Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged eight people in connection with what they called a “massive” fraud scheme in Minnesota’s Medicaid-funded housing stabilization program.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said it was the first wave of cases and that his office was investigating hundreds of companies. He described fraud in the state as a widespread “crisis.”
The individuals charged with wire fraud in four separate cases are accused of stealing federally funded health care benefits from the state intended for housing. They stole a total of around $10 million, prosecutors allege. That’s nearly four times the amount the state expected to spend on the program annually when it first launched.
