A citizen journalist followed up on reports of fraud in Minnesota Somali daycare networks by visiting a learning center in Ohio, where he says he uncovered the “first signs of massive potential Somali fraud.”
Taking a cue from citizen journalist Nick Shirley – whose bombshell exposed Somali-run daycares in Minnesota suspiciously devoid of children – Muckraker reporter Anthony Rubin descended on a Columbus learning center where neighbors similarly said they’d never seen any children.
“We wanted to come out to Columbus, Ohio, and investigate what might be going on in the second largest Somali community in the United States of America,” Rubin described.
After knocking on the learning center’s door and receiving no answer, Rubin crossed the street to speak to a neighbor who said he’d never seen any children at the building, adding patrons primarily use the backdoor.
Another neighbor confirmed to Rubin he’d “never seen nobody come out of the building or go into the building,” acknowledging, “They use the back.”
Investigating behind the building, Rubin documented, “So we came to the back just like those guys suggested. And there’s nothing here.”
The Muckraker journalist said the facility was just one of several centers he planned to visit and report on in the city.
Rubin’s report comes on the heels of Shirley’s bombshell Minneapolis exposé, where he was unable to access Somali-owned businesses deemed daycares to verify whether children were present.
The citizen journalists’ efforts follow a federal investigation into a Somali network at the center of a billion-dollar fraud scheme in Minnesota, scamming programs intended to feed children, help autistic kids and aid those in need, a probe that’s netted 62 convictions with dozens more charged.

It says a lot that you seem disappointed when you DON’T find trouble. It seems to me that should please you.
1500+ years of behavior along with the Quoran shows mainstream Islam has no interest in anything other than replacing all religions, social structures, and institutions with its own, and will use whatever means necessary to do so.
Prove me wrong.
That doesn’t answer my question.
You said it was ‘unfortunate’ that your local school appeared legitimate.
Wouldn’t that seem bizarre to you if you saw it coming from someone else dealing with a different subject?
You seem to WANT to find trouble.
One of these places — the “Learing” Place has changed the sign, bussed in 20 kids, and said their hours are 2-10 p.m. These places are going to be doing damage control now. I hope investigators won’t be fooled.
I doubt that very much. Just like everything else the Democrats do, next to nothing will happen to them, it will get swept under rug, and the guilty will go unpunished--no matter how many hundreds of posts about it get posted on FR. Bank on it.
You're just looking for entertainment?
No, I've been here a long time. I can just recognize overblown postings on an issue that turn to big nothingburgers.
I've been here a long time. I've heard this too many times to get excited about it.
So who is Anthony Rubin, and why is there no real substance to the video posted?
The Dems finally got their dim-witted Mimsy as an accomplice to their theft.
How many decades have Democrats "invested" in helping households receive some sort of Fed and/or State benefit? Do you think that might play into the apathy ensuring Dems remain blame free?
doh ! Sorry. I was talking about the guy with shirelyy...I’ll sit down and shut up now.
No problem. (I admire that guy too.)
I have a feeling this one isn’t going to be a ‘nothingburger’, especially if similar is going on all over the country, as I suspect it it.
This one may have legs.
As I said, I have my doubts, but I do hope you and others on this thread are right about this and I am wrong and later can tell me "I told you so!" :)
