Medicaid Fraud in Flushing Exposed | Venice Beach News

Independent journalist Nick Shirley uncovers a staggering Medicaid fraud ring in Flushing, Queens, where adult daycares and pharmacies allegedly bilked the government of over $190 million through fake claims and cash kickbacks to seniors. Tied to organized crime—specifically Korean and Chinese mafias—this operation exploits vulnerable elderly by paying them $100 for referrals, creating a vicious cycle of fraud. Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Shirley in confronting suspects, who showed little accountability. This mirrors a 2026 federal case in the same area, hinting at a systemic problem. While investigations continue, Shirley’s exposé underscores the urgent need to protect seniors and hold these schemes accountable.
