Maine suspends Medicaid payments to Somali charity after audits uncover more than $1M in fraud

[Hol]

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has suspended Medicaid payments to a Somali-run charity after possible fraud was discovered during several audits of the charity’s finances.

The DHHS found that the Gateway Community Services overbilled by more than $1 million from March 2021 through December 2022 for what was supposed to be “interpreting services” to Somali migrants, according to Breitbart.

Just the News reported on other allegations of fraud regarding Gateway Community Services that have recently come to light following the charges of at least a $1 billion fraud ring involving Somali immigrants in Minneapolis.

Red flags were raised by Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who warned the U.S. Treasury of welfare fraud being committed by Gateway.

It would seem that the one thing many Somali charities have in common is massive fraud.

I am sick of all the fraud, it's out of control. DOGE needs to step in and do more in this area ASAP.

Those 87,000 IRS agents . . . COMMENCE THE AUDITS!!!


MAX PENALTIES AND INTEREST, ASSET FORFEITURE, AND REVOCATION OF NON-PROFIT STATUS

Then, start in on the criminal prosecution

Those 87,000 IRS agents . . .

87000 were never hired

87000 were never hired

I thought they had been. What happened?

I thought they had been. What happened?

I don't know. I believe that a much smaller number were hired. Any excess monies probably got laundered back to NGOs and then to libertards.

Well, whoever the IRS has needs to commence the AUDITS ASAP.

Scuttlebutt here that Somali fraud in Minnesota is far larger than has been reported in the media so far. Once I have a good, reliable, source that can be quoted, I'll post.

It seems that fraud is rampant with most all the govmint programs. The Somali fraud is a small piece of the bigger picture of fraudulent activity.

All those Somali NGOs, non-profits, organizations, PACs, etc. need to be audited.
As well as Afghan, Syrian, etc. ones.
And all of the refugee, immigrant, and migrant "assistance" and "settlement" organizations. They absolutely need to be prohibited from buying housing (for all sorts of reasons).

As they unravel the tapestry of fraud, both government and non-government fraud, corruption, abuse, etc. will come to light.
It's easier to start with the audits of the organizations than to go from the government side, the coverups fall more readily, and the bribes, kickbacks, and corruption are easier to ferret out. Like rats scurrying off a sinking ship.

 

[Tall Timbers]

All those Somali NGOs and non-profits need to be audited.

Yes, and across the country much auditing and prosecutions need to occur to help end rampant fraud.

Vance Praises YouTuber Nick Shirley’s Report on Somali Fraud in Minnesota: ‘Far More Useful Journalism’ than 2024 Pulitzer Prize Winners​

Vice President JD Vance praised YouTuber Nick Shirley’s reporting on fraud in the state of Minnesota, stating that Shirley had “done far more useful journalism” than any of the 2024 winners of Pulitzer Prizes.

“This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes,” Vance wrote in a post on X.

Vance’s post came in response to a video posted on X, in which he and his team exposed “Minnesota fraud.” Shirley explained that he and his team “uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day.”

“Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet,” Shirley wrote. “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable.”

The Pulitzer Prize has been so devalued over the past couple of decades that it no longer indicates anything of journalistic significance. For example, it was awarded for "investigative" Russiagate stories that we now know were completely false. There was no actual journalistic investigation involved, yet the prize was awarded. Worse, when the truth was finally revealed, the prizes were not withdrawn. A Pulitzer Prize, once a true hallmark of journalistic excellence now means absolutely nothing.

Maybe (hopefully) that can change.
