Half of Pandemic Relief Fraud Was Stolen by US Adversaries: Anti-Fraud Expert to Congress

During a House Oversight Subcommittee hearing on Oct. 19, founder and CEO of Audient Group Linda Miller, the former deputy executive director of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee in the Department of Justice, disclosed that according to some estimates, half of U.S. pandemic unemployment assistance fraud went to adversarial nations. Her comments came in response to a question from Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) concerning a recent federal prosecution of a group of Chinese state-linked hackers who stole an estimated $20 million in relief funds.
