Yeah it obvious that the way the system was set up was there was very little upfront verifications with it being off loaded to the non-profit and then pushed to the USDA for after the fact prosecution. So a strange system for sure with lots of trust on the non-profits.

But I can see the need for speed during a global pandemic but can see it was taken advantage of.
