🚨🚨 Today - 15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation with @TheJusticeDept and our Interagency Partners.

These charges involve the two LARGEST Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in this district and first-of-their kind charges involving 7 additional Medicaid programs.

As alleged, the defendants defrauded Minnesota public healthcare resources for tens of millions, targeting programs such as Housing Stabilization Services, Child Care, Medicaid programs, Individualized Home Supports (IHS), and more.

In one case, defendants even developed a scheme worth over $40 million to target the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) – an autism healthcare program - paying kickbacks to parents who fraudulently used autism centers to diagnose children with autism regardless of medical necessity, and billing for services not actually provided. This not only defrauded taxpayers, but robbed valuable resources from families truly in need.

President Trump gave this law enforcement team a mandate to investigate and systematically dismantle this exact kind of public fraud in America – which grossly abuses and mismanages money from hardworking American taxpayers - and that’s exactly what we’re doing. Today’s indictment in a massive moment in this effort.

More to come. @DAGToddBlanche @VP @FBIDDRaia @SecKennedy @DrOzCMS

In advance of knowing the names, I just hope the fraudster suspects are evenly distributed among the races, the Somali and non-Somali ones, LGBTQ+ and trans, the feminists and males. Otherwise there could be a lot of discrimination suits. /S

Is it too much to hope the plea deals will lead to Jaocb Frey and Tim Walz trying to hide their faces from the media as they come out of court after convictions, their zip tied hands behind their backs?

“an autism healthcare program - paying kickbacks to parents who fraudulently used autism centers to diagnose children with autism regardless of medical necessity, and billing for services not actually provided.”

What’s being done to these small fry? They need prosecutions and exemplary sentences to give other scoundrels a reason to say no. Referrals to ICE for deportation wherever possible?

I hope you're right, but at least this is a start. I hope they do asset seizures, too.

900 Million and you can bet the rats got a big cut. I think it’s safe to say the Medicaid Fraud is the biggest rat money laundering op in History. It is amazing, the exposing only started when 1 guy filmed the learing center.

When do the little people start talking?
When do we start rolling up the big operations?
When does RICO come into play?

Dollarwise, impressive, but 15? Seems there ought to be at least one zero after that number. But I understand that it takes time to make a case.

Just hope that little prick with his Learing Center gets justice...and I don’t mean that whoever “stole all his records” gets arrested.

Prison terms for all, I hope.

And how much of that $90 mil will be recovered? Maybe 10% of it?

Yes, that is what I want to know. When will the street-level fraudsters testify against those above them who demanded kickbacks? Especially the politicians.

And Barack Obama and Joe Biden - it was their scattering of the Somalis around the country that led to this.

"15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation....."

They all mysteriously have a "Sunkist" marking on their foreheads. They're hopefully being squeezed for every last drop.

90 million seems like pocket-change to these characters...I’m sure they are just scraping the surface of this fraud.
