In GA, the AG Chris Carr is worthless. Brad Rafensberger handles some provider licenses but is not central to financial fraud.
Missing is anyone from GA Dept of Human Services which is the place for origin of financial fraud and
GA Dept of Community Health for the consequences of financial fraud. Why???
Right before an important election? Why, that’s unheard of.
some of the fraud:
Northern District of Alabama led by U.S. Attorney Phillip Williams, United States vs. Michael Shine. Michael Shine is a tax preparer based in the Birmingham area who owns and operates Shine’s Professional Services. He has filed and caused to be filed literally thousands of tax returns falsely claiming energy tax credits that were baseless and fraudulent, causing almost $70 million in loss as charged in a complaint.
Middle District of Alabama led by U.S. Attorney Thomas Govan, United States v Kevin Padgett et al. Kevin Padgett and co-defendants were charged in a mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy in connection with their scheme to sell approximately $7 million counterfeit U.S. Postage Stamps.
Northern District of Georgia led by U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg, United States v. Ian Patrick Jackson. Defendant Ian Patrick Jackson pled guilty for running a fraud and money laundering scheme that stole more than $3 million in CARES Act funds administered by the SBA in the form of PPP and EIDL loans. Jackson has twice been convicted of previous fraud felonies, recruited at least nine business owners into his scheme to submit fraudulent applications.
This is my favorite, 20M in fraudulent EBT transactions in a single little convenience store:
Southern District of Florida led by U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones, United States vs. Rajaie Ali et al. Defendants Rajaie Ahmad Ali, Sami Jamhour, Cristian Amaro, and Adel Amro concocted a scheme to use willing food stamp recipients to sell their EBT stamp benefits at a discounted rate for cash. The scheme, launched in 2019, caused nearly $20 million in fraudulent EBT transactions at a Kwik Stop convenience store in Miami. Two of the indicted co-conspirators are foreign nationals. Defendant Ali is even subject to a final order of removal from the United States.
