The fraud I witnessed while producing this story was so blatant that it is unbelievable no other journalist had already reported on it
In Lawrence, Massachusetts, where this fraud was discovered, blue shipping barrels can be seen for sale on every street. It is impossible to miss.
These barrels are used to ship food, purchased with EBT and collected from charities, back to the Dominican Republic.
In the same city, you can witness Dominican shipping companies picking up food from homes on a daily basis.
The only way it would make economic sense to ship food from Lawrence, Massachusetts, to the Dominican Republic, is if the food was obtained for free.
The whistleblowers we worked with also informed us that there is housing fraud taking place, where Dominicans, who are receiving housing aid, rent out the same houses that they are getting via government assistance, while they live in the Dominican Republic.
If the current administration is serious about stopping fraud, this matter must be immediately investigated.

MASSIVE EBT & CHARITY FRAUD EXPOSED: Immigrants Are Openly Buying Food with Food Stamps and Collecting It from Charities, Then Shipping It Overseas to Sell for Profit
In Lawrence, Massachusetts, a whistleblower revealed a welfare scam that the Dominican community has been running for over a decade.
Here is how it works: Dominican immigrants buy food with EBT cards or take it for free from food banks. They then load it into shipping barrels and send it to the Dominican Republic, where it is sold for profit in local bodegas.
We tracked the entire pipeline, from corner stores in Massachusetts to shipping hubs in New York to bodegas in Santo Domingo that are stocked with food paid for by the American taxpayer.
We are prepared to share our findings with any legitimate investigative body.
