WASHINGTON (TND) — Top-line estimates of COVID-19 aid fraud are now at $1 trillion, according to LexisNexis Risk Management, making it the largest public fraud in history.
CEO of Open the Books Adam Andrezejewski joined The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue.
“It’s been four years since the pandemic started and still the federal government hasn't given us a top-line estimate. Their estimate of the total fraud,” he said. So that's left it to third-party organizations like LexisNexis to come up with an estimate.”
