MN fraud

Covid fraud has recently come to the attention of Minnesota authorities but these types of activities had their start back in 2014 with childcare schemes to steal state funds. Childcare businesses were set up and then sent in names of children who did not receive care but the money was stolen and much of it sent overseas. The fraud was so wide spread that some people were investing in childcare facilities to get a share of the profits. Suit cases filled with cash were sent to foreign countries. This is legal as long as form FinCEN 105 is filled out. The government has these records and reports are that millions of dollars are involved. In MN fiscal year 2024 the state spent $289 million on childcare and much of this is now found to be fraudulent. Recent developments indicate that similar activities have occurred in the Covid cases of food and autism programs.
