Statement from FBI Director Patel on the Creation of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List and Ohio Healthcare Fraud Announcement
June 4, 2026 - Statement from FBI Director Kash Patel on the creation of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list and Ohio healthcare fraud announcement:
“Today’s takedown of multiple healthcare companies, and four individuals, who allegedly robbed taxpayer-funded Medicaid, is the latest victory in the Trump administration’s total war on fraudsters,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Together with our interagency partners, we seized seven bank accounts worth $600,000 and 14 vehicles worth millions—all of which allegedly came as direct proceeds from robbing value community healthcare resources from Americans who needed it—many of which were Medicaid-enrolled children. Furthermore, today we are launching the vice president’s historic initiative of the 'Most Wanted Fraudsters' list, representing some of the alleged worst of the worst who stole millions in taxpayer money—allowing federal law enforcement to mobilize the full weight of law enforcement to bring these individuals and more to justice. I want to thank Vice President Vance for his leadership of this task force, our interagency partners for their relentless work, and, most importantly, thank President Trump for showing America that fraud won’t be tolerated in this country any longer.”
