Welp, I don't know how accurate that is. Our family does not qualify for the $1,200/$2,400 check. Dear daughter did not get hers yet, ex got it already, don't know about daughter in central america.
Dear spouse's co already got their $$$ and the $ went to administrative staff, office managers and nobody got terminated, dear spouse and the other c-suites got none of the money. Dear spouse's admin got the benefit as her husband got furloughed, so they qualified for both benefits.
As you know dear spouse is a CPA and CFO for a large PE firm with an accounting staff, and they are still scratching their heads on this, china could have picked not audit and tax season to do this.
Journalists should stick to journalism and not opinion pieces.
