Businesses that received more than $2 million from the federal government’s virus relief loan program will face criminal liability if they made false claims, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned on April 28.

“This was a program designed for small businesses. It was not a program that was designed for public companies if they had liquidity,” Mnuchin said during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
