We are continuing our discussion time to review the massive amount of criminal fraud that has infected government programs for many, many years. The outstanding investigations recently done, and still being done, by independent journalist, Nick Shirley, has started a cascading identification of the numerous fraud instances at all levels of government across the country.
It is unbelievable how many billions of dollars have been wasted and are currently being wasted and siphoned off by all types of criminal activities. And while it is amazing how much taxpayer wealth has been wasted and lost, possibly even more amazing is the reality that through the decades the political class and the government entities they overlook were unable or unwilling to stop the fraud.
1)In our many discussions of criminal defrauding of taxpayers and government programs, we have discussed illegal immigrants and American citizens involved in the fraud. But American politicians have also been very active in stealing taxpayer wealth through fraud:
Recent indictments up in Massachusetts of a state politician and a city mayor illustrate this point.
Each was indicted in 11 count indictments for Covid program fraud.
Allegations include money laundering, wire fraud, and filing false claims against Covid relief programs.
One of those indicted collected over $700,000 by filing false claims.
The other defendant allegedly collected over $1.5 million and used the stolen funds for campaign funding, paying off tax liabilities, and paying down mortgages.
These two culprits are just two of over 3,500 alleged fraudsters and $1,4 billion that the Federal government’s Covid-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force have tracked down.
If these folks are found guilty it is another sad chapter for the political class: individuals that should know better and be actively protecting taxpayer wealth end up stealing the wealth that they should have protected. Disgusting.
2)Why does it seem that whenever we review fraud schemes we always end up in Minnesota, a state that is the poster child for defrauding the government’s programs and taxpayer dollars:
In 2021, the Minnesota Department of Human Services gave out an Outstanding Refugee Award to Salman Ahmed Elmi.
Elmi operated a company called RevaHealth in Minnesota.
But now Elmi is accused of claiming more than $4.5 million in Medicaid services that were never provided.
Charges include aiding and abetting theft by swindle and aiding and abetting theft by false representation.
Two co-conspirators were also busted for sex trafficking involving brothels.
Thus, facilities that were supposedly providing Medicaid services were actually acting as houses of prostitution.
A co-honoree of Elmi from that 2021 award, Ayan Abukar, has already been convicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal.
Of the 92 people that Federal prosecutors have charged in various Minnesota fraud schemes 82 of them are Somali natives.
Great. Minnesota politicians and government bureaucrats honor foreign born nationals that end up stealing from American born taxpayers, pretty big disconnect.
3)Besides Minnesota, the state of California appears to be the second epicenter of fraud in the country and the Trump administration is finally taking action to crack down on Minnesota and California's inability to control criminal fraud:
In late July, Health and Human Service secretary, Robert F.Kennedy, Jr., announced that the Federal government was going to withhold more than $1 billion from these two states because of the apparent fraud in their states.
$867.5 million is being held back from California and $199 million is being held back from Minnesota.
These are temporary holds until the two states can prove they are actually and diligently tracking the trail of taxpayer money out of government programs.
Caofiornia payments to in-home health care companies look very suspicious, growing faster than the national average.
In Minnesota, there are 14 programs that have suspicious activity beyond the average.
This comes on the heels of a recent Department of Justice California case that involved $50 million in health care fraud as a result of “Operation Never say Die,” where eight individuals of supposed hospice companies are accused of billing Medicare for patients in hospice who were not terminally ill.
Again, the two epicenters in the country for massive government program fraud, California and Minnesota.
4)The House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency (DOGE) sent letters out to every governor asking for states to turn over data relative to the Federal SNAP/food stamp programming order to try and find out where there might be fraud going on. Reasonable request: the Feds give money to the states to fund SNAP and should be able to audit the results and processes used to spend Federal taxpayer money.
However, five states, NewYork, California, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, have refused to comply with this logical and simple request. The SNAP program costs taxpayers over $100 billion a year, and it has been shown to be a frequent target of fraudsters. Given that the subcommittee has already identified over $3 billion in potential waste in the program in other states, why would these five states not want to help ferret out fraud?
Unfortunately, these five states have some of the largest SNAP populations in the country so the potential for finding fraud in these states is high. But given that California is known for widespread fraud, New York and Illinois are on the top of our list for states most likely to go bankrupt because of mismanagement and ineptness, it is not surprising that these states are afraid to disclose what should be a normal, audit-wise process of uncovering fraud. Disgusting disrespect for taxpayer wealth.
4)Let’s finish up with another trip to fraud infested California:
Nick Shirley, the independent journalist who started off the awareness of the widespread fraud across the country, recently dropped a new video related to massive fraud in California.
Shirley's latest effort has exposed over $170 million in fraud in the state in daycares, learning centers, and hospices.
Specifically: “We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences,” Nick Shirley said.
California’s Medicaid budget has grown from $107 billion a year to a whopping $222 billion 2026, more than a 100% increase in just a few years while the state population has grown far less than that, indicating that fraud has overtaken the budget.
Furthermore, LA County hospice care expenses over the past few years have grown by 1,000%, a figure that cannot be explained any other way than fraud.
Shirley and staff visited bogus hospices and daycares in the state and found no patients or customers.
Another day, another day of massive California fraud. To get the video

Enough fraud for today: California and Minnesota continue to be the leaders in fraud but other states continue to protect the fraud in their backyards as the American taxpayer continues to get screwed.
