YouTuber snick Shirley has drawn subject attending followers the give up of his December 26 video, “I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal," in which he claims to have uncovered misuse of public funds within Minnesota's daycare system. Recently, during an appearance on the All-InPodcast, Shirley expanded his criticism to California, asserting “massive fraud” exists.
Appearing on the All In Podcast, he alleged, “Oh, there's massive fraud in California. I mean, the homelessness has just increased as they receive more money. And that's just one part of it." He added, "And like you talked about the light rail and everything like that, the fraud is like crazy in California and they have the highest taxes.”
During the conversation, the podcast host asked the YouTuber whether he had been approached about pursuing legal action under qui tam whistleblower laws, a “framework where you can actually sue on behalf of the state and on behalf of taxpayers,” he explained. Shirley responded, “I actually had somebody reach out to me the other day about it. So I'm going to actually hop on a phone call with that guy.”
The conversation also touched on the potential financial incentives associated with whistleblower laws. The hosts noted that such statutes, in some cases, award whistleblowers a significant percentage of recovered funds, depending on the circumstances of the case.
