#new Major Medicare Fraud in Ohio in home health scams by Somali migrants including $250 million stolen in 6 years by one landlord operating 288 companies in 7 dilapidated buildings #Ohio The New Jersey landlord billed Medicaid over $250 million from 2018 to 2024 for so-called “personal services” like making beds and chatting with family members while the offices sat empty with stray cats in the parking lots and “on break” signs on the doors. #newjersey The two month investigation by Luke Rosiak (backed by DOGE data) revealed: Massive complexes owned by Cordoba Real Estate are where the fraudulent businesses operate. The buildings look abandoned with open front doors, chirping smoke detectors, piles of unopened mail, and no signs of real business activity. But the government keeps giving them money. One landlord alone owns all seven buildings with 288 Medicaid-registered firms that billed more than $250 million to Medicaid plus another $23 million from Ohio taxpayers in some cases. #columbus Most of the company owners and operators have foreign names that appear Somali, M*slim or Indian: #muslim 🔷️Dequa Mohamed (Continental Home Health Care, Inc., $15 million billed), 🔷️Said Ahmed (Dynamic Home Health Care, $10 million), 🔷️Mohamud A.
