Ep. 280: Maple Grove homeowner says Somali neighbors bragged about profits from Medicaid businesses

Anthony Sinople joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He’s a Maple Grove resident who lives in the Evanswood neighborhood, which includes more than 200 homes with prices advertised from $600,000 to more than $1 million.
Sinople and several others in Evanswood who reached out to Alpha News are concerned about ties to potential fraud. They say there are dozens of businesses—from group homes, to daycares, to foster homes—that can be traced to Somali homeowners.
“Members of the East African community started to open up to me about what exactly was occurring and started to describe these plans … and how they would be able to make $10,000 to $24,000 a month per person for setting up these group homes,” said Sinople.
“Then I started to receive offers that if I would purchase homes in the community under my name, they would be sponsoring these types of housing stabilization programs at these houses,” he added.
