Serial killers receive pandemic aid in 'biggest fraud' in California history

Quote
Investigators alerted to reports of illegal unemployment claims made from prisons under Covid-19 relief schemes discovered tens of thousands filed in the name of inmates, Sacramento County district attorney Anne Marie Schubert told a press conference.

"Hundreds of millions of dollars - that may well amount to upwards of a billion dollars - having already been paid in their names... it will be one of the biggest fraud of taxpayer dollars in California history," warned Schubert, who is chairing a taskforce into the "behemoth" scheme.

A confirmed figure of $140 million already paid to 20,000 inmates is merely a "snapshot" based on state prison data for March to August, with the true cost of the fraud potentially many times higher.

BigGov is doing such a great job we need more of it.
