What is the Minnesota social aid fraud scandal about?

Watch this for an answer to the question in the heading.

#4 Oh, look: BJ boi is here with his 2 ~~inches~~ cents.

Could you imagine if Harris/Walz had won?

What a disaster that would have been for America.

Trump's win gets framed as some sweeping mandate, but that's nonsense. We're talking about a margin of only a few million votes separating the country from putting that train wreck in the White House.

Think about it. Nearly half of the voters were prepared to elevate Walz to second in line to the presidency.

This election wasn't a triumph.

It was a dodge.

#6 How cute: BJ boi doesn't think we're in an economic disaster now.

Bathhouse Bill voted for 15% unemployment.

@#3 ... It's about desperately trying to make a story out of nothing. ...

I wouldn't go as far as to say, "out of nothing" because there does seem to be something there.

What interests me is the apparent sudden and targeted PR blitz about this fraud investigation.

An investigation that has been ongoing since before 2022, and has already had convictions and sentences issued.

What interests me is the apparent sudden and targeted PR blitz about this fraud investigation.

It's all they got with which to smear Tim Walz.

@#11

From that link ...

... Right wing provocateur Nick Shirley has published a video claiming he has proof of fraud in Somali daycare centers. I watched the video so you don't have to. The entire video is, in a word, propaganda. Despite this complete lack of substantiation, Vice President JD Vance praised Shirley and suggested he deserves a Pulitzer Prize. MAGA media has since moved immediately to demonize the Somali community in Minnesota as a whole"facts be damned.

That framing is not just reckless"it is intentionally racist. And it obscures the real issue entirely. Here are the critical facts they leave out, and hope Americans don't see. Let's Address This. ....

A Propagandized Claim With Zero Evidence

Shirley begins his interview with a man named "David," who apparently investigated this alleged fraud for years. Shirley provides no explanation of who David is, what qualifications he has, or what actual evidence of fraud he's uncovered. Instead, while waving around documents that he never bothers to validate, David makes the following bombastic and factless claims:

- - - "Compared to worldwide, the fraud is worse here in the Twin Cities than anywhere else ever, in history, anywhere."

- - - "The allegedly stolen funds are being sent to terrorist organizations."

- - - "We have to be careful because these [Somali] people are very violent, they're exceptionally violent."

- - - "Tim Walz is guilty of misconduct with a public employee."

Note"the above are actual quotes from David. At no point in the video does David or Shirley provide any actual evidence for the above claims.

Redial,

"all they got"

Walz's state, while he was Governor, has been funneling tax dollars to what may be fraud in the multi-billions. Who has been getting this money? Who is the US funding?

That's all.

If Walz didn't have knowledge of this, I wonder which makes him look the worst.

He had knowledge and turned a blind eye or he was an incompetent governor.

Take your pick.

Bathhouse Bill, your child-raping idol pissed away $40 billion propping up the psycho from Argentina.

@#14

My guess is that he knew of it because the fraud was being investigated by the DoJ since before 2022.

I doubt if he turned a blind eye to it, as it was a Federal investigation, under the auspices of AG Merrick Garland.

Do you have any evidence that he tried to block that Federal investigation?

Or are your comments like the video you liked to ... apparently full of lots of unsubstantiated pasture pastries?

" or he was an incompetent governor."

You're a moron if you think any governor also serves as the comptroller.

How about blaming the fraudsters?

Rein,

All you've offered here is whataboutism and insults.

You gave me nothing to respond to.

Bathhouse Bill, it's a given that you support the decomposing-------------------'s 15% unemployment rate.

Dan,

"You're a moron if you think any governor also serves as the comptroller."

That's a straw man.

Governors don't act as comptrollers. They oversee them.

By your logic, no one could manage healthcare without being a doctor.

" You gave me nothing to respond to."

You need to read more carefully.

His point was you're (rightfully) upset at this one-quarter of a billion dollar crime.

Meanwhile, you're silent while Trump blows $40 billion of our tax money so Scott Bessent and his buddies can get their Argentine investments made whole.

160 times the grift.

Enough to respond to?

"Governors don't act as comptrollers. They oversee them."

And if the comptroller doesn't do their job properly, do you somehow believe it's the governors responsibility to find out if every single person is telling them the truth or not?

If Walz knew, and did nothing, the blame is on him. But there's ZERO evidence that happened.

Rein,

So you are saying you supported the Harris Walz ticket?

It was that or Trump.

Not everyone who voted for Trump likes everything about him. I don't.

But Harris and Walz both came across as over their head.

"But Harris and Walz both came across as over their head."

You've said this many times.
You've never told us:
How did Trump come across?

It's no surprise that Bathhouse Bill is a fan of 15% unemployment and----------.

"That's a straw man."

Nonsense. Governor and Comptroller are two different jobs. Just like the Doctor probably isn't doing the billing.

If the biller in the doctor's office is committing embezzlement, is that the doctor's fault?

Trump is over his head. He's a ------- Moron.

So are you if you think he's remotely Competent.

Trump has damaged this country more than any single person in living memory.

Over his head is an understatement.

He has single handedly changed a flawed republic into an Authoritarian Satrapy.

If Walz knew, and did nothing, the blame is on him. But there's ZERO evidence that happened.

Wink wink nudge nudge say no more...

In the US it's easier to steal than be proven guilty. That where the US is, it's one big rent seeking grift, then expect a 10 year investigation only to be thrown out by the judge, or pardoned by the President.

This won't turn out well.

Dan,

"If Walz knew, and did nothing, the blame is on him. But there's ZERO evidence that happened."

Given that Walz is a liberal, I doubt his motto is "the buck stops here" as used by Truman who was an old school Democrat and still believed in personal accountability.

It's in the nature of liberals today to blame their problems on someone else.

Trump has damaged this country more than any single person in living memory.

Idk I have a feeling the distributed fraud occuring across the nation will be it's undoing.

Blame that on Trump if it makes you feel better, but that's not the reality.

@#29 ... It's in the nature of liberals today to blame their problems on someone else. ...

Pres Trump's modus operandi is to blame others for the problems he has and causes.

Imagine how much of the US debt is fraud.

Now imagine being a 20yo looking at the federal debt.

The kids are just going to checkout once they see the $1.8trillion in debt servicing they need to pay.

But yeah Billionaires are going to cover it

Lol good luck with that.

Well he was a Democrat, maybe he learned it from them?

You can run around playing the partisan game and gotchas.

But this is the moment you should take a serious look at how the taxpayers are looking at this. Large amounts of Fraud and grift is being uncovered in every state.

They are questioning the viability of their governments ability to spend their hard earned tax dollars. It's not going to help the citizens.

Bumper sticker slogans, fundraiser emails and tweets, aren't going to get the US out of this. They want some scalps.

Large amounts of Fraud and grift is being uncovered in every state.

Enough about Trump U, MAGAt.

Danforth,

Walz knows as much as Rick Scott about the fraud going on in their organizations.

You can play you "he knows nothing" game.

Florida was stupid enough to elect a senator that was the CEO of a company that swindled $10billion from the US government.

He claims he had no idea, no one proved he did.

Do you believe him?

Kamala want childcare to go nationwide, you think she had no idea fraud was taking place and how to make it beneficial to Democrat politicians?

Wink wink nudge nudge...

" Large amounts of Fraud and grift is being uncovered in every state."

Define "large" and "every".

Small amounts of fraud can be found in every system, in every state.

Large fraud? Let's see your definition that fits for "every" state.

MN resident here. This is the same story that has been reported on for weeks. I presented a timeline of events. Suspected fraud was reported in 2021. The state stopped paying some of the entities making claims. A judge (appointed by former (R) Governor Tim Pawlenty) ruled there wasn't enough evidence of fraud yet and to resume payments. The FBI was brought in late 2021 and people were arrested and charges were filed in early 2022.

The organizer of this fraud scheme was Aimee Bock (a white woman) who recruited the Somalians to participate. Aimee Bock (the white woman) was one of the first to be tried (and convicted) in March of this year. Did I mention she is white? I just want to make sure everyone gets the story straight, the organizer of this fraud scheme was a white woman named Aimee Bock, as this is the 4th time I have corrected this story on this site.

So please free free to copy and paste the above when the next foolish person starts yet another post of this event.

" Walz knows as much as Rick Scott about the fraud going on in their organizations."

You're literally conflating a governor with a CFO. The fraud victim, with the fraud architect.

Are you trying to look stupid?

#37 Aimee Bock, the white woman who organized this fraud scheme, was not an employee of the state of MN, so how would Gov Walz know what she was up to? She had a charitable organization that she used to commit the fraud. She originally had a partner, but they split. The old partner was the person who originally reported the suspected fraud. Geez, you really need to work on your critical thinking skills, or at least learn how to use Google.

BTW, All the info in the above paragraph was in the timeline I posted when this story first landed here, which is available on line if you use "MN fraud timeline" in your search engine.

NOW YOU KNOW

Chan,

Seeing this unfold firsthand, could you share more info?

I have yet to read who ultimately was the recipient(s) of these billions.

Sure, billions are squandered by the government but this is actual fraud.

Where did it go?

Will the truth ever come out?
