Whilie we were criss-crossing the state last week with our Anti-Fraud Summer Tour (five events in four days), the U.S. Attorney for MN was busy recording guilty pleas and prison sentences in federal courtrooms.
From Monday,
Man Sentenced to 30 Months’ Imprisonment for Role in $3 Million Tax Fraud Conspiracy
Details,
United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen Minnesota announced that Henry Remington Herod, 43, was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment and ordered to pay $1.18 million in restitution for his role in preparing and filing false, fictitious, and fraudulent federal income tax returns claiming refunds.
On Tuesday,
Pelican Rapids Man is 68th Defendant to be Convicted in Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme
By my count the number is up to 70, including individuals convicted in multiple frauds. But congratulations either way.
On Friday, the U.S. Attorney announced,
Man Sentenced to 120 Months’ Imprisonment for Role in Bribing a Juror During Feeding Our Future Trial
That’s 10 years added to the 28-year sentence for the underlying fraud case.
Also on Friday, the U.S. Dept. of Justice announced,
Four Men Plead Guilty to $2M Minnesota Medicaid Fraud
Defendants Operating Out of the Griggs-Midway Building Used Artificial Intelligence to Fabricate Records
Details,
Four Minnesota men pleaded guilty to defrauding Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program out of approximately $2.2 million.
The four involved:
According to court documents, Moktar Hassan Aden, 31, Mustafa Dayib Ali, 29, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, 26, and Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, 27, all of the Twin Cities area, set up Brilliant Minds Services LLC in the notorious Griggs-Midway Building in St. Paul, Minnesota, and enrolled the business as a Medicaid program provider.
As the song goes,

More, more, more!
