PPP Blues: The Rise and Fall of Cory E.”

In the heart of the Lou, where the hustle runs deep,
Cory built her name, dreams stacked in concrete.
A contractor queen with a hammer in hand,
But greed laid the blueprint for a fall she hadn’t planned.

Pandemic hit hard, the world in despair,
PPP loans promised relief everywhere.
She saw the system, a crack in the wall,
Inflated her payroll, made the numbers stand tall.

Two loans, big stacks—1.7 mil,
But the cash didn’t flow where she said it will.
Union dues, investments, personal flair,
While workers and jobs hung in thin air.

The feds came knocking, the truth laid bare,
Wire fraud charges, no room to repair.
Three years in the pen, a tragic descent,
A queen of construction, now a cautionary lament.

Cory, we hope you’ve learned from the fall,
That shortcuts to riches can ruin it all.
PPP fraud ain’t just a victimless game,
It’s a stain on the system, a mark of shame.

To others who hustle, let this be a guide,
Integrity’s the foundation where success should reside.
Cory’s story’s a tragedy, a lesson to heed,
Build your empire on truth, not on greed.
