Secretary Besant will be traveling there later this week to talk about the fraud and to do a roundtable on this very topic. And I would just like to leave you with an update. To date, The Department of justice has charged 98 total defendants in several Medicaid fraud and related case programs. 64 were convicted and 85 of the 98 charged were of Somali descent. The DOJ has also issued over 17,000 1700 sepulchre subpoenas, executed over 130 search warrants and they have now added more attorneys to their office there to absorb the case flow. (1:28:53–1:29:01)
