$1.2 Billion Medicare Fraud Arrest
At 1:00:00 · chapter starts 59:40
The latest addition to the 'Nothing Is Happening File' is a major one: the arrest of the individual identified as the second most-wanted fraudster in America, allegedly the architect of a $1.2 billion Medicare fraud conspiracy. Bongino notes with pointed sarcasm that the Biden DOJ had plenty of bandwidth to arrest pro-lifers outside abortion clinics but somehow couldn't find this man while he fled the country with his money. The White House anti-fraud task force is credited with the bust. It's a data point, Bongino says — one of dozens that add up to a historically productive law enforcement year.
