22 Charged in Arizona Medicaid Fraud Scheme Allegedly Funneling Millions of Dollars to African Migrant Church in Phoenix and to Rwanda

Twenty-two defendants were indicted this week in Phoenix, Arizona, on felony charges, including money laundering, theft, conspiracy, fraud, and forgery, in a $60 million scheme that allegedly diverted medicaid funds meant for sober living programs to a church for East African migrants.

The 51-count indictment announced by the state’s Democratic Attorney General on Tuesday alleges that Happy House Behavioral Health billed the state over $60 million “for services not rendered and/or partially rendered, including but not limited to, billing for deceased clients, billing for incarcerated clients, billing for hospitalized clients, billing under incorrect billing codes, and billing excessively.”

Additionally, Happy Health is accused of paying over $5 million to Hope of Life International Church, which later wired over $2 million to “an entity in Rwanda.”

It appears that all of the defendants are African migrants or refugees.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm sure they didn't know it was illegal so why doesn't the judge dismiss the charges by reason of ignorance of the law like the New Mexico judge who dismissed the charges against 98 legals because they didn't know the law?  And the AG wasn't aware of this precedent? :whistle:
