The point was to get money out fast. Everyone knew it would get into some wrong hands, but the window is small here. Any hope of coming out of this in a few months hinges on getting people support quickly.

And besides, all these small-business loans are exactly that; loans. You can get them forgiven later if you can show that you used it directly for salary. But later is the key word. Get the money out now, worry about forgiveness paperwork later.
