“It’s just that easy. Are these programs designed to be easy to defraud?”
Yes. I remember IBM offered free software to detect fraud in I believe Medicare. It was turned down.
What was that figure on the Covid reimbursement fraud schemes?
And headlines about a Detroit man who stayed on 19 welfare account names for years before being caught.

July 11, 2023 — DETROIT – A Detroit resident pleaded guilty today to engaging in an extensive unemployment fraud conspiracy with a former State of Michigan ....
But this guy’s measly fraud of $319,210 seems like pocket change:
She did, indeed.
Lourdes Navarro and Imran Shams?
Yet more imported foreign nationals committing fraud?
I do not think she made 359 million.
Government lost 359 millions, she made part of that money.

Charlene mccray deblasio, former NY mayor deblasios wife got her beat, Her mentla health initiative, 880 million GONE and she doesn’t know where it went and no one was interested in finding out

She had help, from last year...

And note this bit...
“...Furthermore, the DOJ says that Shams fraudulently concealed his role at Matias and his prior criminal convictions. Shams had been excluded from all participation in Medicare since being convicted in 2000 for felony grand theft related to Medicare and Medi-Cal billing fraud....”
Deep State didn’t look too hard, did it.
Was this fraud...
...or money laundering...
