Minnesota fraud suspect skips court, forfeits bond, throwing $11M Medicaid case into doubt
Abdirashid Ismail Said allegedly ran multiple Medicaid-funded agencies despite being barred after a prior fraud conviction

A man accused of orchestrating an $11 million Medicaid fraud scheme in Minnesota skipped a scheduled court appearance this week, prompting a warrant for his arrest, authorities said.

Abdirashid Ismail Said, 50, failed to appear for a pretrial hearing in Hennepin County, forfeiting his bond, according FOX 9, citing the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that his office is working with federal authorities to locate Said.

"A warrant has been issued for Said's arrest after he failed to appear for a pretrial hearing," Ellison told the outlet. "My Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is working with federal law enforcement to locate Said and ensure he faces justice for the fraud he committed.

"This is a deeply frustrating setback. However, I remain committed to doing everything I can to hold Said and other Medicaid fraudsters accountable."

He was given two choices.  Post $50k bond and surrender his passport, or post $150k bond and keep his passport.  He chose the latter.

$11 million gained in fraud.  Yet they set bail at just over 1% that amount and LET HIM KEEP HIS PASSPORT.

Guess where he and that $11 million are now?  Idiots.

This is entirely on Minnesota.  The State of Minnesota owes the federal taxpayer $11 million.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, I'm sure it cost him more than that. After all, there are palms to be greased.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
