Federal Judge Sentences Fresno Trucking Businessman to Prison for PPP Scam
A federal judge in California sentenced Gurjeet Bath, a Fresno trucking businessman, to fourteen months in prison for defrauding the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) out of over $825,000. Bath admitted to falsifying loan applications for his two companies, G.S. Bath and Complete Transportation Solutions, between 2020 and 2021. He inflated employee numbers and wages, pocketing over $840,000 for one company and nearly $200,000 for the other. Instead of paying workers, he bought two properties with the cash. Although Bath repaid the funds, the judge ordered him to reimburse $848,000 to the Small Business Administration and imposed a $100,000 fine. This case highlights the ongoing efforts to hold fraudsters accountable for exploiting crisis aid programs.
