I guess Uncle Sugar was just itching to dole out money to the likes of Mark Noss.
Although the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued guidance barring applicants "presently involved in a bankruptcy" from qualifying for the PPP loan program, that legal prohibition didn't stop Mark Noss...or someone operating on his behalf.
