Feds execute search warrants connected to ‘massive scheme to defraud’ a Minnesota housing program
AlphaNews ^ | 7/16/25 | Dr. JC Chaix and Liz Collin

Alpha News was on location as a search warrant was being served at several locations related to a “massive scheme to defraud” Medicaid and Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program.

According to the search warrant, the fraud investigation involves HSS providers who billed for various services intended to provide stable housing for Minnesotans.

The search warrant states, “The Program has proved to be extremely vulnerable to fraud.”

The vulnerability stems from limited requirements for service providers and the vast services they can provide for Medicaid reimbursement.

“Since Minnesota became the first state to offer Medicaid coverage for Housing Stabilization Services, dozens of new companies have been created and enrolled in the program. These companies, and the individuals who run them, have taken advantage of the housing crisis and the drug addiction crisis in Minnesota to prey on individuals who need help getting back on their feet as they recover from drug addiction,” the warrant says.

“These companies and individuals do so by contacting Medicaid-eligible people in halfway houses and residential drug treatment facilities and offering to help them find stable housing. After registering these people to receive housing stabilization services, the companies fraudulently claim to provide dozens of Program service hours to their new ‘clients.’ In reality, client after client has reported that they received little or no actual services or assistance from these companies. But the companies engaged in this scheme have received millions of dollars in Medicaid funds for housing stabilization services they did not actually provide,” it continues.

Similar, I suspect, to the Feed Our Hungry fraud program in which multiple defendants were recently sentenced to prison. I wonder if they will find "cross over" defendant families that were involved in both schemes?

Records indicate that Brilliant Minds Services is owned by Khalid Dayib and Mustafa Ali. Before April 2025, it was owned by Dayib, Ali, and a third partner, Moktar Hassan Aden.

Somalis again, working their diverse-magic with cynical leftists, and your tax money.

I’ll put a few bucks in a needy person’s hand, but the middle man gets nothing from me.

They should investigate the politicians and lobbyists who designed the program. Looks like it was purposely created to facilitate fraud.

A recent report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reveals that Chinese buyers purchased 11,700 homes in the US between April 2024 and March 2025. This is nearly double the number from the previous year.
Here are some key takeaways from the report:
Chinese buyers are the leading foreign investors in US residential real estate in terms of both dollar value and the number of purchases.
They spent $13.7 billion on homes, an 83% increase from the prior year.

“in a needy person’s hand”

In all states, virtually no Medicaid money goes to the poor.
It goes to Insurance companies, to Hospitals and other Providers.... and to IT companies.

Among the IT companies, some are much worse at Waste, Fraud, Abuse than others.

Let us make two guesses about the culture and background of those democrat party liners and refugees of those accused.

It does seem like Minnesota makes it easy for the fraudsters. First they had the daycare fraud, then the “feed the children” fraud, and now the assisted housing fraud. Once can be considered an oversight error where protocols need to be tightened, but by the third time you begin the think it is deliberate.

But hey, Illinois’ budget plan which was released this month provides for something like $500,000 for Liberty College, a university that closed three years ago.

For politicians and the politically-connected, their attitude is “the money is there so why not steal it”?

Good to see that Medicaid fraudsters are being investigated.

Next come the indictments.

Then the trials.

Then the prison.

And maybe finally there will be light at the end of the tunnel regarding the slow grind to totally eliminate Medicaid fraud.

If democrats were still dominant in DC, there would be no federal investigations into such fraud, only demands for their cut of the looted money. Truth!!
