From the Las Vegas Sun:
A Las Vegas man has been sentenced to three to 10 years behind bars after prosecutors say he bilked Medicaid out of about $2 million and spent more than $100,000 of it at bars and clubs.
Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced the sentence against 34-year-old Ini Odong on Tuesday.
A jury found Odong guilty of charges including submitting false Medicaid claims, theft, and intentionally failing to maintain adequate records.
Investigators say Odong used another person's name to establish a company called Golden Heart Medical Supply, and billed Medicaid on behalf of non-existent clients.
Prosecutors say Odong withdrew about $300,000 in cash and spent more than $100,000 at bars and clubs using company account cards.

ReplyDeleteOh, I don't think you'll find many liberals who'd say there's no waste or fraud in government programs. In fact, most liberals would tell you the first "cuts" to programs should be isolating cases of waste, fraud and abuse. So, that's a little bit of a straw man you've got there, Dan.
