Every Paycheck Protection Program loan of $150,000 or more — 968,524 loans totaling $513.9 billion, of which $499.2 billion was forgiven (97% forgiveness rate). Each record names the borrower, address, NAICS, jobs claimed, current approval amount, forgiveness amount, originating lender, and use-of-funds breakdown (payroll, rent, utilities, mortgage interest, health care, debt interest). The most expensive small-business program in U.S. history; the data exposes both legitimate small-business support and the high-profile fraud that followed (mansions, churches, celebrities).
