FBI surges resources to Minnesota as Patel calls $250M fraud scheme 'tip of iceberg'

The case has already resulted in 78 indictments and 57 convictions, with prosecutors also charging defendants in a separate plot to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash, Patel said, adding that the investigation remains ongoing.

"The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing," he wrote on X. "Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible."
