SBA Fraud News, January 2026: The Complete Month

What this page is. Through January 2026 this site published a dated item each day under the heading “SBA Fraud News and Investigation Report”. Fourteen of those items carried the same body text and differed only in their date and their headline. They have been consolidated here so that the month reads as one record rather than fourteen near-identical pages, and the old addresses now redirect to this page.

Two stories ran through the month: the Small Business Administration suspending roughly 6,900 to 7,000 Minnesota borrowers over suspected pandemic loan fraud said to involve around $400 million, and the agency turning to Palantir for fraud detection in the wake of it. Both are covered in full in the reports linked below.
