A charity worker who allegedly took massive bribes in exchange for pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of a corrupt homeless service bigwig was busted by the feds in a sweeping operation that targeted infamous homeless services fraud in that’s crippling Los Angeles.
FBI agents in a dramatic raid swarmed the South Los Angeles home of Lakiya Malone just before dawn, taking to bullhorns and yelling for her to “come out!”
As the SSG worker emerged, she was placed in handcuffs by men in Kevlar vests, while others trained rifles on her house.
FBI agents collared Malone, 48, more than seven months after the federal government charged charity leader Alexander Soofer, 42, with stealing $23 million in public funds meant for the needy.
And while agents stuffed her into a silver sedan, other FBI men were hot on the trail of two other suspects caught up in a sweeping operation meant to root out fraud at the Los Angeles Homless Services Authority.
One was caught at his home just blocks away.
As Malone was being arrested at her residence, another crew of FBI agents surrounded the house occupied by Michael Young, a nonprofit founder who exec allegedly who blew $12 million in taxpayer cash meant for the homeless on lavish toys including a bingo hall and a nightclub.

She is charged in a 21-count federal indictment that accuses her of taking more than $180,000 in bribes and kickbacks from Soofer, the executive director of the homeless services nonprofit Abundant Blessings, who is separately charged in a massive fraud scheme and has agreed to plead guilty.

How much of that money ended up in democrat accounts or gov Newscums pockets
Indeed, a very, very full figure.
Well it be a downgrade
You can bet some of the money ended up in upper echelon dem pockets.
A lot of these scammers seem to have Irish last names. Somali too.
Noticing how all these grifters stealing funds from federal programs are all black must be racist...right, Yogi?

More likely Karen Bass, the incompetent Mayor.
One wonders how much in kickbacks did bass get
Somewhere along the way there has to be Kalifornia gov’t employees involved, directly or via bribes and greasing the skids.
Now apply this same mess to Blue Cities all across the country. It’s happening, I’m quite sure.
Put me down too. I want a beachfront house on some Pacific Island.
It’s about time. We’ve known the entire homeless agency network in California has been a scam from day one. The reason no homeless problem has been solved is because it is in the fraudsters’ best interest to keep it growing.
The more homeless on the street, the more state and federal dollars they receive. The more they receive, the more they can kickback to the people responsible for approving their funding.
Here is the press release.
Oh no you di’ent!
