A Minnesota man, Salman Elmi, faces massive Medicaid fraud charges for allegedly orchestrating a $4.5 million scheme with three others, exploiting vulnerable homeless women by using their identities to rent apartments and force them into sex-for-pay operations dating back to 2019.

Arrested and released after surrendering his passport, he’s set for court on October 4th, while authorities warn this may be just the tip of a widespread problem.
