MUCH MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: RFK Jr. announces largest autism fraud bust in history.

Kennedy highlighted that the original cost of the Early Intervention Development Program was a mere $38.1 million in 2020, but that it had ballooned to $442 million in 2026, with much of that increase stemming from fraud.

“Today’s arrests represent the largest autism fraud bust in American history,” he said. “This was an organized theft that exploited the most vulnerable, deceived families, stole taxpayer dollars meant to help children with autism access legitimate care and support.”

“Investigators uncovered brazen schemes that billed taxpayers for nonexistent services, fraudulent diagnoses, and fake care while criminals enriched themselves at public expense,” he added.

The bust came as part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to crack down on public fraud across the nation.

Just get the feds out of “helping” in state and local matters. That much money in one place always invites fraud, and except when Trump 47 is around, seemingly zero supervision.
