ublished September 19, 2025, 7:39 pm CDT – MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Federal prosecutors say eight suspects siphoned more than $8 million in stolen tax dollars, using the funds to buy Kenyan real‑estate, lease apartments in Roseville, and purchase luxury cars. Four defendants each pocketed up to $400 000 and charged a joint American Express card nearly $500 000. One suspect invested in Kenyan property and leased a BMW; another leased a Mercedes and made other investments. The defendants—Moktar Hassan Aden (30), Mustafa Dayib Ali (29), Khalid Ahmed Dayib (26), Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed (27), Christopher Adesoji Falade (62), Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade (32), Asad Ahmed Adow (26) and Anwar Ahmed Adow (25)—were all charged with wire fraud. The scheme involved four companies: Brilliant Minds Services LLC (St. Paul), Leo Human Services LLC (Brooklyn Park), Faladcare Inc. (St. Paul) and Liberty Plus LLC (Roseville).
The FBI conducted raids on more than six homes and businesses on July 16, uncovering that Medicaid had paid millions for unrendered services. Housing Stabilization Services, a 2020 program covering housing for vulnerable adults, was found to be highly susceptible to fraud. Court filings show 14 providers collected $22 million over 16 months, while the program cost taxpayers $302 million in five years—most claims were fraudulent. The state shut the program down in August, shortly after the raids. Prosecutors say the investigation continues and additional charges are expected.
