4 suspects accused of targeting Americans in $41M fraud scheme: FBI
ABC 4 News
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (TNND) — FBI Kash Patel said criminal charges were filed against four people in Minnesota accused of trying to defraud thousands of Americans out of more than $41 million.
Investigators executed 17 search warrants -- and 26 counts -- as part of an indictment, Patel said during an anti-fraud announcement on Friday.
"The subjects intended to defraud thousands of victims of over $41 million, money that was supposed to go to those in need with our precious taxpayer dollars funding that bill," Patel said, adding that childcare centers, healthcare centers, as well as the suspects' homes were raised as part of the investigation.
"Instead, they thought they could get away with their crimes," he said. "They did not succeed because of this team and the president and the vice president of the United States," he said.More Info
