> In February 2019, the VCF Special Master, Rupa Bhattacharyya, announced in her monthly status report that the VCF was running low on funds. Out of the $7.375 billion allotted to the fund in 2015, the VCF had just $2 billion left to cover victim compensation claims for the next two years. To stretch the remaining funds and cover the increasing number of claims filed, Bhattacharyya proposed a 50-70% cut to compensation awards.
These people will gladly slash a victim fund to save a buck, and then print $6T to bailout their rich friends.
They will help no one if it doesn't help their careers.
