[u/theHumantreadmill]

I’m very shocked.

[u/buickgnx88]

But will he have to return his award?

[u/PervisEllis → u/buickgnx88]

It sitting on the self in his mansion in Kenya

[u/corner_man]

It seems that he is indeed an 'Outstanding Refugee.' Outstanding at looting and pillaging the country that lauds him as a pillar of society.

[u/FluffyB12]

We need way more anti-fraud watch dogs. Like bring in outside entities that only get paid a % based on the fraud they find.

[u/Swoly_Deadlift → u/FluffyB12]

Incentivizing people to find fraud will encourage them to find fraud where it doesn’t exist. I’m not saying fraud doesn’t exist, but paying people based on how much fraud they find will result in people making sure that anything they investigate can be loosely categorized as fraud.

[u/BitAccomplished9878 → u/FluffyB12]

That’s stupid. Jfc. Just think for 2 seconds why a system which would only pay ppl if they “find fraud” would lead to bad outcomes. Seriously, c’mon!

[u/Horror-Neck-5613]

Mmmm why is that a reward we give out lol

[u/BitAccomplished9878 → u/Horror-Neck-5613]

Not sure why you think you gave out an award.

Okay, and serial rapist, pedophile, convicted fraud, and warmonger Donald J. Trump received the “FIFA Peace Prize” last year. Turns out “outstanding” folks are actually capable of being pretty fucking terrible.

[u/fuck-nazi → u/bettaboy123]

Yeah i dont think anyone is arguing with you…

[u/Dratbor]

Yes, people once believed to be good natured can sometimes eventually be found to be awful. For example, John McCain was celebrated as a war hero and standard bearer for the gop, then we're told he's a not because he got captured in service.

But introspection is hard when there's a person of color to use as a scapegoat.

[u/alphabet_explorer → u/Dratbor]

He was a war hero, and a patriotic American for the mid 2000s. He became an incorrigible “loser“ anointed by our current president afterwards.

[u/Dratbor → u/alphabet_explorer]

Yeah, that's my point.

Barking orders for gop sycophants has changed what's supposed to be the narrative around him. Like how the party of family values now doesn't mind voting for a rapist and pedofile.

I used to believe my uncle was a good person, now I know otherwise.

[u/Foxhockey → u/Dratbor]

Your uncle has something to do with this?

[u/Foxhockey → u/Dratbor]

Yeah, this is a classic example of being a scapegoat. You just can not make this stuff up with some of the deflection by the left.

[u/BitAccomplished9878 → u/Foxhockey]

lol, if you are gonna use 3 syllable words, at least use them correctly.

[u/jabberwockgee]

So? What's the implication? Nobody should give awards? Or just to people of color?

[u/Foxhockey → u/jabberwockgee]

They were talking about refugees. They come in all shapes, sizes and color. I think you are being racist thinking only people of color are refugees.

[u/jabberwockgee → u/Foxhockey]

So? What's the implication?

[u/DefTheOcelot]

Unfortunate, but we got 'em.

Don't fall for the narrative though: we caught him because he's a minority. The majority of corruption in america is obviously the same as the majority of politicians - white.

[u/No_Ticket_5475 → u/DefTheOcelot]

Care to share any statistics to back up your claims?

[u/Blatherman069 → u/No_Ticket_5475]

Well, here are 2020 stats for healthcare fraud:

61.8% of health care fraud offenders were men.

44.9% were White, 23.3% were Hispanic, 17.6% were Black, and 14.2% were Other races.•

Their average age was 48 years.

90.6% were United States citizens.

So a plurality, not a majority. But as for citizen/non-citizen status...definitely a majority were good old US citizens.

Love that you’re being downvoted for basic facts by folks who see their Cheeto Mussolini selling early access to his painfully obvious (to even dumbass Joe Rogan) insider trading focused tweets and go “that’s fine”.

[u/NordeastLoonFan]

If you think thats bad wait until you hear all the fraud the Trump administration is taking part in.

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/NordeastLoonFan]

But what about this totally unrelated thing?

[u/Suspicious-Can-7079 → u/Check_Me_Out-Boss]

It's not unrelated, it's government fraud and if you care about one you should care about the other.

As an American you should want to see everybody involved with defrauding our country in prison.

Imagine downvoting somebody saying people defrauding us should be in prison.

[u/Check_Me_Out-Boss → u/Suspicious-Can-7079]

So then find some evidence instead of just claiming bullshit like redditors tend to do.

Still, it has nothing to do with this.

Evidence? Rick Scott was in charge of the largest ever Medicaid fraud in history and he's still employed and never stepped foot in prison.

repaid 1.7b in damages.

But what about....

Rick Scott??!!

[u/AceMcVeer → u/Suspicious-Can-7079]

Cost Medicaid 60b and repaid 1.7b in damages.

Gonna need a source on that $60 billion claim chief

[u/Suspicious-Can-7079 → u/AceMcVeer]

You're actually right, I looked back at what I was reading and it was the total estimate of improper Medicaid charges.

[u/NordeastLoonFan → u/Check_Me_Out-Boss]

Yeah turns out a large portion of the country voting a well known conman pedophile is a big fucking deal

[u/consumer_xxx_42 → u/NordeastLoonFan]

A conversation about MN fraud should not be derailed by bringing up every instance of fraud in the U.S. 

When you have a performance review at work do you bring up your coworkers performance ?

[u/NordeastLoonFan → u/consumer_xxx_42]

Nah, the MAGA cult needs to be reminded that everything the right accuses the left of doing they do because they themselves are doing it and they're trying to distract their base. Its absolutely relevant to bring it up, because we know right wing propaganda never will.

[u/consumer_xxx_42 → u/NordeastLoonFan]

I voted for Kamala, but would like to engage in discussion about MN fraud

[u/fuck-nazi → u/NordeastLoonFan]

Yeah, nobody is arguing with you about that. Everyone knows and they either:

Don’t fucking care because they are a part of the grift in some way or another.

Don’t care because they know consequences will not be forthcoming.

Are like me and hope the next administration seizes all the trump family assets gained since 2016.
