A second Democrat-run state has been hit by accusations of fraud within the Somali community, prompting a vile response from one lawmaker who was quizzed about it by a constituent.
As Minnesota grapples with one of the biggest fraud scandals in US history, a whistleblower in Maine has now stepped forward alleging state taxpayers have been defrauded out of funds meant for social services.
Christopher Bernardini told NewsNation he worked as a ‘billing guru’ for Portland-based Gateway Community Services for seven years until April 2025 – while they were allegedly defrauding Maine’s Medicaid program.
The company’s founder and CEO, Abdullahi Ali, is a Somali-American who ran for president of Jubaland, a state in Somalia, last year while juggling his role as executive director.
He came under fire at the time amid reports from The Maine Wire that he had boasted of funding the militia to ‘help the troops buy weapons, bullets and food’ while he was in America.
The comments sparked concerns about whether any of the $28.8million in payments his LLC received via MaineCare had been misappropriated.
The Daily Mail has contacted Gateway Community Services for comment.
Good article, well-worth reading in full.
Maine appears to be one of the most corrupt states in USA.
With a population of a mere 1.3 million, billion dollar plus fraud is major crime, with tendrils running throughout the state government.
Vote fraud, woke fraud, payola fraud to friends and relatives, constant lies and coverups — Maine appears to have it all, including a complicit news media who have actually been paid by the Mills administration to supposedly do public outreach or something but in reality have chosen to not report on any of this fraud, and never run a story critical of Maine Dems.
Traditional Maine culture is high-trust, mild-mannered, kind and honorable.
Foreign and political scam artists have exploited it to the max.
The state is in such bad shape only the federal government can save it. There is no political, judicial, legal, or journalistic entity within the state strong enough to fix the state. ABN
