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.

Govt grants to NGO’s and non-profits needs to come to an end. It’s a scam and they’re robbing the taxpayers blind. State Govt’s all over the US have proven they can’t be trusted to oversee and safeguard billions of dollars being stolen right out from under their noses.
