One TRILLION American taxpayer dollars were stolen during the pandemic & 70% of that money went overseas.
The extent of this Govt corruption is endless!!👇🏻
Mr. Cloud: We have an internal threat, but you also mentioned transnational fraud rings, terrorist organizations, nation-states, North Korea nuclear weapons programs funded by our tax dollars, China, Nigeria, Iran, Romania, Russia – not our friends necessarily – that are being funded by taxpayer dollars. Could you give us some examples of how this is happening?
Mr. Talcove: Yeah, so when you think about what happened during the pandemic, one trillion dollars was stolen. Seventy percent of that money went overseas. And I can give you some examples. In a western state, they had more people applying for unemployment insurance benefits than they had individuals over 18. The people that were stealing the money from Romania were using it to facilitate other fraud schemes that include fentanyl, that include doing things to impact our democracy. On the insider threat, right, the first thing you have to say - and my dad was a public servant - is 99% of people that work in the public sector are honest, hardworking individuals. But there are some. And what you need is data and technology to root that out. There were examples during the pandemic, there were some examples even of last week, where people got into the Medicaid system in a western state and stole 50 million dollars in less than four months. So you have to have these controls in place, right? These aren’t individuals stealing, Mr. Cloud, these are organized criminal groups, both domestic and transnational.
