Odaily News Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the leaders of the U.S. government's efficiency department, wrote on X: "The Treasury Department maintains a 'Refusal to Pay (DNP) List' and requires agencies to check it before issuing funds. DNP screens for deaths, defaulting on federal debts, and excluded contractors. But it doesn't actually work like this: for example, the Small Business Administration issued more than 100,000 forgivable loans to individuals on the DNP list, resulting in $5.3 billion being paid to recipients who may not be eligible for federal support. The SBA Inspector General recognized this and recommended that the agency stop the practice, but the agency's current leadership rejected the proposal. This blatant waste must stop. It's time for DOGE to work." Elon Musk commented that the scale and audacity of government fraud was shocking.
