据联邦检察官称,一个涉及海地国民的波士顿地区SNAP欺诈团伙据称通过一个假企业和被窃身份网络偷走了700万美元的福利。 A Boston-area SNAP fraud ring involving Haitian nationals allegedly stole $7 million in benefits through a network of fake businesses and stolen identities, according to federal prosecutors. 2024年后期发现的这一计划涉及使用欺诈性的EBT卡兑现福利,并通过货币服务转移资金。 The scheme, uncovered in late 2024, involved cashing out benefits using fraudulent EBT cards and transferring funds through money services. 当局说这次行动组织严密,包括多人,其中一些人已被逮捕。 Authorities say the operation was highly organized and included multiple individuals, some of whom were arrested. 此案凸显了对身份盗窃和利益欺诈的日益关切,尽管官员强调这并非海地移民中更广泛的模式。 The case highlights growing concerns over identity theft and benefit fraud, though officials stress it does not represent a broader pattern among Haitian immigrants.
