Four Minnesota men have pleaded guilty to stealing approximately $2.2 million from a Medicaid program meant to help people with disabilities find and keep housing, and to covering it up with documents generated by artificial intelligence when insurance companies asked for proof the services happened.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Moktar Hassan Aden, 31, Mustafa Dayib Ali, 29, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, 26, and Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, 27, all from the Twin Cities area, set up a company called Brilliant Minds Services LLC in the Griggs-Midway Building in St. Paul and enrolled it as a Medicaid provider.
