Gov. Tim Walz struggles to defend reports of welfare fraud under his watch that allegedly benefited a Somali terror group
 

A judge in Minnesota is facing heat after she overturned a guilty verdict for two people convicted in a $7.2 million fraud scheme that involved taxpayer money.

Abdifatah Yusuf and his wife Lul Ahmed were charged in June 2024 after they were accused of stealing $7.2 million from the state's Medicaid program while running a home healthcare business that lacked an office building and operated for "years out of a mailbox," according to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office.
 
Prosecutors said Yusuf received Medicaid money for services that weren't provided and overbilled for services that didn't have documentation. Yusuf allegedly used the money to fund a "lavish lifestyle" that included shopping sprees at "luxury clothing stores including Coach, Canada Goose, Michael Kors, Third Degree Heat, Nike, and Nordstrom."

Yusuf directed over $1 million from the business account to his personal account and also withdrew over $387,000 in cash, the attorney general's office said.

This can't be the same home state of democrat VP candidate Tim Walz, can it?  He's much too honest to allow this to go on.

Feds need to end Medicaid.  It's a liberal Dem money laundering racket.

End the fraud.

Medicaid actually helps a lot of people who can't afford six figure medical bills (not that it pays the full amount, which is why the bill is high enough the percentage it does pay is the more 'reasonable' tab for the services provided).

Hospitals here actually bill differently if you are 'self pay' (and don't look for the billable whistles and bells the Medicaid folks and insured are more likely to get).

The judge was obviously bought and paid for by the Somalis.

She probably didn’t make any money out of it.  She’s just a typical white female middle-class progressive who believes wholeheartedly that all whites are inherently racist and took it upon herself to “fight the power” by dismissing the charges. 


In other words, just a useful tool.

Since I started this long medical journey with my wife, I got her qualified for MediCal, our ‘share’ has gone up to about $800 a month, that isn’t counting her Medicare monthly payment. That increase, along with all the other increases I’m looking at, is the straw that will break the camels back. It’s looking like I will have to see if my BIL will rent me a room, it is a totally distasteful proposition, he live like a pig, the house is filthy and filled with crap. My wife refused to go there anymore because of what he did to their mothers house.

Sorry, every time I think about it I just get angry.

So she's "under fire."  BFD...there will be no substantial ramifications, she is free to keep on doing it.

The Minnesota Attorney General's Office, led by Democrat Keith Ellison, has filed an appeal of West's decision to overturn Yusuf's verdict.

Pigs, pigs flying out my window...

Guessing though Eillison's appealing this because he wants to keep it at the State level and not have the Feds get involved.

If a Dem is in charge this shit will keep happening, with the aid of white liberal useful idols.
