WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced criminal charges Thursday against 15 alleged fraudsters accused of bilking taxpayers out of $90 million courtesy of Minnesota’s state-run Medicaid programs — including what prosecutors called the “largest autism fraud scheme ever.”
The busts also involved the “highest loss amount ever charged in a Medicaid case,” Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division Colin McDonald told reporters in Minneapolis, noting that the total sum stolen statewide in taxpayer-funded programs would likely top $9 billion.
