Whistleblower Claims Massive Somali Medicaid Fraud Scheme Happening in the State of Maine
By An Old Piece Of Leather
When it comes to allegations of Somali fraud, it appears that the state of Minnesota is not alone.
A whistleblower who used to work with an organization that partners with the state of Maine, is now claiming that there is another massive Medicaid scheme taking place in the state of Maine.
The city of Lewiston, Maine has been a destination for Somali migrants for years, much like Minneapolis.
This just reinforces the idea that more investigation is needed.
Maine Medicaid contractor denies fraud allegations; records contradict defense.
A Maine health services contractor facing fraud allegations from a whistleblower denied the claims and said the former employee never raised concerns during his employment, but records show his manager documented him flagging fraudulent billing.
Gateway Community Services, a Somali American-led organization, issued a press release stating: “These allegations are false. Gateway Community Services maintains strict billing, documentation, and compliance protocols and has cooperated with state oversight agencies.”
The organization said Christopher Bernardini, who spent seven years working for Gateway, “at no point during his employment did he raise any concerns—formal or informal—related to inaccurate billing, fraud, or impropriety.”…
Bernardini alleges Gateway oversaw a system in which false records were filed about client visits and charged taxpayers for services never provided.
“We started getting some clients calling and saying months later that their client owed them hours. They hadn’t come in for these shifts and stuff. But I had a time card for it,” Bernardini told NewsNation. When asked if what he witnessed was fraud, he responded, “Absolutely. No doubt about it.”
Local and national Republicans are calling for an investigation into organizations that work with immigrants and receive federal Medicaid funding.
At the same time, 8 Investigates has learned that a Lewiston nonprofit called Gateway Community Services, which provides these services, will be part of the state audit this year, amid ongoing questions about its finances.
8 Investigates has received documentation showing that between 2015 and 2018, the state overpaid the nonprofit $662,608. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services said this is a result of two multi-year audits of Gateway Community Services after investigating tens of thousands of billing claims across multiple service categories. There was another audit done at Gateway that was completed in 2024, which is currently in the appeal process. Both audits were done as a result of complaints, according to DHHS.
It seems like this Somali fraud issue is more widespread than the media is reporting.
The Somali criminal enterprise is much more sinister and covert than is realized.
The Ilhan Omar case runs much, much deeper than most are aware of.
Her father, an extremely corrupt former general, was guilty of murdering over 100,000 Somalis of a minority clan. Apparently Omars’ family had to flee. It’s too bad they weren’t apprehended before the little sociopath landed in Minnesota.
The Minnesota state Asst. AG today stated the fraud is on an industrial scale.
Tom Homan has his work cut out for him.
The obvious, intentional neglect that this criminal activity has been so active is mind-blowing.
Lock them up and kick them out of our nation.
We don’t want to keep them furnished with three hots and a cot.
We want them GONE.
This is how the animals repay our country for giving their country aid when hundreds of thousands were starving… and that wasn’t that long ago.
God will punish our enemies. We will arrange the meetings.
Nothing Can Stop What Is Happening

Every one of the illegals or those connected to any part of fraud need to be loaded on planes immediately and dumped back in Somalia MINUS any funds in bank accounts or any other assets, including housing.
It is so disheartening to see what is happening to Mainers in their beautiful state. Time for them to wake up, rise up, and take action. The legislature in Augusta is found wanting. The governor Janet Mills is another Hillary Clinton. The Maniacs need to hear the horn and do something about it.
Such a horrible problem for a beautiful state. I have also read some articles where large empty houses in Maine have been made into drug houses. Whether they were honestly bought or not remains to be found.
I hope someone looks into these two problems.
i live in Minnesota, it’s so bad. I have heard up to $18 BILLION!!!!
yes, deport the Somali’s… i know some personally as i work in commercial real estate and lease space to them… and absolutely know what they are doing within those walls is pure corruption and illegal. not good. unfortunately our voting system is RIGGED.
i have no doubt in my mind what will happen to Timmy Tampon when this is over. it won’t be for everybody (to watch), but i can’t wait.
As long as it is JUSTICE that happens to TT…….leave revenge to God……
