Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that Somalis who move to the U.S. must not defraud the American people. The Treasury is investigating a billion-dollar fraud scheme carried out by dozens of Minnesota residents of Somali descent. Many individuals who committed the fraud donated stolen tax dollars to Minnesota political figures. Funds were sent through Money Bureau Services, wire-transfer organizations outside the regulated banking system, and moved overseas to the Middle East and Somalia. The IRS Criminal Investigation Unit discovered the fraud, and the Treasury opened an investigation into potential uses of the funds, including possible terrorism links, with no evidence found yet.
