In California, it is mostly Eastern Europeans who run these scams - they are reported in our local paper ONLY. Once they figure out the feds are after them, they retreat to the “old country” which has no extradition policy with the U.S.

One I remember one involved a sophisticated medicare scam - the scammers had their own doctors, medical supply company, agents, etc., all up and down the food chain, top to bottom. Took the feds two years to figure it all out - after tens of millions of dollars had been stolen from the system. Caught a few, others escaped. I’ve heard same with insurance fraud.

Another one involved an Iranian who leased out at least 20, new, high-end cars “for his business” - he sold all of the cars and then fled to Iran with the cash. Good luck bringing that guy to justice.

Yep. We had another Muslim tire shop owner who was also scamming and sending g the money back to his country. His comercials were all over tv, and he was a major tire supplier in our area. He did get caught and convicted thankfully, but some of the folks who did business with him who learned about what he had done were shocked, as they knew him “as a nice guy” and couldn’t understand how he did what he did.

A survey was taken of Muslims once which asked which nation they felt subject too, and about 1/2 responded their nation of origin and not the us. Th3 number was likely higher, because in their religion, they beleive its a-ok to “lie to Infidels” - there’s a term for it too.
