Thank you very much and God bless you.

Franzese, a mob criminal who paid his debts to society, sees through the organized crime model of the Minnesota Somali crime syndicate. Good watch.

A lot of people who look at the Minnesota welfare scam might chalk it up to:

1 Good intentions gone bad.
2 Incompetence
3 A relatively few bad actors

Franzese sees it through eyes that can tell what it really is...

The repetition problem is not with Franzese. It lies with the jerk who thinks he knows how to post on Free Republic....

I've only been here twenty-five years. In my defense, I need to get my ten year old grandson to change channels on my TV nowadays.

We shoulda left them in Africa
Knocked out their boats from the seas

Fake ballots , fake votes
Stealing our elections
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Got your money for nothin’, get your Government checks for free
Listen here
Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
You play the grifter, you charge that fee

That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it

Money for nothin’, government checks for free
Got your money for nothin’ and thier Government checks for free
Ooh, money for nothin’, checks for free

No one is chatting about the Minnesota Somali crime syndicate. Odd.

“Minnesota Somali crime syndicate” refers to two distinct issues that have affected the Somali community in Minnesota over the years: street gangs and large-scale fraud schemes.

1. Large-Scale Fraud Schemes
The most prominent recent issue is a series of massive, Somali multi-million dollar fraud schemes, primarily involving Somalis stealing federal pandemic aid intended for child nutrition, housing assistance, and autism therapy programs.

Federal authorities have charged nearly 90 Somali individuals in connection with these cases, with prosecutors estimating a total loss of up to $1 billion or more across various programs.

The primary scheme, known as the “Feeding Our Future” scandal, involved thieving Somalis creating shell companies and submitting falsified invoices and receipts for meals that were never provided to children.

Most of the defendants in the fraud cases have been identified by the U.S. Attorney’s office as members of the Somali community. The Somali population in Minnesota is the largest in the US.

The Somali theft cases have become a focal point of intense political debate, to criticize Minnesota’s Democratic leadership and immigration policies. Federal authorities, including the FBI and Treasury Department, have intensified investigations, which some sources have linked to thieving Somalis here financing terrorism.........in Somalia.

2. Street Gangs
For many years, law enforcement in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area has also dealt with the presence of street gangs composed of young Somali men. These gangs, which have included names like the “Somali Hot Boyz” and the “Somali Mafia,” have been linked to violence, drug activity, and sex trafficking of young girls.

Police and community members have faced challenges in addressing the issue due to a deep-rooted distrust of authority, fear of reprisal, and a lack of witnesses coming forward in murder investigations. Some Somali men from the community have also been recruited by terrorist organizations like Al-Shabaab in Somalia and ISIS.

The term “syndicate” implies a single, highly organized, and hierarchical crime organization. The common thread is that individuals charged in these different types of crimes are of Somali descent in Minnesota.
