Somalis and dots sure do commit a lot of fraud.
Sure do.
It’s the only thing they know about , Stealing
“Hong Peng?” Why do foreigners have so much access to taxpayer dollars? Don’t we have a few honest Americans who can do those jobs?
An extradition warrant has been issued for Sampath, whose company has current government contracts throughout California and across the country.
An extradition warrant has been issued for Hong’s partner in crime, Gautham Sampath.
Sampath’s company has current “govt contracts” throughout Cali....... and across the country.
Hire foreigners........ and get thieves.
There are many states that surpass MN in fraud of government money, both because they are more corrupt and they are larger.
IL comes to mind.
Furthermore, size of fraud can be measured by factors other than STATE. For example, HHS has the most money and the most fraud. DELOITTE in the SWAMP is one of the biggest FRAUDSTERS in 25 states... mostly the big states ME VT RI MA NY PA NJ VA FL GA TN KY IN MI IL AR LA TX NM CO WY MT ND OR CA... NOT MN.
DELOITTE IES Integrated Eligibility System enrolls the poor in Medicaid, CHPS, SNAP/EBT, WIC, TANF, Sec8, LIHEAP, etc.
Deloitte IES has the DEAD as ACTIVE.
Deloitte IES has DUPlicates. Eg Sue Smith, Susan Smith, Susan Jones-Smith have the same DOB, SSN, address and are the same person. But Deloitte IES gives them 3 distinct ID and 3 benefit plans.
KFF Kaiser Family Foundation and others have documented Deloitte FRAUD in other NON-IES programs.
It would be hard to name anyone who commits more FRAUD in CA, or my GA, or any of the 25 Deloiitte IES states.
Or as the call themselves technical project managers and those that hire them are called Suckers.
Verify: Make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or justified.
Gautham Sampath.....Hong “Grace” Peng
Diversity seems to be wavering “heavily” as being our strength. Spit!
Money for nothing. Steal here. Live like a king in your non-extraditable homeland.
