More Than 50 Employees at Cook County Court Clerk’s Office Leave Amid COVID-19 Fraud Probes

More than 50 employees from the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County have either been fired or chosen to resign amid COVID-19 relief fraud allegations.

The employees were found to have defrauded the Paycheck Protection Program designed to help businesses stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Iris Martinez, clerk of the circuit court, whose office employs more than 1,400 staff, says she’s “personally offended” by the fraud.

In an interview with WTTW News, Martinez said she had asked the county’s Office of the Independent Inspector General (OIIG) to assist the clerk’s own inspector general’s investigation into the fraud.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

How is just "resignation"  an option for fraud?
