In this episode of Fraud in the Office, Matthew and Mark, aka the Fraud Bros, examine a major SNAP fraud case involving millions in stolen food assistance benefits.
They break down how food stamp trafficking works, why outdated EBT technology makes programs vulnerable, and how weak oversight allows organized fraud to thrive. The conversation highlights the need for modernization, accountability, and smarter controls to protect both taxpayers and those who rely on critical government assistance.

In this week's episode, Matthew and Mark dive into a shocking wave of new fraud stories that all hit the headlines this week—and every one of them exposes the same weak points: identity, responsibility, and accountability.

We break down the latest GAO report revealing massive vulnerabilities in Obamacare Marketplace plans—fake identities getting approved, stolen Social Security numbers used in dozens of applications, brokers making unauthorized changes, and taxpayers footing the bill for millions in bogus subsidies. Then we travel to Minnesota, where Medicaid and COVID-era relief fraud has surged past the $1 billion mark, with new cases showing how nonprofits, brokers, and even ghost companies exploited programs designed to help real families.

And yes… in case you missed it, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just announced their upcoming wedding. The tabloids call it the love story of the decade—but the Fraud Bros ask:
“Is it romance… or the greatest marketing campaign ever conceived?”

As always, we connect the thread: fraud happens wherever identity is weak and accountability is missing—whether in healthcare systems, government programs, or even corporate operations. Identity management, internal controls, and segregation of duties aren't just audit words… they’re the guardrails that keep taxpayer dollars, patient data, and entire programs from going off the rails.

In Season 3, Episode 4 of Fraud in the Office, the Fraud Bros break down the unbelievable story of two MIT-educated brothers who allegedly executed a $25M crypto heist in just 12 seconds.

This first-of-its-kind scheme exposed critical weaknesses in the blockchain ecosystem, challenged assumptions about crypto security, and showed how intelligence, opportunity, and access can be exploited at lightning speed.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The bizarre rise of MIT brothers at the center of the heist
• How the alleged exploit was engineered and executed
• Why blockchain isn’t as untouchable as it claims
• How crypto fraud mirrors classic phishing & wire-scam psychology
• And why trust, transparency, and controls matter in ANY system
