Government Tax Fraud and Corruption, Part 16: More Fraud in California and Minnesota, Fraud Cover Up In Blue States and More

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.

Government Tax Fraud And Corruption, Part 14: Government Fraud From The West Coast To The East Coast, From Medicare to SNAP And Everywhere In Between

1)A lot of the fraud schemes we have reviewed over the past months seemed to be focused on Covid, Medicare,and Medicaid. But that does not mean people are not trying to defraud other government programs:

The United States Department of Agriculture believes that fraudsters could be ripping off the government and taxpayers for as much as $12 billion in the SNAP/food stamp program.
The Feds recently busted 17 different criminal networks for stealing SNAP funds across seven states that allegedly stole $350 million dollars from the SNAP program.
One scheme allegedly involved Rajaie Ahmad Ali and others who ran a Kwik Stop in Miami.
The plan involved legitimate SNAP recipients selling their SNAP benefits at a discount to Ali and others who then pocketed the difference between the face value and what they bought the benefits for after submitting almost $20 million in fraudulent transactions at their store cash register.
Two of his co-conspirators are foreign nationals and he was supposed to have been deported years ago but was allowed to continue to defraud in the face of possible deportation.
The defrauding started in 2019 and went on for years before someone noticed that a single Kwik Stop store maybe is not really doing $20 million worth of SNAP business.

Unreal lack of audit controls in the disbursing of taxpayer money.

2)A few more busted fraud schemes from around the country:

In Alabama, a tax preparer filed thousands of fraudulent energy tax returns and defrauded the government of $70 million.
In Mississippi, a Federal government employee with the Small Business Administration and a former IRS employee used the government’s disaster loan approval process to defraud the government of $11.5 million.
In Louisiana, former police officers forged fake crime reports to help foreigners get US visas and charged $5,000 for each fake crime victim.
Inmates at a Federal prison in Mississippi ran a fraud operation from inside the prison walls, using stolen identities to collect $4.3 million in fraudulent unemployment and disaster loan payments.
Illegal immigrants from Romania in North Carolina operated a mulrti-state SNAP fraud scheme, robbing legitimate families in need.
The CEO of a charter school in Louisiana diverted Federal education funds into his family's pockets in addition to purchasing high end cars and vacationing in Egypt.
South Carolina’s anti-fraud effort has already discovered a single Medicaid fraud that defrauded taxpayers of $20 million.
The Louisiana attorney general recently announced that she has convicted more than 100 fraudsters and recovered $73 million in stolen funds.

Good news all around, the government via JD Vance’s anti-fraud taskforce is finally doing what it should have been doing for the past several decades: protecting the hard earned tax dollars that honest Americans entrusted to the political class, a trust that was obviously abused and ignored until now.

3)Let’s go out to Oregon for the fraud shenanigans that foreign nationals have been using to steal taxpayer wealth:

Two men in Oregon have been charged for allegedly stealing over $17 million from Medicare, veterans' programs and private insurers.
One of the alleged perps was a citizen of Pakistan and the other was reportedly an Iranian.
The money was stolen under the cover of billing Medicare for genetic testing but the tests were never done, just billed.
U.S. Attorney Bradford summed up this disgusting behavior: “Health care fraud inflates costs, restricts access to critical services, and siphons taxpayer dollars from senior citizens, people with disabilities, low-income families, veterans, and others who rely on these federal programs.”

In all our conversations about defrauding the American taxpayer, a large number of the fraudsters are like these two in Oregon: foreign citizens that are here either legally or illegally. Another reason why Biden’s immigration policies were a disaster, white collar immigrants criminals figured out how to defraud government programs quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

4)But the fraud, as we have discussed, is a transcontinental program as we move from the west coast and Oregon to the east coast and Maine:

Speaking recently in the state of Maine,Vance proclaims that Maine is a top ten state from a fraud perspective.
As an example, he discussed the case of illegal immigrant Rakiya Mohamed.
She defrauded Medicaid of $15 million over five years by claiming to use translation services.
$15 million over 5 years comes out to $3 million a year to about $58,000 a WEEK on average for translation services.
And despite this ridiculous billing rate, she got away with it for five years.

Fraud is everywhere and previous Presidential administrations let it flourish without minimal downsize risk.

5)The Vance anti-fraud effort recently returned to California, probably the worst state for the defrauding of government programs:

Due to the widespread fraud in the state, the Federal government has blocked $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements until the governor and the state government clean up the Medicaid mess in the state.
Vance said the reasons for the stopping of fraud were pretty simple: “We’re announcing that the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California,.And the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously.”
MehMet Oz, the head of the Medicare and Medicaid effort at the Federal government added: “We believe that at least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent. Today, we announce 800 of those hospices have been suspended. 800 hospices that last year charged the federal taxpayer $1.4 billion will no longer be paid.”
90% of those suspended hospices have not appealed their suspension, indicating that they were likely fronts for fraud and were not providing legit Medicare aid and support.

Hundreds and hundreds of bogus Medicare entities that have been stealing taxpayer money for years and nobody in the state of California did nothing to stop it. Disgusting lack of respect for taxpayers' wealth.

Enough fraud talk for today, so depressing that our dollars were allowed to be wasted from coast to coast. No wonder our taxes are high and the national debt is about $40,000,000,000,000.
