I'm from the government. I'm here to help.

[Seruzawa]

Bureaucrats don’t care one whit. Not one of them will ever be punished to wasting $.

[A Navy Vet]

I’m so surprised. Just more evidence America is heading into 3rd World status.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I bought an Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2020) and a Yamaha electric guitar.

He’s one more reason why we can’t have nice things.

Government bureaucrats were caught flat-footed, and the flood of money being rushed out the door in the name of emergency meant more vulnerabilities than ever. It took many states more than six months to add verification requirements and partially stem the flow. Just to use one state as an example, Washington state usually identifies a few dozen fraudsters in a year—now, it has identified more than 122,000 since March.

Two questions/comments

1) The Nigerian must have had a US bank account or address to receive money. How did that work?

2) What grounds does anyone have to believe voting and vote-counting would be any different, especially when many steps were actively against verification steps?

Time to ID, track the Nigerians down and KILL THEM.

I'm from the government. I'm here to help. Unless you are a law abiding American.

There, I fixed it for you to keep up with the new normal.

Ironically, most of the fraud occurs through states and not Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam has tons of investigators who could investigate these frauds, but instead there is a small group of state investigators who look at things like this - not federal. They don’t usually get involved.

If people had any clue about how much fraud is perpetrated against the taxpayers in the US their heads would explode. It was one of the things I really wish Trump had made a priority in his first term. Medicaid, daycare, eldercare, Medicare, tax refunds, food stamps, section 8 housing, and the list goes on and on. We are talking hundreds of billions of dollars. It is that big.

“A Nigerian student named Mayowa spoke to USA Today and, on the condition of partial anonymity, openly admitted to scamming $50,000 from the US pandemic welfare system so far.”

If I had a few minutes with him, I would’ve had him taking a selfie with a shoe balanced on his head.

....globalist lefties are using COVID to steal tax dollars, curtail our freedoms and advance (gag) globalism.......
The Great Pretender Joe Biden.....or Joe Potato Head as he is laughingly called.....was cued by Fauci handler,
Barack Obama, to use COVID deaths and “lefty science” to further the progressive agenda......

=====================================

Obama, Fauci visit NIH lab in 2014. Obama okayed NIH giving Wuhan---
a virology Lab that is the source of Covid-19 .....over $3 Million tax dollars.

Obama’s admin okayed Fauci sending $3.7M NIH tax dollars to Wuhan Lab

The BIGGER question is how much China sent back to obamba:
<><> donations to his tax-free foundation,
<><> donations to his final resting place (presidential library) in Chicago.....
<><> hefty fee for speaking gigs
<><> and so on and so forth.

===================================

REFERENCE---The Obama Foundation held its inaugural summit on October 31, 2017, in Chicago.

According to Obama, he intends for his foundation to be central to many of his post-presidential activities, which he sees as having the potential to be more consequential than his time in the White House.

On September 25, 2018, an IRS report revealed that the Foundation no longer identified any possible mega-donors. In 2018, contributions and in-kind gifts totaled $164.8 million, according to its filed annual report in June 2019— a drop of $67.8 million from the record $232.6 million in 2017.

The President of the Obama Foundation is Adewale Adeyemo, a Nigerian Economist ----one of Obama's former senior economic advisers-----and Deputy US National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs.

Crap Indian H1B coders were involved in most states to update the code. Since the code quality is of Indian-quality, it made it extremely easy for scammers to cheat the system.

In Colorado, I remember emails from Dalit recruiters looking for programmers to work for the state UI system.

Garbage in, garbage out.

There must be money everywhere.

[joe fonebone]

How can this be stopped???

When I was young, you used to have to go to the unenjoyment office, in person, stand in line, provide proof of identity, certify, then stand in another line to get a paper check...

Very little, if any, fraud.

If you are laid off, you have nothing better to do..

Go stand in line, and watch the fraud disappear....

[mythenjoseph]

I applied for a span of 11 weeks here in Louisiana (I am self-employed) for the PUA....was denied. It took over 90 days for the state office to even come to the conclusion....so much for being a self-employed American .

[RummyChick]

I have never filed for unemployment so dont know how it works

I thought you had to have a job and then you didnt have one and they verified...and then the employer fought it , etc.

[entropy12]

The scammer from Nigeria can have one of his brothers already in USA to open a bank account. If you have flash a large amount of cash available to deposit, the bank will kiss your feet to open an account there.

The address is even simpler. Just use the brother’s address.

But some here were horrified that folks got 600 bucks sent to them.

They REALLY believe that the majority of the other 750 BILLION spent went where it was supposed to go.
