021 .
2. THE ACCEPTANCE DATE.
Once the IRS accepts the electronically filed return, the acceptance date will be provided by the Intuit
Electronic Filing Center. This date is proof that the IRS accepted the electronically filed return.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Information
On March 13, 2020, President Trump
declared the ongoing Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of
sufficient severity and magnitude lo
warrant an emergency declaration for all
states, territories, and the District of
Columbia. With the COVID-19
emergency, many small businesses
nationwide are experiencing economic
hardship as a direct result of the
Federal, State, and local public health
measures that are being taken to
minimize the public's exposure to the
virus. These measures, some of which
are government-mandated, are being
implemented nationwide and include
the closures ofrestaurants, bars, and
gyms. In addition, based on the advice
of public health officials, other
measures, such as keeping a safe
distance from others or even stay-at-
home orders, are being implemented,
resulting in a dramatic decrease in
economic activity as the public avoids
malls, retail stores, and other
businesses.
On March 27, 2020, the President
signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (the CARES Act
or the Act) (Pub. L. 116-136) to provide
emergency assistance and health care
response for individuals, families, and
businesses affected by the coronavirus
pandemic. The Small Business
Administration (SBA) received funding
20811
Federal Register
Vol. 85, No. 73
Wednesday, April 15, 2020
and authority through the Act to modify
existing loan programs and establish a
new loan program to assist small
businesses nationwide adversely
impacted by the COVID-19 emergency.
Section 1102 of the Act temporarily
permits SBA to guarantee 100 percent of
7(a) loans under a new program titled
the "Paycheck Protection Program."
Section 1106 of the Act provides for
forgiveness of up to the full principal
amount of qualifying loans guaranteed
under the Paycheck Protection Program.
A more detailed discussion of sections
1102 and 1106 of the Act is found in
section ill below.
II. Comments and Immediate Effective
Date
The intent of the Act is that SBA
provide relief to America's small
businesses expeditiously. This intent,
along with the dramatic decrease in
economic activity nationwide, provides
good cause for SBA to dispense with the
30-day delayed effective date provided
in the Administrative Procedure Act.
Specifically, small businesses need to be
informed on how to apply for a loan and
the terms of the loan under section 1102
of the Act as soon as possible because
the last day to apply for and receive a
loan is June 30, 2020. The immediate
effective date of this interim final rule
will benefit small businesses so that
they can immediately apply for the loan
with a full understanding of loan terms
and conditions. This interim final rule
is effective without advance notice and
public comment because section 1114 of
the Act authorizes SBA to issue
regulations to implement Title 1 of the
Act without regard to notice
requirements. This rule is being issued
to allow for immediate implementation ·
of this program. Although this interim
final rule is effective immediately,
comments are solicited from interested
members of the public on all aspects of
the interim final rule, including section
ill below. These comments must be
submitted on or before May 15, 2020.
The SBA will consider these comments
and the need for making any revisions
as a result of these comments.
ill. Temporary New Business Loan
Program: Paycheck Protection Program
Overview
The CARES Act was enacted to
provide immediate assistance to
individuals, families, and businesses
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 38 of 54
20812
Federal Register/Vol. 85, No. 73/Wednesday, April 15, 2020/Rules and Regulations
affected by the COVID-19 emergency.
Among the provisions contained in the
CARES Act are provisions authorizing
SBA to temporarily guarantee loans
under a new 7(a) loan program titled the
"Paycheck Protection Program." Loans
guaranteed under the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) will be 100
percent guaranteed by SBA, and the full
principal amount of the loans may
qualify for loan forgiveness. The
following outlines the key provisions of
the PPP.
.
1. General
SBA is authorized to guarantee loans
under the PPP through June 30, 2020.
Congress authorized a program level of
$349,000,000,000 to provide guaranteed
loans under this new 7(a) program. The
intent of the Act is that SBA provide
relief to America's small businesses
expeditiously, which is expressed in the
Act by giving all lenders delegated
authority and streamlining the
requirements of the regular 7(a) loan
program. For example, for loans made
under the PPP, SBA will not require the
lenders to comply with section 120.150
"What are SBA's lending criteria?." SBA
will allow lenders to rely on
certifications of the borrower in order to
determine eligibility of the borrower
and use of loan proceeds and to rely on
specified documents provided by the
borrower to determine qualifying loan
amount and eligibility for loan
forgiveness. Lenders must comply with
the applicable lender obligations set
forth in this interim final rule, but will
be held harmless for borrowers' failure
to comply with program criteria;
remedies for borrower violations or
fraud are separately addressed in this
interim final rule. The program
requirements of the PPP identified in
this rule temporarily supersede any
conflicting Loan Program Requirement
(as defined in 13 CFR 120.10).
2. What do borrowers need to know and
do?
a. Am I eligible?
You are eligible for a PPP loan if you
have 500 or fewer employees whose
principal place of residence is in the
United States, or are a business that
operates in a certain industry and meet
the applicable SBA employee-based size
standards for that industry, and:
i. You are:
A. A small business concern as
defined in section 3 of the Small
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632), and
subject to SBA's affiliation rules under
13 CFR 121.301(f) unless specifically
waived in the Act; or
B. A tax-exempt nonprofit
organization described in section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC), a tax-exempt veterans
organization described in section
501(c)(19) of the IRC, Tribal business
concern described in section 31(b)(2)(C)
of the Small Business Act, or any other
business; and
ii.N cfo tv.'ete in operation on F~bruary
1s, 2()20 andl'.eifhei: had employees'f6r
whom you paid salaries and payroll
taxes or-paid i.ndependent c.ont,:actors,
as reeorted, on a Form 1099-MISC.
You are al~o eligible for a PP)? loan if
you ar'e an individual who operates .
under 1fsolepfQprietorship or as an
independent contractor or eligible self-_
empJ9red jndividua.J,,:ind you w~re in
.9p~raJ!~~,;?,,a,l,:;~J;>rn¥.Yi i~,.J.IJ,20.
ou must also .submit such
documentation as is necessary to ,,
establish eligibility such as payroll
.processor records, payroll tax filings; _or
Form 1099-MISC, or income and.
;?iJ>enses {!;om a sole proprietorship. ¥ pr
oorrowers ):hat do not have any such
documentation, the borrower must .
'provide. qthe.r supporting:
documentation, such as bank records,
sufficient to demonstrate the qualifying
payroll amount.
SBA intends to promptly issue
additional guidance with regard to the
applicability of affiliation rules at 13
CFR 121.103 and 121.301 to PPP loans.
b. Could I be ineligible even if I meet the
eligibility requirements in (a) above?
You are ineligible for a PPP loan if, for
example:
i. You are engaged in any activity that
is illegal under Federal, state, or local
law;
ii. You are a household employer
(individuals who employ household
employees such as nannies or
housekeepers);
iii. An owner of 20 percent or more
of the equity of the applicant is
incarcerated, on probation, on parole;
presently subject to an indictment,
criminal information, arraignment, or
other means by which formal criminal
charges are brought in any jurisdiction;
or has been convicted of a felony within
the last five years; or
iv. You, or any business owned or
controlled by you or any of your
owners, has ever obtained a direct or
guaranteed loan from SBA or any other
Federal agency that is currently
delinquent or has defaulted within the
last seven years and caused a loss to the
government.
The Administrator, in con.sultation
with the Secretary of the Treasury (the
Secretary), determined that household
employers are ineligible because they
are not businesses. 13 CFR 120,100,
PaqP 11
c. How do I determine if I am ineligible?
Businesses that are not eligible for
PPP loans are identified in 13 CFR
120.110 and described further in SBA's
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 50
10, Subpart B, Chapter 2, except that
nonprofit organizations authorized
under the Act are eligible. (SOP 50 10
can be found at https:llwww.sba.gov/
document/sop-50-10-5-lender-
development-company-loan-programs.)
d. I have determined that I am eligible.
How much can I borrow?
Under the PPP, the maximum loan
amount is the lesser of $10 million or
an amount that you will calculate using
a payroll-based formula specified in the
Act, as explained below.
e. How do I calculate the maximum
amount I can borrow?
The following methodology, which is
one of the methodologies contained in
the Act, will be most useful for many
applicants.
i. Step 1: Aggregate payroll costs
(defined in detail below inf.) from the
last twelve months for employees whose
principal place of residence is the
United States.
ii. Step 2: Subtract any compensation
paid to an employee in excess of an
annual salary of $100,000 and/or any
amounts paid to an independent
contractor or sole proprietor in excess of
$100,000 per year.
iii. Step 3: Calculate average monthly
payroll costs (divide the amount from
Step 2 by 12).
iv. Step 4: Multiply the average
monthly payroll costs from Step 3 by
2.5.
v. Step 5: Add the outstanding
amount of an Economic Injury Disaster
Loan (EIDL) made between January 31,
2020 and April 3, 2020, less the amount
of any "advance" under an EIDL
COVID-19 loan (because it does not
have to be repaid).
The examples below illustrate this
methodology.
i. Example 1-No employees make more

Average monthly qualifying payroll:
$100,000
Multiply by 2.5 = $250,000
Add EIDL loan of $10,000 = $260,000
Maximum loan amount is $260,000
f. What qualifies as "payroll costs?"
Payroll costs consist of compensation
to employees (whose principal place of
residence is the United States) in the
form of salary, wages, commissions, or
similar compensation; cash tips or the
equivalent (based on employer records
of past tips or, in the absence of such
records, a reasonable, good-faith
employer estimate of such tips);
payment for vacation, parental, family,
medical, or sick leave; allowance for
separation or dismissal; payment for the
provision of employee benefits
consisting of group health care coverage,
including insurance premiums, and
retirement; payment of state and local
taxes assessed on compensation of
employees; and for an independent
contractor or sole proprietor, wages,
commissions, income, or net earnings
from self-employment, or similar
compensation.
g. Is there anything that is expressly
excluded from the definition of payroll
costs?
Yes. The Act expressly excludes the
following:
i. Any compensation of an employee
whose principal place of residence is
outside of the United States;
ii. The compensation of an individual
employee in excess of an annual salary
of $100,000, prorated as necessary;
iii. Federal employment taxes
imposed or withheld between February
15, 2020 and June 30, 2020, including
the employee's and employer's share of
FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions
Act) and Railroad Retirement Act taxes,
and income taxes required to be
withheld from employees; and
iv. Qualified sick and family leave
wages for which a credit is allowed
under sections 7001 and 7003 of the
Families First Coronavirus Response
Act (Pub. L. 116-127).
h. Do independent contractors count as
employees for purposes of PPP loan
calculations?
No, independent contractors have the
ability to apply for a PPP loan on their
own so they do not count for purposes
of a borrower's PPP loan calculation.
i. What is the interest rate on a PPP
loan?
The interest rate will be 100 basis
points or one percent.
The Administrator, in consultation
with the Secretary, determined that a
one percent interest rate is appropriate.
First, it provides low cost funds to
borrowers to meet eligible payroll costs
and other eligible expenses during this
temporary period of economic
dislocation caused by the coronavirus.
Second, for lenders, the 100 basis points
offers an attractive interest rate relative
to the cost of funding for comparable
maturities. For example, the FDIC's
weekly national average rate for a 24-
month CD deposit product for the week
of March 30, 2020 is 42 basis points for
non-jumbo and 44 basis points for
jumbo (https:/ lwww.fdic.gov/
regulations/resources/rates/). Third, the
interest rate is higher than the yield on
Treasury securities of comparable
maturity. For example, the yield on the
Treasury two-year note is approximately
23 basis points. This higher yield
combined with the fact that the loans
are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA
and the fact that lenders will receive a
substantial processing fee from the SBA
provide ample inducement for lenders
to participate in the PPP.
j. What will be the maturity date on a
PPP loan?
The maturity is two years. While the
Act provides that a loan will have a
maximum maturity ofup to ten years
from the date the borrower applies for
loan forgiveness (described below), the
Administrator, in consultation with the
Secretary, determined that a two year
loan term is sufficient in light of the
temporary economic dislocations
caused by the coronavirus. Specifically,
the considerable economic disruption
caused by the coronavirus is expected to
abate well before the two year maturity
date such that borrowers will be able to
re-commence business operations and
pay off any outstanding balances on
their PPP loans.
k. Can I apply for more than one PPP
loan?
No. The Administrator, in
consultation with the Secretary,
determined that no eligible borrower
may receive more than one PPP loan.
This means that if you apply for a PPP
Paae 17
loan you should consider applying for
the maximum amount. While the Act
does not expressly provide that each
eligible borrower may only receive one
PPP loan, the Administrator has
determined, in consultation with the
Secretary, that because all PPP loans
must be made on or before June 30,
2020, a one loan per borrower limitation
is necessary to help ensure that as many
eligible borrowers as possible may
obtain a PPP loan. This limitation will
also help advance Congress' goal of
keeping workers paid and employed
across the United States.
I. Can I use a-signatures or a-consents if
a borrower has multiple owners?
Yes, a-signature or a-consents can be
used regardless of the number of
owners.
m. ls the PPP "first-come, first-served?"
Yes.
n. When will I have to begin paying
principal and interest on my PPP loan?
You will not have to make any
payments for six months following the
date of disbursement of the loan.
However, interest will continue to
accrue on PPP loans during this six-
month deferment. The Act authorizes
the Administrator to defer loan
payments for up to one year. The
Administrator determined, in
consultation with the Secretary, that a
six-month deferment period is
appropriate in light of the modest
interest rate (one percent) on PPP loans
and the loan forgiveness provisions
contained in the Act.
o. Can my PPP loan be forgiven in
whole or in part?
Yes. The amount ofloan forgiv0ness
can be up to the full principal amount
of the loan and any accrued interest.
That is, the borrower will not be
responsible for any loan payment if the
borrower uses all of the loan proceeds
for forgiveable purposes described
below and employee and compensation
levels are maintained. The actual
amount of loan forgiveness will depend,
in part, on the total amount of payroll
costs, payments of interest on mortgage
obligations incurred before February 15,
2020, rent payments on leases dated
before February 15, 2020, and utility
payments under service agreements
dated before February 15, 2020, over the
eight-week period following the date of
the loan. However, not more than 25
percent of the loan forgiveness amount
may be attributable to non-payroll costs.
While the Act provides that borrowers
are eligible for forgiveness in an amount
equal to the sum of payroll costs and
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 40 of 54
20814
Federal Register/ Vol. 85, No. 73 / Wednesday, April 15, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
any payments of mortgage interest, rent,
and utilities, the Administrator has
determined that the non-payroll portion
of the forgivable loan amount should be
limited to effectuate the core purpose of
the statute and ensure finite program
resources are devoted primarily to
payroll. The Administrator has
determined in consultation with the
Secretary that 75 percent is an
appropriate percentage in light of the
Act's overarching focus on keeping
workers paid and employed. Further,
the Administrator and the Secretary
believe that applying this threshold to
loan forgiveness is consistent with the
structure of the Act, which provides a
loan amount 75 percent of which is
equivalent to eight weeks of payroll (8
weeks/2.5 months= 56 days/76 days=
74 percent rounded up to 75 percent).
Limiting non-payroll costs to 25 percent
of the forgiveness amount will align
these elements of the program, and will
also help to ensure that the finite
appropriations available for PPP loan
forgiveness are directed toward payroll
protection. SBA will issue additional
guidance on loan forgiveness.
p. Do independent contractors count as
employees for purposes of PPP loan
forgiveness?
No, independent contractors have the
ability to apply for a PPP loan on their
own so they do not count for purposes
of a borrower's PPP loan forgiveness.
q. What forms do I need and how do I
submit an application?
The applicant must submit SBA Form
2483 (Paycheck Protection Program
Application Form) and payroll
documentation, as described above. The
lender must submit SBA Form 2484
(Paycheck Protection Program Lender's
Application for 7(a) Loan Guaranty)
electronically in accordance with
program requirements and maintain the
forms and supporting documentation in
its files.

April 3, 2020. If you received an SBA
EIDL loan from January 31, 2020
through April 3, 2020, you can apply for
a PPP loan. If your EIDL loan was not
used for payroll costs, it does not affect
your eligibility for a PPP loan. If your
EIDL loan was used for payroll costs,
your PPP loan must be used to refinance
your EIDL loan. Proceeds from any
advance up to $10,000 on the EIDL loan
will be deducted from the loan
forgiveness amount on the PPP loan.

that PP.P lolll'.l, proceeds Il:¥1Y be us~d for
.the purposes listed above and for other
allowable uses described in section 7(a)
\of the Small J;Jusiness Act (15 U.'~.C.
'636(a))1 the Admil;listrator believes that
finit~ appropriations and the structur~
of the Act warrant a·req11irement that
·borrowei:s use a substantial portion of
the loan proceec;ls for payroll costs,
consistent with Congress' overarching
goal of kel!ping worker$ paid and
eri_iployed. As with the similar
limitation on the forgiveness amount
explained earlier, the Administrator, in
consultation with the Secretary, has
determined that 75 percent is an
appropriate percentage that will align
this element of the program with the
loan amount, 75 percent of which is
equivalent to eight weeks of payroll.
This limitation on use of the loan funds
will help to ensure that the finite
appropriations available for these loans
are directed toward payroll protection,
as each loan that is issued depletes the
appropriation, regardless of whether
portions of the loan are later forgiven.
s. What happens if PPP loan funds are
misused?
If you use PPP funds for unauthorized
purposes, SBA will direct you to repay
those amounts. If you knowingly use the
funds for unauthorized purposes, you
will be subject to additional liability
such as charges for fraud. If one of your
shareholders, members, or partners uses
PPP funds for unauthorized purposes,
SBA will have recourse against the
shareholder, member, or partner for the
unauthorized use.

t. What certifications need to be made?
On the Paycheck Protection Program
application, an authorized
representative of the applicant must
certify in good faith to all of the below: 1
i. The applicant was in operation on
February 15, 2020 and had employees
for whom it paid salaries and payroll
taxes or paid independent contractors,
as reported on a Form 1099-MISC.
ii. Current economic uncertainty
makes this loan request necessary to
support the ongoing operations of the
applicant.
iii. The funds will be used to retain
workers and maintain payroll or make
mortgage interest payments, lease
payments, and utility payments; I
understand that if the funds are
knowingly used for unauthorized
purposes, the Federal Government may
hold me legally liable such as for
charges of fraud. As explained above,
not more than 25 percent of loan
proceeds may be used for non-payroll
costs.
iv. Documentation verifying the
number of full-time equivalent
employees on payroll as well as the
dollar amounts of payroll costs, covered
mortgage interest payments, covered
rent payments, and covered utilities for
the eight week period following this
loan will be provided to the lender.
v. Loan forgiveness will be provided
for the sum of documented payroll
costs, covered mortgage interest
payments, covered rent payments, and
covered utilities. As explained above,
not more than 25 percent of the forgiven
amount may be for non-payroll costs.
vi. During the period beginning on
February 15, 2020 and ending on
December 31, 2020, the applicant has
not and will not receive another loan
under this program.
vii. I further certify that the
information provided in this application
and the information provided in all
supporting documents and forms is true
and accurate in all material respects. I
understand that knowingly making a
false statement to obtain a guaranteed
loan from SBA is punishable under the
law, including under 18 U.S.C. 1001
and 3571 by imprisonment of not more
than five years and/or a fine of up to
$250,000; under 15 U.S.C. 645 by
imprisonment of not more than two
years and/or a fine of not more than
$5,000; and, if submitted to a federally
insured institution, under 18 U.S.C.
1014 by imprisonment of not more than
thirty years and/or a fine of not more
than $1,000,000.
1 A representative of the applicant can certify for
the business as a whole if the representative is
legally authorized to do so.

viii. I acknowledge that the lender
will confirm the eligible loan amount
using tax documents I h.ave s~9mi_tted.
I affirm that these tax documents are
identical to those submitteg. t_g_th~
"Internal Revenue Service. I also
understand, acknowledge, end agree
that the Lender can share the tax
information with SBA's authorized
representatives, including authorized
representatives of the SBA Office of
Inspector General, for the purpose of
compliance with SBA Loan Program
Requirements and all SBA reviews.
3. Whet do lenders need to know and
do?
a. Who is eligible to make PPP loans?
i. All SBA 7(a) lenders are
automatically approved to make PPP
loans on e delegated basis.
ii. The Act provides that the authority
to make PPP loans can be extended to
additional lenders determined by the
Administrator and the Secretary to have
the necessary qualifications to process,
close, disburse, and service loans made
with the SBA guarantee. Since SBA is
authorized to make PPP loans up to
$349 billion by June 30, 2020, the
Adminstrator and the Secretary have
jointly determined that authorizing
additional lenders is necessary to
achieve the purpose of allowing as
many eligible borrowers as possible to
receive loans by the June 30, 2020
deadline.
iii. The following types of lenders
have been determined to meet the
criteria and are eligible to make PPP
loans unless they currently are
designated in Troubled Condition by
their primary Federal regulator or are
subject to a formal enforcement action
with their primary Federal regulator that
addresses unsafe or unsound lending
practices:
I. Any federally insured depository
institution or eny federally insured
credit union;
II. Any Farm Credit System institution
(other than the Federal Agricultural
Mortgage Corporation) as defined in 12
U.S.C. 2002(a) that applies the
requirements under the Bank Secrecy
Act and its implementing regulations
(collectively, BSA) es a federally
regulated financial institution, or
functionally equivalent requirements
that are not altered by this rule; and
ill. Any depository or non-depository
financing provider that originates,
maintains, and services business loans
or other commercial financial
receivables and participation interests;
has a formalized compliance program;
applies the requirements under the BSA
as a federally regulated financial
institution, or the BSA requirements of
an equivalent federally regulated
financial institution; has been operating
since at least February 15, 2019, and hes
originated, maintained, and serviced
more than $50 million in business loans
or other commercial financial
receivables during a consecutive 12
month period in the past 36 months, or
is a service provider to any insured
depository institution that has a contract
to support such institution's lending
activities in accordance with 12 U.S.C.
1867(c) and is in good standing with the
appropriate Federal banking_ agency.
1v. Qualified institutions described in
3.a.iii.I. and II. will be automatically
qualified under delegated authority by
the SBA upon transmission of CARES
Act Section 1102 Lender Agreement
(SBA Form 3506) unless they currently
are designated in Troubled Condition by
their primary Federal regulator or are
subject to a formal enforcement action
by their primary Federal regulator that
addresses unsafe or unsound lending
practices.
b. What do lenders have to do in terms
ofloan underwriting?
Each lender shall:
i. Confirm receipt of borrower
certifications contained in Paycheck
Protection Program Application form
issued by the Administration;
ii. Confirm receipt of information
demonstrating that a borrower had
employees for whom the borrower paid
salaries and payroll taxes on or around
February 15, 2020;
iii. Confirm the dollar amount of
average monthly payroll costs for the
preceding calendar year by reviewing
the payroll documentation submitted
with the borrower's application; and
iv. Follow applicable BSA
requirements:
I. Federally insured depository
institutions and federally insured credit
unions should continue to follow their
existing BSA protocols when making
PPP loans to either new or existing
customers who are eligible borrowers
under the PPP. PPP loans for existing
customers will not require re-
verification under applicable BSA
requirements, unless otherwise
indicated by the institution's risk-based
approach to BSA compliance.
II. Entities that are not presently
subject to the requirements of the BSA,
should, prior to engaging in PPP lending
activities, including making PPP loans
to either new or existing customers who
are eligible borrowers under the PPP,
establish an anti-money laundering
(AML) compliance program equivalent
to that of a comparable federally
regulated institution. Depending upon
the comparable federally regulated
institution, such a program may include
a customer identification program (CIP),
which includes identifying and
verifying their PPP borrowers' identities
(including e.g., date of birth, address,
and taxpayer identification number),
and, if that PPP borrower is a company,
following any applicable beneficial
ownership information collection
requirements. Alternatively, if available,
entities may rely on the CIP of a
federally insured depository institution
or federally insured credit union with
an established CIP as part of its AML
program. In either instance, entities
should also understand the nature and
purpose of their PPP customer
relationships to develop customer risk
profiles. Such entities will also
generally have to identify and report
certain suspicious activity to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury's Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
If such entities have questions with
regard to meeting these requirements,
they should contact the FinCEN
Regulatory Support Section at FRC@
fincen.gov. In addition, FinCEN hes
created a COVID-19-specific contact
channel, via a specific drop-down
category, for entities to communicate to
FinCEN COVID-19-related concerns
while adhering to their BSA obligations.
Entities that wish to communicate such
COVID-19-related concerns to FinCEN
should go to www.FinCEN.gov, click on
"Need Assistance," and select
"COVID19" in the subject drop-down
list.
Each lender's underwriting obligation
under the PPP is limited to the items
above and reviewing the "Paycheck
Protection Application Form."
Borrowers must submit such
documentation as is necessary to
establish eligibility such as payroll
processor records, payroll tax filings, or
Form 1099-MISC, or income and
expenses from a sole proprietorship. For
borrowers that do not have any such
documentation, the borrower must
provide other supporting
documentation, such as bank records,
sufficient to demonstrate the qualifying
payroll amount.
c. Can lenders rely on borrower
documentation for loan forgiveness?
Yes. The lender does not need to
conduct any verification if the borrower
submits documentation supporting its
request for loan forgiveness and attests
that it has accurately verified the
payments for eligible costs. The
Administrator will hold harmless any
lender that relies on such borrower
docwnents and attestation from a
borrower. The Administrator, in
Case 1:22-cr-00171-MLB-RDC Document 245 Filed 10/01/25 Page 42 of 54
• 20816
Federal Register/Vol. 85, No. 73/Wednesday, April 15, 2020/Rules and Regulations
consultation with the Secretary, has
determined that lender reliance on a
borrower's required documents and
attestation is necessary and appropriate
in light of section 1106(h) of the Act,
which prohibits the Administrator from
taking an enforcement action or
imposing penalties if the lender has
received a borrower attestation.
d. What fees will lenders be paid?
SBA will pay lenders fees for
processing PPP loans in the following
amounts:
i. Five (5) percent for loans of not
more than $350,000;
ii. Three (3) percent for loans of more
than $350,000 and less than $2,000,000;
and
iii. One (1) percent for loans of at least
$2,000,000.
e. Do lenders have to apply the "credit
elsewhere test"?
No. When evaluating an applicant's
eligibility lenders will not be required to
apply the "credit elsewhere test" (as set
forth in section 7(a)(l)(A) of the Small
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636) and SBA
regulations at 13 CFR 120.101)).
4. What do both borrowers and lenders
need to know and do?
a. What are the loan terms and
conditions?
Loans will be guaranteed under the
PPP under the same terms, conditions
and processes as other 7(a) loans, with
certain changes including but not
limited to:
i. The guarantee percentage is 100
percent.
ii. No collateral will be required.
iii. No personal guarantees will be
re9.uired.
1v. The interest rate will be 100 basis
points or one percent.
v. All loans will be processed by all
lenders under delegated authority and
lenders will be permitted to rely on
certifications of the borrower in order to
determine eligibility of the borrower
and the use of loan proceeds.
b. Are there any fee waivers?
i. There will be no up-front guarantee
fee payable to SBA by the Borrower;
ii. There will be no lender's annual
service fee ("on-going guaranty fee")
payable to SBA;
iii. There will be no subsidy
recoupment fee; and
iv. There will be no fee payable to
SBA for any guarantee sold into the
secondary market.
c. Who pays the fee to an agent who
assists a borrower?
Agent fees will be paid by the lender
out of the fees the lender receives from
SBA. Agents may not collect fees from
the borrower or be paid out of the PPP
loan proceeds. The total amount that an
agent may collect from the lender for
assistance in preparing an application
for a PPP loan (including referral to the
lender) may not exceed:
i. One (lJ percent for loans of not
more than $350,000;
ii. 0.50 percent for loans of more than
$350,000 and less than $2 million; and
iii. 0.25 percent for loans of at least $2
million.
The Act authorizes the Administrator
to establish limits on agent fees. The
Administrator, in consultation with the
Secretary, determined that the agent fee
limits set forth above are reasonable
based upon the application req
uirements and the fees that lenders
receive for making PPP loans.
d. Can PPP loans be sold into the
secondary market?
Yes. A PPP loan may be sold on the
secondary market after the loan is fully
disbursed. A PPP loan may be sold on
the secondary market at a premium or
a discount to par value. SBA will issue
guidance regarding any advance
purchase for loans sold in the secondary
market.
e. Can SBA purchase some or all of the
loan in advance?
Yes. A lender may request that the
SBA purchase the expected forgiveness
amount of a PPP loan or pool of PPP
loans at the end of week seven of the
covered period. The expected
forgiveness amount is the amount of
loan principal the lender reasonably
expects the borrower to expend on
payroll costs, covered mortgage interest,
covered rent, and covered utility
payments during the eight week period
after loan disbursement. At least 75
percent of the expected forgiveness
amount shall be for payroll costs, as
provided in 2.o. To submit a PPP loan
or pool of PPP loans for advance
purchase, a lender shall submit a report
requesting advance purchase with the
expected forgiveness amount to the
SBA. The report shall include: the
Paycheck Protection Program
Application Form (SBA Form 2483) and
any supporting documentation
submitted with such application; the
Paycheck Protection Program Lender's
Application for 7(a) Loan Guaranty
(SBA Form 2484) and any supporting
documentation; a detailed narrative
explaining the assumptions used in
determining the expected forgiveness
amount, the basis for those assumptions,
alternative assumptions considered, and
why alternative assumptions were not
used; any information obtained from the
borrower since the loan was disbursed
that the lender used to determine the
expected forgiveness amount, which
should include the same documentation
required to apply for loan forgiveness
such as payroll tax filings, cancelled
checks, and other payment
documentation; and any additional
information the Administrator may
require to determine whether the
expected forgiveness amount is
reasonable. The Administrator, in
consultation with the Secretary,
determined that seven weeks is the
minimum period of time necessary for
a lender to reasonably determine the
expected forgiveness amount for a PPP
loan or pool of PPP loans, since the PPP
is a new program and the likelihood that
many borrowers will be new clients of
the lender. The expected forgiveness
amount may not exceed the total
amount of principal on the PPP loan or
pool of loans. The Administrator will
purchase the expected forgiveness
amount of the PPP loan(s) within 15
days of the date on which the
Administrator receives a complete
report that demonstrates that the
expected forgiveness amount is indeed
reasonable.
5. Additional Information
All loans guaranteed by the SBA
pursuant to the CARES Act will be
made consistent with constitutional,
statutory, and regulatory protections for
religious liberty, including the First
Amendment to the Constitution, the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 42
u.s.c. 2ooobb-1 and bb-3, and SBA
regulation at 13 CFR 113.3-lh, which
provides that nothing in SBA
nondiscrimination regulations shall
apply to a religious corporation,
association, educational institution or
society with respect to the membershlp
or the employment of individuals of a
particular religion to perform work
connected with the carrying on by such
corporation, association, educational
institution or society of its religious
activities. SBA intends to promptly
issue additional guidance with regard to
religious liberty protections under this
program.
SBA may provide further guidance, if
needed, through SBA notices and a
program guide which will be posted on
SBA's website at www.sba.gov.

Federal Register/Vol. 85, No. 73/Wednesday, April 15, 2020/Rules and Regulations
20817
Compliance With Executive Orders
12866, 12988, 13132, and 13771, the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Ch. 35), and the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612)
E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563
This interim final rule is
economically significant for the
purposes of Executive Orders 12866 and
13563. SBA, however, is proceeding
under the emergency provision at
Executive Order 12866 Section
6(a)(3)(D) based on the need to move
expeditiously to mitigate the current
economic conditions arising from the
COVID-19 emergency. This rule's
designation under Executive Order
13771 will be informed by public
comment.
This rule is necessary to implement
Sections 1102 and 1106 of the CARES
Act in order to provide economic relief
to small businesses nationwide
adversely impacted under the COVID-
19 Emergency Declaration. We
anticipate that this rule will result in
substantial benefits to small businesses,
their employees, and the communities
they serve. However, we lack data to
estimate the effects of this rule.
Executive Order 12988
SBA has drafted this rule, to the
extent practicable, in accordance with
the standards set forth in section 3(a)
and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden. The rule
has no preemptive or retroactive effect.
Executive Order 13132
SBA has determined that this rule
will not have substantial direct effects
on the States, on the relationship
between the National Government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various layers of government. Therefore,
SBA has determined that this rule has
no federalism implications warranting
preparation of a federalism assessment.
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
Chapter35
SBA has determined that this rule
will impose recordkeeping or reporting
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act ("PRA"). SBA has
obtained emergency approval under
0MB Control Number 3245-0407 for the
information collection (IC) required to
implement the program described
above. This IC consists of Form 2483
(Paycheck Protection Program
Application Form), SBA Form 2484
(Paycheck Protection Program Lender's
Application for 7(a) Loan Guaranty),
and SBA Form 3506 (CARES Act
Section 1102 Lender Agreement), and
SBA Form 3507 (CARES Act Section
1102 Lender Agreement-Non-Bank and
Non-Insured Depository Institution
Lender). The collection is approved for
use until September 30, 2020.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RF A)
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RF A)
generally requires that when an agency
issues a proposed rule, or a final rule
pursuant to section 553(b) of the APA or
another law, the agency must prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis that meets
the requirements of the RF A and
publish such analysis in the Federal
Register. 5 U.S.C. 603, 604. Specifically,
the RF A normally requires agencies to
describe the impact of a rulemaking on
small entities by providing a regulatory
impact analysis. Such analysis must
address the consideration of regulatory
options that would lessen the economic
effect of the rule on small entities. The
RFA defines a "small entity" as (1) a
proprietary firm meeting the size
standards of the Small Business
Administration (SBA); (2) a nonprofit
organization that is not dominant in its
field; or (3) a small government
jurisdiction with a population of less
than 50,000. 5 U.S.C. 601(3)-(6). Except
for such small government jurisdictions,
neither State nor local governments are
"small entities." Similarly, for purposes
of the RF A, individual persons are not
small entities.
The requirement to conduct a
regulatory impact analysis does not
apply if the head of the agency "certifies
that the rule will not, if promulgated,
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities."
5 U.S.C. 605(b). The agency must,
however, publish the certification in the
Federal Register at the time of
publication of the rule, "along with a
statement providing the factual basis for
such certification." If the agency head
has not waived the requirements for a
regulatory flexibility analysis in
accordance with the RFA's waiver
provision, and no other RF A exception
applies, the agency must prepare the
regulatory flexibility analysis and
publish it in the Federal Register at the
time of promulgation or, if the rule is
promulgated in response to an
emergency that makes timely
compliance impracticable, within 180
days of publication of the final rule. 5
u.s.c. 604(a.}, 608(b).
Rules that are exempt from notice and
comment are also exempt from the RF A
requirements, including conducting a
regulatory flexibility analysis, when
among other things the agency for good
cause finds that notice and public
procedure are impracticable,
Paqe 16
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. Small Business
Administration's Office of Advocacy
guide: How to Comply with the
Regulatory Flexibility Ac. Ch.1. p.9.
Accordingly, SBA is not required to
conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 636{a)(36);

Security Act, Public Law 116-136,

ACTION: Interim final rule.
SUMMARY: Elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register, the U.S. Small
Business Administration (SBA) is
publishing an interim final rule (the
Initial Rule) announcing the
implementation of sections 1102 and
1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act or
the Act}. Section 1102 of the Act
temporarily adds a new program, titled
the "Paycheck Protection Program," to
the SBA's 7(a} Loan Program. Section
1106 of the Act provides for forgiveness
of up to the full principal amount of
qualifying loans guaranteed under the
Paycheck Protection Program. The
Paycheck Protection Program and loan
forgiveness are intended to provide
economic relief to small businesses
nationwide adversely impacted by the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
This interim final rule supplements the
Initial Rule with additional guidance
regarding the application of certain
affiliate rules applicable to SBA's
implementation of sections 1102 and
1106 of the Act and requests public
comment.
DATES:
Effective date: This interim final rule
is effective April 15, 2020.
Applicability date: This interim final
rule applies to applications submitted
under the Paycheck Protection Program
through June 30, 2020, or until funds
made available for this purpose are
exhausted.

I initially filed this motion on 09/08/2025 however after a hearing with
Judge Brown on 09/23/2025, he stated the Motion filed pursuant to 28USCS2255 has to
be treated as a separate case on its own and not as part of the current criminal case. I do
not know if Judge Browns Clerk or Judge Cannon Clerk will do that automatically or I
have to refile it. So please check with them and if It has not already been done please
refile this appropriately according to how 28USCS2255 motion are treated with its own
case number and as civil case I believe. I do not have an attorney so I am filing this pro
( .
