Right on.
Sounds like what Sunny Hostin’s hubby was involved in.
They have to stop Rubber Stamping every document they see ,LOL
Amazing that we provide literally trillions with apparently no accounting strings attached. How can this be...
If the state attorney general isn’t ferreting out government fraud, then they aren’t doing their job.
These stories keep coming and coming. Here’s the way it evidently works.
Scammer: I just provided $5 million worth of services.
Government: Okey-dokey. Here’s your check.
No oversight or verification of any kind.
At least people are being arrested now. But it will certainly be back to business as usual once a D again occupies the White House.
I bet our entire national debt since 2008 (what happened that year?) is due to fraud and corruption.
The only wat to insure accountability is for the fraud to be paid back to taxpayers from the government employee pension fund. It would stop immediately.
Certainly a large percentage of it.
No oversight if you’re one of the favored.
And you become favored by voting Democrat.
Ya, seems to be the pattern lately.
Latham Taxi is owned by Muhammad Zishan, 48, of Albany County; Madiha Javed, 34, of Rensselaer County; and Ghazali Shaikh, 20, of Warren County.
The headline implies that the taxi company stole $6.5 billion. In reality if was 455 enitities across the country being alledged to have copped the $6.5 billion.
Regarding well established big city taxi companies, I heard that they are owned and controlled by the Chicago mafia. The mafia would never stoop to scamming the US Government, would they? /s
Yep, big surprise here
agreed, poor headline
A TRIO OF NICE IRISH BOYS, I SEE.
Medicare thieves Muhammad Zishan, 48, Madiha Javed, 34,
and Ghazali Shaikh, 20, sound like they’re Iranian Muslims.
