To put it in some kind of perspective…
You'd need 360 vaults filled with $25 million each to total $9 billion. That's 9,000,000,000 ÷ 25,000,000 = 360. Impressive stack!
That would equal a $25,000,000 bank robbery everyday of the year for a year.
There should be a negligent homicide charge in there too…
To put it in another kind of perspective, you would have to watch every episode of Breaking Bad 500 times in a year to equal the amount of money that was fraudulently embezzled in Minnesota's social services programs.
While Governor Tim Walz has pledged accountability and reforms, critics highlight silenced whistleblowers and a surge in program costs from $26 million in 2022 to $168 million in 2024, with at least one documented death linked to service neglect amid the fraud.
