The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell
Criminal Activities

Attempting to remove and steal a bolted historical portrait from the Historical Society by cutting it from its frame and ripping it off the wall.
Situation:
"At the Historical Society, the three attempt to take down a portrait they dislike during their visit to get Paddy's Pub certified as a historic site; they discuss using a pocketknife and ripping it off the wall."
Fraud
Making false statements or omissions to obtain federally backed relief loans (PPP) or using funds for purposes other than represented to the lender/SBA. Under federal law, knowingly making false statements to obtain loan proceeds (and misuse of those proceeds) can constitute bank fraud and related federal offenses.
