Janeen Balsimo, a retired Minnesota state employee, spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about what she believes to be yet another kind of Somali fraud involving workers' comp cases and “fake employees” with “fake injuries.”
She explained how "it seemed like 50% of my work comp cases … were Somali cases” — and how up to $150,000 was awarded for injuries.
Balsimo said that it wasn't until watching Nick Shirley's viral video that she recognized some familiar business names while working in the tort recovery unit for the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
“I thought about it, I thought, wow, so the fraud went as far as the employee was a fake employee, probably with fake injuries, because there is no people at these places,” she said.
