 Tens of millions of dollars earmarked by U.S. lawmakers to assist small businesses in the coronavirus-induced economic downturn went to investment banks advising on corporate dealmaking, according to official data released on Monday. As part of the Paycheck Protection Program PPP, companies had to certify in good faith that current economic uncertainty makes this loan necessary to support their ongoing operations. Broadhaven Capital Partners LLC, which according to its website has advised on more than 50 billion worth of deals in the past decade, including the 4.5 billion sale this year of asset manager Legg Mason Inc to rival Franklin Resources Inc, applied for and was cleared for a PPP loan of between 350,000 and 1 million, according to a list released by the U.S. government on Monday.
