The first company on the list is Somali. It was in the news not too long ago.

Somalis in Minnesota are in for a rough ride. A smoking handgun served on a silver plate for Somali haters

I think this might be just a general thing , not really directly connected to Somalis. Because it covers a wide area and they are targeting health providers. It's part of a wider state wide campaign.


I pointed it out some time ago that that medicaid fraud is rampant and common in America, it's systemic and its businesses and providers that commit them:

That kind of corporate/institutional corruption exposed in the the Feeding Our Future (FOF) case isn’t something uniquely Somali or even from Somalia. It’s embedded in the broader U.S. welfare contracting system. That’s where the model comes from and that’s how people, including some Somalis, unfortunately get wrapped up in it.

In America most fraud is not done by welfare recipients but welfare and care providers.(Basically those who run the programs and bill the government. That includes nonprofits, shell vendors, and even large companies.)

Here is another recent case for example, mostly involves White American's

A year on, what you need to know about Brett Favre and the Mississippi welfare case

A year since the Hall of Fame QB's alleged involvement in the Mississippi welfare case became public, many questions remain. Here's what we know through court filings, text messages and other documents.

www.espn.com

Even White NFL players like Brett Favre have been implicated in these types of schemes just recently. Money intended for welfare recipients was funneled into speeches he never gave and a volleyball facility.

We of course cannot forget the the Republican senator Rick Scott who defrauded government 1.6 billion. Which is the largest single Medicare fraud in U.S history.

There is tons of examples it that it happens all the time and it's companies/orgs that receive the money from the government to provide services they don't deliver on.

It’s not just a few bad apples, it’s systemic. In 2014 alone, $25 billion was recovered in fraudulent payments to providers, not recipients.

Who Is Really Responsible for Welfare Fraud?

ivn.us

So the 225$ million does seem like a lot of money , it is, but it's actually a drop in the bucket in how much money American companies defraud the government each year.

What makes the Somali case stand out isn’t the size of the fraud , it’s the response.
There’s a politicized media frenzy, federal criminal charges, and a broad-brush narrative that implicates an entire community. They are criminally prosecuting individuals , not just civil suits against companies.

They are implicating a bunch of innocent people (many of whom had legitimate operations long before FOF existed) and are being investigated ''simply because they’re Somali or related to someone'', or because they sold goods or services to someone later charged with fraud.

In fact, some defendants have already been acquitted , they were just vendors, wholesalers and running restaurants providing food, unaware of any crime.




What i find problematic is that they are taking a systemic American problem and blaming an entire ethnic group in the discourse to this ,which only deflects from real institutional flaws.

There is also a big double standard as well because if you noticed from the examples i have shown from White-collar elites and other White Americans engaging in corporate fraud it often results in civil penalties, settlements, or minimal criminal consequences.

Whereas with Somalis and other ethnic's/immigrants dozens of individuals , many of them small business owners are being criminally charged. The legal response faster, harsher and more personal, they go beyond the organizations/companies to target individuals directly

Meanwhile someone like Rick Scott got a slap on the wrist after he defrauded the government billions and walked away with millions in settlement, even after he pleaded the fifth.
