The documentary-style segment follows Nick Shirley and David as they investigate widespread fraud in Minnesota, centering on nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT), daycare operations, and the way state funds are billed for services that may not be delivered. They present a pattern where transportation companies appear to underpin multiple fraud schemes across childcare, adult daycare, autism services, and interpreter services, with transportation acting as the “belly of the beast” that ties these lines of fraud together. Key findings and claims include: - The investigation asserts that Minnesota’s NEMT sector is dominated by Somali-owned companies. David notes about 20 NEMT companies in Minnesota, with more than 90% Somali-owned, many hosted in addresses that appear noncommercial or vacant (an apartment, a house, a convenience store, or a vacant building) with little or no signage or staff. - The group argues the average national vehicle count per NEMT company is 20. They estimate Minnesota could have approximately 800 Somali-owned NEMT companies, each with about 20 vehicles, and claim payments from the state are based on electronic submissions of trips and miles, with trips typically paid at about $50 per trip (round trips $100). They contend many trips are never performed, yet payments are made once the electronic form is submitted, with no verification of actual service delivery. - The symposium of fraud is described as consisting of daycares, adult daycares, autism services, and other welfare providers that rely on the transportation brokers to create a paper-trail justifying payments to the providers, even when services aren’t delivered. This paper trail allegedly enables continued state funding for many supposedly operating centers. - Safari Transportation (607 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis) and Dreamline Transportation (617 Cedar Avenue South) are presented as examples of fraudulent listings: Safari Transportation is alleged not to exist at the listed address; Dreamline Transportation is said to be housed in a liquor store at 617 Cedar Avenue South, with multiple addresses showing confusing or false registration. On-site checks reveal no functioning transportation company or vans, and staff acknowledge the addresses are misleading. The reporting team notes that the listed addresses often correspond to other, non-transport businesses (e.g., money-wiring shops or liquor stores), with no observable fleet and no evidence of active transportation services. - They visit other addresses tied to transportation, such as Epimonia Transport (at 305/308 area) and Crescent Transportation in Saint Louis Park; Epimonia is described as lacking vehicles and consistency in address listings, while Crescent Transportation is found to be an apartment complex rather than a storefront, casting doubt on the legitimacy of these entities. - The Hopkins Child Care Center is highlighted as an example of large state funding for a facility licensed for 118 children, with reported funding of around $2.25 million for a given year and millions across multiple years, yet the center is observed as shuttered or lacking visible child activity, with many vehicles reportedly idle and windows blacked out. Similar patterns are noted at other daycare centers such as Quality Learning Center and Proud Child Care Center in Eden Prairie, which also show high funding receipts (e.g., $1.9 million for Quality Learning Center in a given year; Proud Child Care Center receiving about $1.25–$1.26 million in recent years), but with no apparent foot traffic or detectable enrollment. - The investigation connects the fraud to political actors and public officials, alleging cover-ups or complicity, and raises questions about accountability for figures like Tim Walz. They assert that investigations and governmental actions have been insufficient or misdirected to address the alleged fraud. - In a broader fraud narrative, they claim millions of dollars were being funneled through TSA at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, with whistleblowers recounting large sums (often in the millions) moved by Somali-descent individuals, sometimes via routes through Atlanta to Dubai before wiring money to Somalia. A former TSA narcotics investigator describes routine cash movements at checkpoints, suggesting that declarations of large sums did not trigger meaningful enforcement, and implying the funds were linked to the daycare and welfare networks described earlier. Throughout, the speakers attempt to confront individuals at various sites, record responses, and juxtapose the alleged abundance of funding with the lack of visible services or vehicles. They emphasize that even when fraud is spotlighted, participants often respond with hostility or denial, while security is required to manage confrontations. They conclude with a call for accountability and reforms, asserting that the fraud spans the entire state and that transportation companies are central to the ability to sustain fraudulent payments.

A documentary-style investigation in Minnesota accuses widespread government-funded fraud across childcare, elder care, and health care services, alleging that hundreds of millions (potentially billions) of taxpayer dollars were funneled to fraudulent businesses, many run by Somali-owned entities, with insufficient or no evidence of actual children or patients being served. Key figures and setup - David: An investigator whose office is in Minneapolis, claiming firsthand exposure to fraud. He frames the problem as deeply entrenched, involving billions of dollars and potentially ties to terrorist groups abroad. - Nick Shirley: The presenter and filmmaker, documenting the investigation, confronting daycare centers, health care providers, and government officials. Main fraud allegations and examples - Childcare and early learning centers: - Multiple Minneapolis daycares listed at the same addresses, licensed for large capacities (e.g., 120 children) but with no children present in long-running site visits. - Examples include Mako Childcare and Mini Childcare Center: combined licensing for 120 children, but vans never moving and no children observed over repeated visits; fiscal year payments ranged from about 714,000 to over 1.6 million dollars for the two centers in various years. - ABC Learning Center and other nearby facilities: windows blocked out, doors locked, no children observed despite licensing for dozens or hundreds of children; payments in the hundreds of thousands to millions per year. - Sweet Angel Childcare and others: similar patterns—license capacity reported, payments received, but no children seen; in one case, ongoing operation with no obvious play area or evidence of childcare. - The video notes cases where two daycares share addresses or switch names (e.g., Creative Minds Daycare reopens as Super Kids Daycare Center) yet continue to receive state funding, suggesting “fraudulent” billing. - Some locations claimed to be open long hours and to serve many children, yet on-site visits found no children, locked doors, or hostile responses when questioned. In one instance, a staffer refused to discuss the operation or provide paperwork. - Specific sums cited include ownership of facilities with payments like 1.26 million, 987 thousand, 714 thousand, 1.6 million, 1.3 million, 1.0–1.6 million in various fiscal years, totaling near several millions per site and aggregating toward millions across multiple centers. - Home health care and other services: - A building housing 14 Somali-owned home health care companies under many different names, all operating from the same location, raising concerns about service provision and billing. - A broader claim that in Minnesota, 14–22 Somali health care businesses at the same address are part of the same ecosystem; government money (state and federal CCAP funding) is disbursed to these entities, with a perception that services may not be rendered as billed. - A separate building contains numerous health care providers; the interviewee asserts that 50–60 million dollars per year could be fraudulently routed through this single building. - Overall scale and claims: - David asserts the fraud is “far worse than anybody can imagine” with estimates initially as high as 7 to 10 billion, later revised publicly to around 8 billion; in total, a major portion of the state budget is implicated. - A central claim is that funds from CCAP (a blend of federal and state money, taxpayer money) are written as checks to providers who may not deliver corresponding services; the state’s checks are allegedly not effectively cross-checked for actual service provision. - Political and procedural dimensions: - The investigation contends that Minnesota governor Tim Walz is responsible for allowing or failing to curb fraud, describing the state as “ground zero” for the issue and criticizing political and procedural inaction. - The documentary frames fraud as nonpartisan, noting Medicaid fraud occurs across parties and administrations nationwide, but then presents a partisan friction as they confront lawmakers at a state Capitol hearing. - At the Capitol hearing, Republicans and Democrats discuss fraud, with some speakers asserting the problem is nonpartisan and rooted in systemic issues across administrations, while others push to hold specific leaders accountable and emphasize the need for transparency and enforcement. Confrontations and outcomes - The team encounters resistance and hostility at several sites, including doors locked, hostile staff, and in one instance, a confrontation resulting in police involvement at a building housing healthcare providers. - The investigators claim to have faced intimidation and even threats; they describe instances of violence toward them for asking questions about child and elder care fraud. - The film documents a tense, complex landscape of allegations, aiming to connect misallocated funds to non-delivered services, with ongoing investigations, raids, and political debate as the state capital becomes a focal point for accountability discussions.

At Future Leaders Early Learning Center, a parent repeatedly attempts to enroll their child, Joey, but is told nothing is working and cannot obtain paperwork or a business card. The parent asks if Joey can be checked into the daycare and whether there are children present to accompany him. The staff indicates there are no children today and implies that Joey would not be accepted into the daycare, leaving the parent frustrated as they explain they would like to put Joey in the center because they’ve heard great things. Speaker 1 notes that Joey is still homeless, and Speaker 0 reiterates that Joey is still looking for daycare. The scene shifts to an autism center as an alternative option, prompted by the perceived rise of autism in Minnesota and the claim that government funds are contributing to this rise. The parent explains that, since many daycare centers are closed, they are trying to check Joey into an autism center. The staff at the autism center avoids giving a precise number of children, suggesting there are more than five but cannot provide an exact count. Speaker 0 asks the autism center staff what they think about fraud that has been labeled on autism centers in the area and why these centers are popping up. The staff member responds that they cannot answer questions about fraud and asks if the interviewer is a news reporter, identifying themselves as Nick. They emphasize they are trying to determine legitimacy before bringing Joey there, to avoid a non-legitimate business. The interaction continues with a back-and-forth in which the autism center staff denies being a ghost operation and references another phone number, but the main exchange focuses on the difficulty of finding a place for Joey. The closing remark from Speaker 0 underscores that, once again, little Joey cannot get into daycare and cannot be accepted by the autism center either. In summary, the sequence documents a parent’s unsuccessful attempts to place Joey in a daycare (due to no availability and a lack of acceptance for the child on this visit) and then considers enrolling him in an autism center, amid questions about the legitimacy and prevalence of such centers and concerns about fraud, with limited information about the number of children served. The rift between wanting a reliable, enrolling option for Joey and the centers’ unclear capacity or legitimacy is repeatedly highlighted.

If you have a complaint, go to the state," and clarifies that if it is a daycare, there’s no need to go door to door. They explain, "You can go door to door," and suggest calling the childcare check for information. The question about whether the property is a daycare is answered: "So you guys aren't a daycare then?" and "Don't report our property either." The speaker notes that the door-to-door visit was unnecessary if it is not a public daycare, and mentions that the person directing them to contact the state was interesting. The encounter is described as very hostile, with the speaker having knocked on the door to verify if the site is a local daycare listed on websites.

The investigation highlights potential fraud or serious irregularities in Somali daycare operations, based on observed signs such as windows not covered with vinyl and a lack of signage or children visible at purported day care locations. The team questions the existence of many day cares, noting that some places listed as licensed have no identifiable activity or occupants when visited. Speaker 2 argues that even if a daycare were legitimate and serving only two children, there is “no world” where the government should be giving almost a million dollars or three-quarters of a million dollars in subsidies to such a place. The discussion underscores how fraudulent claims can be made easily and points to a lack of visible accountability in the system. The agency responsible for overseeing and funding daycares is identified as the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families, with Secretary Tana Sen named as the head of the agency being discussed. To contact leadership, the team attempts to reach the communications department led by Nancy Gutierrez, noting repeated efforts to obtain comment about suspicious Somali daycares. They report multiple attempts to call and email, with messages indicating that some numbers are unavailable and voicemails are full. Speaker 0 notes the difficulty in getting a response from DCYF’s top communications official, emphasizing that their mailbox is full and no responses have been received. This lack of contact is framed as convenient for avoiding questions about the alleged issues. Speaker 6 states that if fraud is confirmed, a forensic audit should be conducted to trace how much money was actually spent and to recover any funds. Speaker 7 suggests that, even in the best-case scenario, the situation is inefficient and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Speaker 8 adds that there is a prevailing attitude in Olympia that does not recognize the problem.

The speaker describes a pattern of fraud concentrated in clusters rather than in isolated, large-scale operations. The fraud appears to occur within family groups or tightly connected networks, spreading across multiple small sites rather than a single, massive operation. These clusters involve using single apartments, single condos, or potentially a single-family home outside of Boston, effectively creating numerous small daycare facilities. The speaker notes that the capacity of these clusters is not as high as it might be in other regions (e.g., Minnesota). As a result, fraud operates at a large number of smaller sites rather than a few large ones. The implication is that there may be more individual perpetrators overall, but each site commits fraud on a smaller scale. This distributed approach contrasts with a hypothetical scenario in which one building or site would generate a multi-million-dollar fraud; instead, the speaker expects many buildings each contributing smaller amounts, culminating in a broader spread of fraudulent activity. A key factor driving this pattern is the very low barrier to entry for opening a daycare, which facilitates a large number of potential operators and, consequently, a higher overall opportunity for fraud. The speaker emphasizes that this low barrier makes it easier for fraudulent actors to multiply across numerous small locations, contributing to a wide but shallow trafficking of schemes. The speaker explains the financial impact and mechanism of the fraud: the state is subsidizing payments for these kids, but the fraud involves both the daycare and the parents allegedly claiming that children attend the daycare when they do not. In reality, the parents certify attendance, while the daycare providers and the parents are allegedly splitting the subsidized funds. As a result, taxpayers bear the burden of subsidizing services that are not actually being provided to the claimed attendees. In summary, the described fraud occurs in clustered groups, leveraging many small daycare operations (often housed in single residences) with a very low entry barrier, leading to widespread but not individually vast fraud. The purported scheme involves falsified attendance to obtain state subsidies, with the daycare operators and some parents allegedly sharing the ill-gotten funds.

Speaker 0: Massive fraud is going on here in the state of Minnesota, especially in Minneapolis. Explain to me what's going on with the day cares. Speaker 1: One of the things I've noticed is there’s an exceptional number of childcare centers set up mostly in Minneapolis, but also in Saint Paul. I wondered how many kids are there in the Twin Cities. I visited facilities near my office and saw there aren’t any kids there. I’d go to another one and there aren’t any kids there either. I spoke with someone outside who said, “We’re all full,” yet when I looked inside the door was open and there was a couch and a table with a couple chairs and no kids. I asked if the kids were outside playing or what kind of place this was, and the staffer said, “You go,” and followed me down the street to my car. That made me think something was going on, and this was maybe five years ago. Speaker 1: This fraud is so massive. When the dust settles on this, it’s going to be found to be the largest fraud in the history of the country and probably the world. The ones I’ve gotten data on average about $2,500,000 a year, and a lot of them will say they have anywhere from 80 to 120 children. Speaker 1: I’ve been to literally 40 or 50 of these childcare centers, and there never has been a single child at any one of them ever. Morning, afternoon, evening. Some say they’re open till 10:00 at night. I go there in the morning, I go there in the afternoon, I go there at 9:00 at night. Nobody. There are no kids there ever.

In Columbus, Ohio, in front of the Great Minds Learning Academy, one of several day care centers associated with the Somali community, speakers discuss a report by Nick Shirley about fraudulent daycare facilities in Minneapolis. They note this is the second-largest Somali community in the United States and intend to investigate further. The team attempts to visit the first center, knocking and ringing the doorbell, but no one answers and the door is locked. They speak with a local man who says the daycare is owned by Somalians and mentions that he has never seen children there, noting that the center “use[s] the back door,” so they don’t see anyone coming in or out. He lives in the same building and confirms that he has not seen kids at the location. Another speaker reiterates, “I’ve just seen it the building itself. I’ve never seen nobody come out the building or go into the building.” The group proceeds to the back of the building, as suggested, but finds nothing there. They decide to move on, noting there are many more centers to visit, and plan to go around the city to speak with people at additional locations. They sign off with a plan to continue the investigation and stay tuned.

The investigation into fraud in public daycare subsidies is described as massive and deeply obstructed. "Massive. They don't want a fraud unit to do anything. They want a fraud unit on paper." The discussion centers on Halicki, who was fired in 2013 while in the midst of a large probe. The county’s account of Halicki is that he was an insubordinate bully whose tactics hampered efforts to catch welfare cheats, while supporters call the firing part of a broader effort to suppress accountability. One side frames the situation as a cover up: “They don't wanna point fingers at various organizations and people. This is nothing but a giant cover up.” The reporting highlights deco daycare centers, with evidence that the company collected millions in public subsidies for providing bogus child care services to low income families. The overarching assertion is that, in essence, this scheme was a criminal enterprise. In December, Ramsey County charged the owner of Dico with fraud. The daycares shown are described as billing the county at rates over $100,000 a month. Halicki says that before his dismissal he was tracking a similar scheme in Hennepin County involving multiple child care centers. One building is noted as housing its third daycare center in as many years, with a new license granted despite concerns. The two previous centers had their public subsidies stopped by the county because of billing irregularities. Halicki recounts footage of centers with questionable visibility: “7AM to 6PM. There are no lights on.” He and the team visited centers that had no signs outside and, during posted business hours, no one answered. They checked state inspection records for each center on Halecki's tour, finding licensing violations—the kind that are red flags to the state's Department of Human Services. The core accusation is that this is a deliberate attempt by officials in Hennepin County to deceive taxpayers. Halicki claims to possess emails and documents proving knowledge of the wrongdoing and deliberate inaction. He cites an email to the supervisor of the fraud unit where the stated goal was to stop the bleeding quickly and protect taxpayer money from going out the door; the supervisor replies with a plan to tackle the centers, and Halicki reiterates, “It's nothing but a giant cover up.” Officials emphasize that the focus is on prevention, but they do investigate and take action with the county attorney when fraud occurs. In the two years since Halicki was fired, not one case has been prosecuted by the county. The report notes that most metro counties aren’t actively investigating daycare center fraud; instead, they’re handing those cases off to a DHS special team that was ramped up more than a year ago. Public frustration is voiced: “Nobody is more frustrated with the amount of time it's taking than we are.”

It's the morning of March 15, and the report centers on a tip about a man leaving the country with a carry-on bag packed with a million dollars in cash. Sources say he just cleared security with that bag, and that such cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP International. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai, and beyond, with sources claiming that last year more than $100,000,000 in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage. The reporters say their main interest is where the money is going. The national go-to expert cited is Glenn Kearns, a former Seattle police detective who spent fifteen years on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force before retirement. Kearns is described as having tracked millions of dollars in cash leaving on flights from Seattle, money that came from hawalas—informal networks used to courier money to countries with little or no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on hawalas to send funds to relatives back home. Kearns discovered that some of the money was being funneled to a hawala in a region of Somalia controlled by the Al Shabaab terrorist group. The narrative then shifts to a claim that the money transfers are connected to welfare fraud, specifically day care-related fraud. The reporters note that to understand the link between day care fraud and the surge in carry-on cash, one must look at the history of the crime in Minnesota. Five years earlier, Fox 9 investigators reportedly first reported that day care fraud was rising in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with childcare expenses. The transcript explains the day care fraud scheme: centers sign up low-income families that qualify for child care assistance funding. Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center only to leave with them a few minutes later, or sometimes with no children at all. In any case, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare. The report highlights this as a significant mechanism by which funds were diverted, tying it to larger issues of cash being moved internationally via hawalas and used to support illicit networks.

The episode follows a fast‑paced investigative journey through Minnesota, where a series of large‑scale fraud allegations surrounding childcare funding and home health care services are laid bare. The host travels from storefronts to government offices, presenting a relentless stream of claims about contracts, licenses, and payments that appear to outpace any visible activity on the ground. In the daylight, vacant child care centers flaunt licenses and hefty monthly reimbursements, while the host and his collaborator press state employees, business owners, and residents for explanations, sometimes triggering tense exchanges and even the arrival of law enforcement.
