68 Arrests In Alleged Disability Fraud In Puerto Rico

Posted on 07:40 by Unknown
     From the Wall Street Journal:



Federal
agents arrested 68 people in Puerto Rico on Wednesday morning as part of an
investigation into alleged abuse of the Social Security Disability Insurance
program, two people familiar with the operation said. 



More
arrests are expected. The bust appears to be one of the largest disability fraud
cases ever assembled by federal investigators.
