Everybody’s focused on the Somalis committing fraud in Minnesota. Sure, find them, prosecute them, and DEPORT them if we can. But they’re just a SMALL part of this scandal. What about the system that ALLOWED this theft to happen? I want to see investigations into: -State and local government chokepoints -Program directors/division directors overseeing child nutrition, daycare reimbursement, or grant administration -Payment approval managers and supervisors (the people who can override “holds” and approve exceptions) -Contract/grant officers and their supervising chain -Internal audit leadership assigned to the relevant agencies -Compliance/integrity units inside the administering agency (or equivalent “program integrity” office) -Agency general counsel/legal review staff involved in escalations -State finance/budget oversight personnel who would see abnormal burn rates and concentrations -Inspector General–type oversight functions (or equivalent state watchdog/audit bodies) -Federal funding and oversight interfaces -USDA program oversight and compliance liaisons tied to the funded program streams (where applicable) -Federal and state coordination points responsible for responding to audit findings or “corrective action plans” -Banking and financial compliance chokepoints -Branch managers and regional operations managers where high-volume cash activity occurred -Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/AML investigators assigned to the accounts -SAR review committees/AML governance groups -Senior compliance leadership (regional and enterprise) -Bank legal/risk officers approving continued customer relationships despite repeated alerts -Correspondent banking/wire-risk teams if money moved internationally or through high-risk corridors -Cash movement/airport and security chokepoints -TSA supervisory chain responsible for pattern escalation -Airport security operations management (pattern recognition, incident reporting) Any joint task-force liaison roles that interface with repeated cash-movement indicators -CBP currency reporting enforcement (for outbound international cash declaration compliance, if applicable) -Prosecutorial and investigative chokepoints -Agency investigators who documented early red flags -Supervisors who decided whether to refer, escalate, or pause payments -Any task-force leadership coordinating multi-agency response timelines (especially if delays were systemic) CC: @FBIDirectorKash @AGPamBondi @SecScottBessent
