As Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald discussed yesterday, the fraud in Minnesota is shocking. Fraudsters treated state-run programs designed to help vulnerable Americans as their personal piggy bank. Under @POTUS and @VP’s whole-of-government approach to combating fraud, @TheJusticeDept, alongside @WHFraudTF, will not rest until every fraudster understands that the cost of stealing from the American people is far greater than any scheme is worth.

WATCH: Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald joined @IngrahamAngle last night to discuss the Minnesota Health Care Fraud Takedown yesterday. “There was nothing left to go to the vulnerable patients, the needy families, the homeless, in some instances, who had a program to help them find housing. The fraudsters took the vast bulk of the money belonging to these programs.”

With the support of @POTUS, @VP, Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche, @AFergusonFTC, the @WHFraudTF, @SecKennedy, @DrOzCMS, and the entire fraud-fighting apparatus, @TheJusticeDept will continue expanding its reach across the country to pursue ALL fraud.

“The Fraud Division is committed to supercharging the Health Care Fraud Strike Force program with the resources it needs to tackle the pervasive fraud in the health care industry and protect the vulnerable beneficiaries of these programs, including children and those suffering from chronic ailments.” - Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald

Today, in Minnesota, the Justice Department charged 15 defendants in a major fraud crackdown involving over $90 million in losses — including the largest Medicaid fraud cases in the history of the district. These criminals allegedly stole from our country's most vulnerable: children with autism, the disabled, and the homeless. In one case, services were allegedly billed but never provided, leading to the death of the supposed recipient. This will not be tolerated. Minnesota will no longer serve as a safe haven for fraud, nor will any state in this country. This @DOJFraudDiv under Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald and in partnership with @VP's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, will hunt down fraudsters wherever they are and systematically dismantle their predatory schemes.

Today, Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald announced criminal charges against 15 defendants in Minnesota for fraud schemes that targeted OVER $90 MILLION in taxpayer dollars. This is just the beginning of our work in Minnesota⬇️

Three Members of International Criminal Organization Sentenced to Lengthy Sentences in $2 Billion Telemedicine Healthcare Fraud Scheme “This Moscow-based criminal organization provided anything but health care,” said Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division Colin M. McDonald. “Through aliases, encrypted communications, shell companies, and straw owners, these defendants siphoned nearly $2 billion from private insurers that provide services to American patients.

The Justice Department will continue to aggressively identify, target, and prosecute those who defraud America’s health care system.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/three-m…
