New Somali Scams emerge
And just when it looked like the Somali fraud story had peaked with food programs, Medicaid scams, and sham daycare centers, a new layer has just cracked open. And this one might be even worse…
It turns out the scam has spread like a cancer. And the more you follow the money, the uglier it gets.
New reporting shows that dozens of Somali-owned transportation companies have been collecting government funds while literally transporting no one. They are nonexistent operations. According to investigator David Hoch, entire transportation outfits only exist on paper. He visited around seventy of them and found nothing, nada, zilch. No offices, vehicles, or business activity at all.
And when you connect transportation fraud to interpreter services, the scam actually gets even bigger. Hoch says that when Somali patients go to the doctor, they suddenly “forget” how to speak English, triggering the use of these paid interpreters.
And those interpreters bill around one hundred bucks an hour. But wait, there’s more. The interpreters also need transportation, and so do the patients. Round trip… appointment after appointment. And all of it is billed to the government.
Almost nine hundred transportation companies are Somali-owned. Nick Shirley and David Hoch physically checked dozens of them, and they don’t exist. They’re fake.
vernment funds — while transporting NO ONE.
David Hoch visited 70 of them, and he was stunned to discover that they “DON’T EXIST.”
And when you add interpreters for doctors’ appointments to the mix, the money being sucked out of the system adds up quickly.
Hoch explains:
“When a Somali goes to the doctor, magically they forgot how to speak English, so they need an interpreter there. So the county brings in an interpreter at $100 an hour, minimum eight hours, to interpret what the doctor is telling the patient.”
“Then remember, the interpreter has to get to the doctor’s office or the hospital. How are they getting there? The transportation company. And then they’ve got to get back home, and that patient has to get to the doctor’s office. How? Transportation.”
“Almost 900 of [the transportation companies] are Somali-owned… Nick Shirley and I went to 16 of them. I’ve actually been to about 70 of them. They don’t exist.”

This is why the Left tried so hard to change the subject. The Renee Good story could distract from the current fraud and the new stuff too. But it didn’t work. You can’t put all your eggs in a lesbian basket and think it’ll save you.
