SBA Expands Use of Palantir Software to Accelerate Pandemic Fraud Crackdown

Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced a new phase in its anti-fraud initiative in which it is deploying Palantir Technologies ($PLTR) software to advance the agency’s ongoing efforts to identify, investigate, and help prosecute fraud in pandemic-era small business relief programs, including the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and COVID Economic Injury Disaster Loan (COVID EIDL) program. This collaboration formalizes the Fraud Prevention Pilot Program that the agency launched earlier this year with Palantir software, using advanced technology and artificial intelligence to surface data and leads, support criminal enforcement, and assist in the recovery of funds for American taxpayers.

“Under the Biden Administration, the SBA’s pandemic relief programs saw staggering levels of abuse that robbed taxpayers and small businesses alike, accounting for as much as 20% of the more than $1.2 trillion in aid meant for Main Street,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “The Trump SBA’s initiative, powered by Palantir software, will strengthen our ability to expose fraudulent actors, support criminal enforcement actions, and recover stolen funds with advanced technology and artificial intelligence. No amount of fraud is acceptable — whether it is $10,000 or $10 million — which is why the SBA is deploying these tools to accelerate our work to surface wrongdoing and ensure those who cheated taxpayer-funded programs face consequences. The American people deserve accountability and a federal government that has the controls to prevent fraud in the first place, and that is exactly what the SBA will continue to deliver.”

Palantir software will enhance the SBA’s data analysis capabilities to support its fraud detection efforts as the agency continues to address fraud across COVID-era relief programs in coordination with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, the U.S. Department of Justice, the SBA Office of Inspector General, and other law enforcement partners. These tools will help the agency analyze large datasets, flag anomalies, identify potential indicators of coordinated schemes, accelerate investigative leads, and identify funds obtained through false or fraudulent applications for further action.
This started out as a $300K pilot for Palantir, it has turned it $8M 1 year project.

$8M to save billions, this is Palantir in a nutshell.
You pay Pili $10M, they save you $100M, just wait till they help recover Billion's and the contract is up in a year. How many B's incoming?

"Free cashflow of $15-$18B in next 2 years"
"We are undervalued right now"
