- RecycledEle 2y agoMy guess (and this is only a guess) that the Chinese guy set up bots that applied for $5.9 billion but very little if any of that was ever paid to him. It is my guess that the powers that be stole $trillions$. To cover up, they are going to blame this one foreign national then say the investigations are over.
