So, About Those MN Somalis Who Assaulted Nick Sortor and Took His Camera ... Just GUESS Where They Work
Nick Sortor has been on the ground in Minneapolis reporting on the insanity there for quite a while now, and no matter how many times he's attacked, he stays because, like us, he realizes the mainstream media will not report the truth about what is happening there.
They robbed him this time.

So, originally, there was a post above Sortor's that gave the information on the license plate and individuals who appear to have assaulted and robbed Sortor, but X has since removed it and claimed it went against X's rules.

AI Overview
Recent investigations in Minnesota have uncovered massive, multi-million dollar fraud schemes targeting state-funded autism services (EIDBI - Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention). These investigations, which stem from the broader "Feeding Our Future" scandal, have led to federal charges against several individuals, with prosecutors estimating the total fraud could exceed $1 billion across various programs
.
Key Aspects of the Minnesota Autism Fraud Scheme
Massive Overbilling & Fictitious Services: Providers are accused of billing for intensive autism therapy services that were never provided, or were provided by unqualified individuals.
"Recruiting" and Bribing Parents: Operators allegedly bribed parents to enroll their children in centers, with some children allegedly not having autism, while others were brought to centers simply to facilitate billing.
Kickbacks and Fraudulent Billing: Owners reportedly paid kickbacks to families to keep them in their programs and used transportation drivers—who were also on the center's payroll—to transport children, billing the state for these services as well.
$14 Million Scheme (Smart Therapy): Asha Farhan Hassan, owner of Smart Therapy, was charged and pleaded guilty to a $14 million Medicaid fraud scheme. She was also implicated in the "Feeding Our Future" scheme.
Connection to Other Frauds: Many involved in the autism fraud were previously tied to the $250 million "Feeding Our Future" food aid program, indicating a network of individuals exploiting multiple government systems.
Impact on the System
Rapid Growth and Lack of Oversight: Funding for Minnesota autism centers increased from roughly $2.2 million in 2018 to $228 million in 2024, with the number of providers jumping from 41 to 439.
