Two men have pleaded guilty in a shocking fraud scheme that crippled Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services program, which was shut down after losing millions to fake billing and inflated claims. The duo, Mustafa Dayib and Abdulbasit Ibrahim, conspired to defraud the system by submitting bogus service charges totaling $2.25 million — a fraction of the program’s $74 million in 2023 payouts and $104 million in 2024. Their company, Brilliant Minds Services LLC, allegedly targeted vulnerable residents while prosecutors uncover a broader network of eight federal charges. The state’s Department of Human Services halted the program in October, and now these convictions signal a critical step toward justice for a system meant to uplift those in need.
