    VSoft to Pay Nearly $2.3M Over PPP Eligibility Allegations

    VSoft Corporation has agreed to pay $2,291,927.07 to resolve False Claims Act allegations that it improperly obtained a second-draw Paycheck Protection Program loan.

    According to the DOJ, VSoft, an Atlanta-based banking and payment solutions provider, allegedly certified that it qualified as a small business with fewer than 300 employees when applying for a $1,259,732 PPP loan. Prosecutors alleged that VSoft was actually part of an international corporate structure with multiple locations worldwide and employee totals well above the second-draw PPP limit.

    This is exactly the kind of case Find Corporate Waste was built to track: follow the money, stop the fraud, and protect taxpayer dollars. Pandemic relief was designed to keep legitimate small businesses alive, not to subsidize companies that allegedly avoided size and affiliation rules.

    The case began as a whistleblower action under the False Claims Act: United States ex rel. GHGH2, Inc. v. Vsoft Technologies Corporation, Case No. 3:24-cv-999 (W.D.N.C.).

    The settlement resolves allegations only, with no determination of liability. But the message is clear: insiders, competitors, lenders, and data reviewers remain essential to exposing improper relief claims and helping recover public funds.
