Minnesota Housing Fraud Conviction | Fargo News

A Minnesota healthcare fraud ring just took a major hit: 32-year-old Muhammad Abdulqadir Omar pleaded guilty to conspiring to bilk Medicaid out of $3.7 million by faking client records and billing for nonexistent services — including for dead people. His dramatic escape attempt from FBI agents — a fourth-floor balcony jump that broke his leg — only added to his notoriety. Prosecutors say he funneled millions to luxury real estate in Kenya as the probe intensified. This guilty plea is part of a sprawling crackdown that’s already led to multiple convictions, legislative hearings, and the shutdown of Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services program. Sentencing is pending. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
