Overview
- Anwar Ahmed Adow pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud for falsified billing tied to Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services program.
- Court records say he told Liberty Plus LLC employees to “bill as much as they could” and not scrutinize hours, inflating claims for about 200 clients.
- Liberty Plus received more than $1.2 million in Medicaid reimbursements, which Adow admitted diverting to co‑conspirators and luxury spending including a 2023 Mercedes‑Benz lease.
- Adow is the first conviction among eight defendants charged in September, and prosecutors say more cases are expected in successive waves.
- State officials are working to terminate the housing benefit after rapid spending growth and minimal safeguards that prosecutors say enabled fraud.
