Re:Vermont's Remote Worker Grant Program by kenpomeroy on Friday December 28, 2018 @12:22PM (#18778057)

1. Sign lease for apartment in VT.

2. Lease deposit + new computer products = "qualified remote worker expenses".

3. Receive grant funds.

4. Resell computer products and never move to VT.

5. Put apartment on AirBNB.

6. Profit.

I haven't read the actual legislation, but I'd expect it accounts for fraud and what you're describing is an intent to commit fraud. Maybe you don't get caught but if you do, step 6 is gonna be damn expensive.
