Why Did No One Check if These Businesses Existed?

4/24/25 Department of Justice press release:
"LOS ANGELES – A Kern County man and three of his sisters were sentenced today to federal prison terms for participating in a scheme in which they created nonexistent businesses and then claiming more than $1.1 million in unemployment benefits for purported employees of those fake businesses."

California did not verify that these businesses existed before paying unemployment to former employees.   How hard would it have been to verify that these employers had paid unemployment insurance to California?
