Bridge Financing
Bridge financing is the key mechanism for understanding the transition from SAP to fraud.
01 Definition
A funding mechanism where investors provide short-term capital to a company expecting a larger payment (such as a government contract) in the near future. Legitimate when the expected payment is real; becomes fraud when the payment is fabricated.
02 Detailed_Analysis
Bridge financing is the mechanism that connects the SAP phase (real government connections) to the fraud phase (fabricated claims). During the SAP phase, bridge financing was based on real relationships. After termination, the same mechanism was used with fabricated claims.
03 Key_Facts
- ▸ Legitimate during SAP phase (real connections)
- ▸ Becomes fraud when claims are fabricated
- ▸ Pivot point: ~2018-2019 when cut-out terminated
