Maine nonprofit with Somali ties reportedly sees state funding shut off after fraud claims

A Maine health services company recently accused by a whistleblower of bilking taxpayers out of millions in Medicaid funds saw its spigot shut off this week as the state Department of Health moved to halt payments from MaineCare.

Gateway Community Services is a Portland company run by a Somali-born man who ran for president – the U.S. equivalent of governor – of Jubaland, Somalia, for what would have been a four-year term beginning in 2024, according to his campaign website.

Ali’s campaign manifesto includes a point saying he would create "robust security infrastructure" to counter Al-Shabab, while reports out of Minnesota claim their Somali-tied funds may have ended up in the hands of the terror group.

Incumbent Ahmed Mohamed Islam Madobe won that contest, which also inspired both the Mogadishu government and semi-autonomous Jubaland government in Bu’ale to issue arrest warrants for each other’s leaders over illegitimacy claims, according to Reuters.

Ali originally came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2009, became a U.S. citizen, and started several ventures, according to the Maine Wire.

MaineCare sent Gateway a notice of violation last week, according to the Bangor Daily News, which reported that payments would be suspended while the state investigated "credible allegations of fraud."

The paper reported the state will seek more than $1 million in payments made in 2021 and 2022, with Maine Department of Health spokesperson Lindsay Hammes saying the agency will "continue to hold providers to the highest standards and ensure accountability in the use of public funds."

MaineCare paid Gateway $28.8 million between 2019 and 2024, according to records obtained by the Bangor Daily News through a public records request.

The firm also received almost $700,000 in COVID-era Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds to purportedly save 127 jobs, according to the Maine Wire.

Will be interesting to see if libtard media calls libtard Maine govt the same insults they toss at Trump.

My bet is no, they don’t care about consistency.

We have 15,000 to 20,000 Somalis in Phoenix, which is enough for them to try to assert themselves, especially if they have the help of corrupt judges & politicians. Makes my blood boil that we allowed so many of these non-assimilating, polygamous, inbred cretins into our country over the last 25 yrs. Everyone was asleep at the wheel apparently.

I’m shocked, I tell ya, shocked.....

I predicted yesterday in my substack about the “Skinny Minny Fraud Pool Will Envelop All,” this scandal will be a) national, b) all-inclusive-—not just day cares but food stamps, election fraud, Covid fraud, and c) will involve almost EVERY department of the fed government, which is why many, many, many people are going to jail.

It’s not just “DOJ has a political vendetta.” This is Ag, Ed, Commerce, Transpo, DHS, DOJ, anti-terror at the State Department.

100 have been arrested already in just Minny. This will become thousands and will net a number of very big names. Normies do not understand what James (Scrotumtoter) Comey did, or what Peter (Deep Stroke) Strzok did-—it’s confusing. But they absolutely do get this kind of fraud, and they don’t like it.

I guess that explains how wideload Katie managed to get her butt elected.

Hubby and I discussed this yesterday. We figured there’s NFW the retarded inbred Somalis concocted this fraud. A root cause analysis most likely will show “Obama”.
