This is very dark.
Assistant AG for National Fraud Enforcement Colin McDonald just laid bare the truly evil side of the fraud the government is now waging war against.
MCDONALD: “It’s really the worst of the worst kind of conduct that we encounter, which is people who prey on the elderly, the sick, and the needy.”
“They take their money but they also steal their identities.”
“They steal their personal information to make it appear as though those sick and needy and elderly are, in fact, their patients and then they bill the taxpayer for services that they do not render to those patients.”
“It’s very egregious conduct. These are not paperwork crimes that we are after.”
“These are crimes that affect our communities, that affect the most vulnerable among us.”
“And that’s what we are devoted, more now than ever before, to solving and to stamping out.”
The Trump administration is going after the predators who exploit America’s most vulnerable.
