Alexander Suker, 42, was contracted with the city and county of Los Angeles to house and feed up to 600 homeless people, but was accused of misusing tens of millions of dollars to live a luxurious life. Exclusive Fox video shows the federal agents’ early-morning bust at the LA mansion. Suker was arrested, and his $125,000 Land Rover was seized by law enforcement. The feds say Suker defrauded the city and county of LA out of $23,000,000 for not only his mansion and car, but a second home in Greece, luxury vacations, designer clothes, and private schools. Speaker 1: He was living the high life while the people suffering, homeless on the streets with no shelter, no food. They're living out in the streets. People are literally dying, and this guy is out vacationing, buying homes, buying Range Rovers, and going shopping. Speaker 0: Prosecutors say Suker was supposed to provide three nutritional meals a day to the homeless, but during one inspection, Suker only had canned beans and ramen noodles on hand. The feds say Suker lied about various aspects of abundant blessings, including fake vendors, facilities and the homeless actually getting meals. The US Attorney's Office in LA says they are actively investigating at least 12 other similar fraud cases here in California. First Assistant US Attorney Bill Asele says there's a tremendous amount of fraud in this state and that today's bust of one man who misused $23,000,000 alone may show how little oversight there is. Speaker 1: California was pushing this money out quickly. A lot of money went out the door, with frankly very little vetting, very little checks and balances, and, he's one of the individuals that got it. Speaker 0: The suspect is scheduled to make his first appearance later today. He faces up to twenty years if convicted on a federal case. The local district attorney is also planning on prosecuting.

Four people are pleading guilty in a half-billion-dollar bribery scandal involving USAID. According to the Justice Department, USAID official Roderick Watson sold his influence starting in 2013. Contractors Walter Barnes and Daryl Britt funneled payoffs through subcontractor Paul Young. Barnes' company kept receiving federal funds, including $5,000 for human resources consulting and a contract worth up to $800,000,000 after suing the government. The Justice Department's Matthew r Gagliotti stated that the scheme violated the public trust by corrupting the federal government's procurement process. Some suggest USAID funneled taxpayer dollars into ideological projects and that the agency needs to be redone. The Justice Department says this kind of fraud erodes public trust.

A $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, allowing people to draw down money freely. Upon investigation, it was found that the funds were used to rent Caesar's Palace and stadiums for parties. The Department of Education implemented a simple change requiring recipients to upload a receipt before drawing down money. Although the receipts were not checked and could be fake, requests for money stopped entirely. Initially, fraud starts small and is concealed, but if left unchecked, it grows more brazen over time, eventually escalating to renting out stadiums.

According to the speaker, New York Attorney General Leticia James is guilty of mortgage fraud for allegedly misrepresenting the number of units in her apartment complex. In 02/2001, James purchased a five-unit complex. In 02/2005, she refinanced the loan. In 02/2011, she allegedly took advantage of the HAMP federal program, which capped eligibility to buildings with four or fewer units, to prevent her loan interest from reaching its maximum. The speaker claims James repeatedly listed the complex as having four units in order to obtain the lowest possible interest rates, saving her tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. The speaker states that the property remains a five-unit complex. The speaker says they have documents proving the original purchase was for a five-unit complex and that James has since labeled it as a four-unit to take advantage of federal programs. The speaker urges viewers to tag Pam Bondi, the DOJ, and the FBI.

The transcript asserts that the government can provide funding to a so called nonprofit with very few controls, and that there is no auditing subsequently of that nonprofit. It emphasizes that with the 1,900,000,000.0 to Stacey Abrams, those involved “give themselves extremely lavish, like, salaries, expense everything” and that the nonprofit is used to “buy jets and homes and all sorts of things” and to “live like kings and queens” within the tax paradigm. The speaker reiterates that this pattern is not isolated to a single instance but is happening at scale. It is described as not being limited to one or two cases but as something being seen “everywhere.” Key points highlighted include: - Government funding to nonprofits occurs with very few controls. - There is an absence of auditing of the recipient nonprofit after the funding is provided. - A substantial amount, specifically 1,900,000,000.0, is directed to a high-profile figure identified as Stacey Abrams. - The recipients are portrayed as granting themselves lavish salaries, paying for expenses, and purchasing luxury assets such as jets and homes. - The overall implication is that funds are used to “buy jets and homes and all sorts of things,” leading to a lifestyle described as living “like kings and queens” within the tax framework. - The speaker stresses that this phenomenon is not isolated but is happening at scale, with examples seen “everywhere.” The speaker’s framing centers on alleged governance and accountability failures in nonprofit funding, pointing to large sums of money directed to an individual and the perceived use of nonprofit resources for personal luxury. The emphasis is on the scale of the practice and the lack of oversight, suggesting systemic repetition rather than isolated incidents.

A $500 million bribery scandal involving USAID has resulted in four guilty pleas. According to the Justice Department, USAID official Roderick Watson sold his influence beginning in 2013. Contractors Walter Barnes and Daryl Britt funneled payoffs through subcontractor Paul Young. Barnes' company, working with another firm, continued receiving federal funds, including $5,000 for HR consulting and later, after suing the government, a contract worth up to $800 million. The Justice Department's Matthew Gagliotti stated the scheme violated public trust by corrupting the federal procurement process. Cutting waste, fraud, and abuse has been a major priority for House Speaker Mike Johnson. USAID has been a target for those seeking to trim government spending, with some alleging the agency funneled taxpayer money into ideological projects. The Justice Department says this kind of fraud erodes public trust.

A $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, allowing people to draw money freely. Upon investigation, it was found that the money was used to rent Caesar's Palace and stadiums for parties. The only change made was requiring recipients to upload a receipt before drawing funds. After this change, nobody requested money anymore. Although the receipts were not checked and could be fake, the mere request for documentation stopped the requests. Initially, fraud starts small and is hidden, but if unchecked, it grows more brazen each year until they are renting out stadiums.

Speaker 0: In America, we don't have a tax problem. We've got a third world problem. This is not an exaggeration. The United States collects over $2,400,000,000,000 in income taxes every year and then burns $1,500,000,000,000 through fraud, waste, and third world robbery. If the elites actually did their jobs and cut out the waste, the government would only need about $900,000,000,000 to function. And here's the crazy part. That would mean anyone earning under $500,000 a year could pay zero income tax, and everything would still be fully funded. So if this money isn't funding our future, whose dream is it really building? Look at Minnesota. The Somali daycare scandal gave us the answer. Billions of dollars you worked for, money meant to feed hungry kids, was diverted through fake daycare centers, phantom meals, and paperwork designed to approve. Not question, no kids, no food, just checks. Your hard earned labor was turned into Lamborghinis, beachfront mansions, and luxury vacations most of us will never experience even after a lifetime of honest work. On top of that, your tax dollars were routed to foreign organizations The US Military is fighting. Let that sink in. We went from defending liberty to bankrolling the threat. That's not compassion. That's collapse. And when systems fail like this, they don't admit mistakes. They don't apologize for wasting your money. They dig deeper into your pockets to fund their failure.

Taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs. If it's a government-funded NGO, it's effectively just the government. A fraud loophole exists because the government can send money to an NGO that is no longer governed by U.S. laws. The money is sent overseas to one NGO, then through others. The speaker is highly confident that some of that money returns to the U.S. and enriches certain people. There are strangely wealthy members of Congress, and it's unclear how they accumulated millions while earning comparatively little. The speaker aims to investigate this and prevent it from continuing.

A former Facebook and Nike diversity manager was sentenced to prison for stealing $5,000,000 meant for DEI initiatives. She used fraudulent vendors and fake invoices to carry out the scheme. The justice department had been monitoring her activities for some time. She also marketed face shields during the pandemic. The video discusses the impact of DEI hires taking more than they give. The segment is sponsored by Done With Debt, offering debt relief solutions. The speaker, Elijah Schaeffer, urges viewers to visit the website for assistance.

Two scammers pled guilty to a $68,000,000 fraud scheme tied to the state's Medicaid home care program. The crooks billed for millions in services that they never provided, in a case linked to the CDPAP program, which allows people who need care to hire their own caregiver through Medicaid, choosing a friend or relative as long as they go through the process. News Nation reports that two New Yorkers pled guilty to a involving large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid over $68,000,000 for services that were not provided. This follows a separate million-dollar-plus conviction announced by New York Attorney General Letitia James this week, still tied to fake billing and kickback schemes within the state's Medicaid program. CDPAP, the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is described as meant to make care easier for loved ones at home rather than in nursing homes, but is targeted by sophisticated scammers. Attorney John Flynn explains that while CDPAP is for people who need care, it’s become a target for scammers; the program’s intent is good, but bad people are taking advantage of federal and state money. The article notes that fraud in the CDPAP program is not new. In 2018, a man arranged for friends and family members to be paid as home caregivers for his sick mom, only to discover his mom was living in Bangladesh; during home inspections, his brother impersonated her to keep the fraud going. In 2024, Governor Kathy Hochul called CDPAP a “racket” and described it as one of the most abused programs in New York’s history. News Nation asked the governor’s office for comment on the recent fraud charges; a spokesperson said she has taken steps to fix the system by cutting out hundreds of middlemen. The governor’s office also cited Letitia James’s transportation company bust as an example of efforts to stop this kind of crime. The report notes that when Republicans asked for an audit of the CDPAP program in New York, supporters called it a political stunt, arguing that measures are already in place. Amid ongoing fraud, the narrative references a broader effort, including President Donald Trump announcing a new division to combat crimes like this. Natasha and Lea Lando are reporting on this developing story from New York. Lea Lando is live in Manhattan with the latest.

The speaker asserts that fraud has been legalized and concealed through unethical behavior enabled by unethical legislation, effectively allowing the fraud to go unseen, untracked, and without accountability. The speaker highlights Nexus Family Healing, a nonprofit located in Plymouth, Minnesota, as an example. According to the speaker, Nexus Family Healing is a national nonprofit with an executive director earning well over $500,000 annually, who is awarded a $1,000,000 grant contract through Hennepin County. The speaker then alleges that this $1,000,000 grant morphs into a three-year $7,000,000 ongoing contract, and claims that nobody knows how or why this transformation occurs. The speaker notes that when Hennepin County workers approached Julie Blaha in the state auditor’s office with concerns, they were met with “complete radio silence.” The speaker contends that Julie Blaha refuses to take action. The claim is made that the state auditor’s office is currently opaque, with no visible duties, no responsibility, and no accountability arising from that office. The speaker adds that the office receives $8,000,000 in biannual funding, yet allegedly does nothing beyond purported TikTok dances. The overarching claim is that there needs to be someone in the state auditor’s office who actually takes responsibility for how taxpayer dollars are managed and accounted for. The speaker uses these points to argue that the current system enables undisclosed or unaddressed fraud through a combination of perceived legislative loopholes and a lack of oversight or action from the state auditor’s office. The narrative centers on alleged improper contracting and funding flows involving Nexus Family Healing, and the perceived non-responsiveness of Julie Blaha and the state auditor’s office in the face of county concerns about these matters.

The shocking part of investigating government-funded NGOs is that small decisions lead to massive, multi-billion dollar outcomes. I saw one instance of $1.9 billion being sent to an NGO that was formed a year prior and had no prior activity. Government-funded NGOs are essentially a loophole, allowing actions that would be illegal for the government directly but become permissible through nonprofits. These nonprofits are then used for personal enrichment, with individuals cashing out and paying themselves exorbitant sums. It's a giant scam where people can establish an NGO for a relatively small investment and then lobby politicians to funnel vast sums of money into it. There might be some good that comes from them, maybe 5 or 10%, but the rest is not.

The Trump administration has accused New York Attorney General Leticia James of mortgage fraud. The Federal Housing Finance Agency sent a criminal referral to the DOJ, alleging James falsified records to obtain favorable loan terms. Specifically, James allegedly claimed a Virginia property as her primary residence while also claiming her primary residence was in New York as an elected official. Additionally, she allegedly misclassified a New York property as a four-unit structure instead of five to secure a more favorable loan. It's also claimed that she stated her father was her husband on some forms. Legal experts note the irony, as James prosecuted Trump for similar offenses, including making false statements to financial institutions. The DOJ has previously prosecuted individuals for falsely claiming a property as their primary residence to obtain loans. One legal expert stated that the documents are quite damning and it's hard to see how the residences listed were her principal residences.

A man contracted by the city and county of Los Angeles to house and feed up to 600 homeless people was arrested for allegedly misusing tens of millions of dollars to live a luxurious life. 42-year-old Alexander Suker was taken into custody as exclusive Fox video shows the early-morning federal bust at the LA mansion. Suker’s $125,000 Land Rover was seized, and authorities say he defrauded the city and county of Los Angeles out of $23,000,000, covering a mansion and car, a second home in Greece, luxury vacations, designer clothes, and private schools. Prosecutors say Suker was supposed to provide three nutritional meals a day to the homeless, but during one inspection he only had canned beans and ramen noodles on hand. The FBI says Suker lied about various aspects of his supposed “abundant blessings,” including fake vendors, facilities, and the homeless actually receiving meals. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles notes they are actively investigating at least 12 other similar fraud cases in California. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Asele says there’s a tremendous amount of fraud in this state and that today’s bust of one man who misused $23,000,000 alone may show how little oversight there is. California was pushing this money out quickly, with a lot of money going out the door, Asele adds, with frankly very little vetting and very few checks and balances, and Suker is one of the individuals who benefited. The suspect is scheduled to make his first appearance later today. He faces up to twenty years if convicted on the federal case. The local district attorney is also planning on prosecuting.

First class plane tickets, luxury cars, fine jewelry, all these lavish things allegedly bought by Minnesota fraudsters with taxpayer money intended for hungry children. New documents obtained by NewsNation show hundreds of millions of dollars worth of funds were spent in the fraud scheme engulfing Minnesota’s social services programs, prompting an investigation by the House Oversight Committee. The committee’s chairman, congressman James Comer, told NewsNation he thinks this could potentially be an organized scheme expanding beyond Minnesota. Speaker 1 also suggested that this is happening in other states with other social programs and other groups. Rich McHugh, reporting for NewsNation, noted that the new documents reveal how millions of dollars of taxpayer funds built from Minnesota’s welfare scandal were spent, with the indicted individuals “living large” and “burning large amounts of cash.” According to the coverage, when the indictments were first announced in September 2022, the revelations were shocking even then. The reports describe purchases of houses in Minnesota, resort property, and real estate in Kenya and Turkey, as well as luxury cars, commercial property, jewelry, and much more. A Maldives honeymoon is described as part of the lifestyle, and there was footage of the group popping champagne. The documents show investments in waterfront properties and real estate—“entire buildings in Kenya”—as well as Porsches. The scammers were young and reportedly very wealthy, texting each other images and messages, including “a box full of cash” valued at a quarter of a million dollars, and a note saying, “you are gonna be the richest 25 year old, inshallah.” They wired millions to China and to Kenya, and one text reportedly said, “please send 1,000 to Mogadishu Baccarat,” which appears to reference a market in Somalia once controlled by Al Shabaab, the site of the 1993 Black Hawk Down incident. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (Treasury Secretary Scott Besson is referred to in the transcript as the speaker) said they are investigating and will try to find any links of this money going to Somalia and to Al Shabaab, and they plan to look at more scrutiny on all monies going back to Somalia. The report emphasizes that this investigation is just beginning, with ongoing scrutiny and potential broader implications beyond Minnesota.

Medicare was scammed out of $760,000,000. An investigation in Phoenix was opened after a complaint about suspicious billing to Arizona Medicaid. This led to a network of sober living homes, intended to help those struggling with addiction, many of whom were Native Americans. Instead, it was a massive fraud scheme that billed for services never provided. The sober living home facilities owned by ProMD received more than $560,000,000 for services that were not provided.

Retired four-star admiral Robert Burke has been arrested on bribery charges. He is accused of directing a government training contract to a private company that promised him a $500,000 annual salary and stock options after retirement. Prosecutors allege the bribery scheme occurred between 2020 and 2022 while Burke was head of naval operations in Europe and Africa. Burke has not yet entered a plea.

Leticia James is accused of falsely claiming a Virginia property as her primary residence in 2023, potentially violating public officers law and vacating her NY AG position. This occurred shortly before her civil fraud case against Donald Trump. The motivation was allegedly to obtain lower interest rates. Additionally, James is accused of misrepresenting her Brooklyn townhouse as a four-unit dwelling instead of five to secure lower mortgage rates and insurance. Complaints were reportedly filed but dismissed as a minor error, while other landlords face fines for similar violations. In 1983, James allegedly filed a $30,000 loan with her father, falsely claiming to be married to him to get different underwriting terms. Between 2021 and 2022, James spent $42,000 in taxpayer money on private jets through a vendor called Venture Jets, which no other government agency has used since 2014. Some trips coincided with campaign events. The speaker attributes his investigative skills to his past as a criminal and the training he received from the FBI.

I'm an Arizona woman who pleaded guilty to a fraud scheme that made millions of dollars for myself and the North Korean government. I helped North Korean IT workers pose as Americans to get remote jobs at over 300 U.S. companies. From my home, I ran a laptop farm. These companies believed they were hiring people located in the U.S. not realizing the employees were actually in North Korea. I'm expected to serve at least eight years in prison as part of my plea deal. The Justice Department hopes my case will serve as a warning to companies who hire remote IT workers.
