Show Notes
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announces the National Fraud Enforcement Division, aiming to combat fraud that has escalated into a full-blown crisis. The division unites every U.S. Attorneys office, adds 93 new prosecutors, and enhances data sharing to track down scammers. This comes after a significant bust in California, where eight individuals were apprehended for stealing $50 million from Medicare. Fraud surged during COVID, with billions in taxpayer money vanishing due to loosened rules. Now, officials like CMS head Dr. Mehmet Oz call for reinstating guardrails. The DOJ is currently investigating 8,000 cases, but Blanche warns that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Fraudsters, be warned: the feds are stepping up their game, charging crimes, and shutting down schemes.
