DOJ Finds $29M More in Minnesota Benefits FRAUD

The Justice Department says it found roughly $29.1 million in Minnesota benefits fraud in one month, part of nearly $83 million in intended losses. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter called the state "the epicenter for fraud in America," per ZeroHedge. Feisal Elmi is accused of eleven health care fraud counts in an $8.2 million Medicaid scheme. If a fella kept coming into my feed store with a new name and an invoice for feed nobody ever hauled off, I'd have caught on before the second Tuesday. A day late and a dollar short, but I'll take it. Treasury also renewed an order making banks and money transmitters in Ramsey and Hennepin counties report transfers of $3,000 or more overseas. Stopping it would take common sense, and they're fresh out.
