$225M Fraud Schemes Found in US Schools

$225M Fraud Schemes Found in US Schools

A report alleges that US schools have been embroiled in $225,000,000 worth of fraud schemes, including embezzlement, fake invoices, and bid-rigging, as detailed in an article found on the Western Journal. The schemes, which also involve lying about student enrollment numbers to collect more aid, were uncovered by the Office of the Inspector General, a government watchdog that has also been investigating other cases of fraud and mismanagement, such as the Pentagon's newest ammo plant which has yet to begin production.
