Occam's razor says the more likely answer is that the claim itself is misleading/embellished/BS.
Nobody (not even Doge) has said it was fraudelenty spent. They said they just can't track it to verify it. They, and the bill, would like to at least get some proper accounting of the expenditures which they are currently unable to do for $4.7T. As it is now, they are unmarked, untraceable, unlabeled and unauditable. Do you think that is a good thing?
