The Billion Dollar Theft in Minneapolis

by Newt Gingrich

The scale of fraud and corruption being exposed in Minneapolis may be the largest theft of taxpayer money in American history.

Acting US Attorney Joseph Thompson said on Sept. 18 in reference to a Medicaid housing scheme that fraudulent actors in the state and their various systems of fraud “form a web that has stolen billions of dollars in taxpayer money.”

On Sept. 24, he said of another case involving millions stolen from a government program to help children with autism “the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.”
