Corruption in America. What else is new? Oh yeah, the miners are now free, and that's good news. Thank God. And, as for the thieves that have milked the health care system, all I have to say to them is shame on you. I guess they'll be rooming in with Rober Rizzo, Bell's ex-con.

[RobbingTaxpayers]

Has anyone noticed that most of them are most likely Armenian or Iranian? Makes you wonder how so many own BMWs and Mercedez Benz...THESE ARE YOUR TAXES PEOPLE!!

[Scum Bags]

The people that do these Medicare and Insurance crimes are always from those freakin' third world countries!

Every one of those slime balls needs to be deported back to their crummy country! But first, make them serve 50 years in San Quentin.

[Dametrius Latrel Williams]

I feel sorry for the good people of Glendale.

Get rid of all those slime-ball stinkin Armenians, and let us brothers move in there!

The insane amount of wasted welfare dollars due to fraud is Obama's dirty little secret that he and state politicians won't address. There's plenty of money to mitigate the minority housing meltdown, if we just address the outrageous amount of fraud going on in assorted welfare programs.
The idea of welfare is to keep people off the streets and to allow them half-decent living conditions while they look for a job. Not to supplement their income so they can buy a Beemer instead of a used Chevy. It was certainly not intended to pay for anchor babies from foreign countries. The government was intended to maintain our infrastructure, fill potholes, keep trees trimmed. It was never intended for half-baked "social engineering" projects that have cost this country dearly in lost revenue, wasted spending.
For most working americans, over 50% of their income goes to taxes. That's just not right, and Obama and his democratic cronies are going to steal even more of your money.

armenians and fraud??? is that news to anyone? lol

[Doug]

What what a surprise, Armenian pieces of crap. They are all trash and do everything to cheat the system.

[Armenian Pigs]

Two things you know about Armenia. One, the Turkish genocide of Armenians, ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. Two, Arrogant, RUDE, worst drivers in HISTORY, and they add a new depth and awe to the word FRAUD. MAFIOSI are in awe of their talents.And the other ARMENIANS, say nothing, cover for them, and call you racist if you mention "IT". And the women need to shave,ALOT!

Hum, common theme is these names:

The locally charged defendants are:

Pogos Satamyan, of Glendale;

Vachagan Dishchian, 34, of Van Nuys;

Vahe Dischian, 36, of Van Nuys;

Andranik Satamyan, 20, of Glendale;

Haroutyoun Dischian, 62, of Van Nuys;

Grisha Sayadyan, 59, of Glendale; and

Allen Sayadyan, 30, of Glendale.

Those being sought are: Nicolae Candu, 24; Vitalina Shcherbyak, 24; and Nikolay Agishev, 24.

There need to be a federal law that stipulates any form that is requesting funding and has an Armenian name on it,..,.,is rejected! Bunch of crooks!

[HUERO]

This stuff happens all the time,but we don't hear about it to much.
but if you hear of a Mexican "Jay walking" (being funny) its all over the news for days, I work in Glendale and see these kind fraud(s) all the time driving high end cars name brand apparel and collecting welfare,housing,state funds from tax payers.

People stop going to Armenian or Persian or Arab businesses! They lead a dishonest life. support local American, Black and Hispanic owned businesses. We contribute to the economy but the mid-easterners cheat the system! They lie about taxes and rip off honest people. And when it comes to them paying up, they dispute credit card charges, write you phony checks, and always are bargaining your prices.

And this has to do with Medicare fraud in what way?

Just another rabid dog barking at cars driving by.

Wow, thanks for these links.

Press Telegram, your coverage is deficient in comparison. This giant fraud was conducted by an Armenian crime family. Most of the participants are immigrants and Armenian nationals -- not U.S. citizens. It's the largest Medicare fraud in history, and PT mentioned none of this.

Finally we found out how they pay for their Mercedez' and BMW's.
They have been exposed like kicking up a big rock and all of the bugs scurry away, running and hiding.

Maybe the word is out to Armenians that they are catching up to all the fraud. Hopefully they will all pack up and move to Nebraska and they can "fraud" there, then go from state to state. Like a band of gypsies, which is what they really are.
