YouTuber Nick Shirley has recently revealed more allegations of welfare fraud in Minneapolis through a new video that highlights abandoned vans and a suspicious trucking company with a dubious address.
In his latest upload, Shirley dives deeper into the issue, pointing out signs of extensive welfare fraud linked to Minnesota’s welfare system. He discovered numerous idle vehicles, non-existent offices, and companies that seem to exist solely on paper. When Shirley checked out the registered address of Dreamline Transportation, he found it was actually a liquor store with just mailboxes.
Moreover, Shirley observed that over a dozen vans with the Dreamline name had been sitting unused for months, buried in snow without any tire tracks around them. His footage documents these vehicles parked in the same spots repeatedly over an eight-month span, implying they were never actually employed to transport anyone.
Shirley expressed skepticism about claims that these vans were being used for medical or childcare transportation. He noted, “If these vans are being used to transport people, whether it’s medical or childcare, you’re going to have snow roads. And here we have eleven vehicles without any snow paths.”
The investigation also led him to Silver Mountain Inc. LLC, another firm that is supposedly based in Minneapolis. When Shirley and his companion David asked residents about Silver Mountain, they had never heard of it, and one man even told them to leave.
“Alright, let’s move on. So Silver Mountain doesn’t seem to exist,” Shirley remarked.
He pointed out that this pattern repeated itself at multiple locations, with three different human services businesses linked to the same address. Shirley asserted that these transportation companies play a crucial role in facilitating fraud by creating misleading paper trails that suggest people are being transported between various services, when they are actually not.
Another site associated with Eponia Transport LLC revealed a lack of signs, vehicles, or even a legitimate business presence. Nearby office tenants stated that the person believed to operate as the transporter rarely came around and kept office space that only contained a sofa.
“There has been a transportation company here for quite some time, even before I joined this building. He’s never really around. I’ve seen the office a handful of times; it’s just a couch. I only see him about twice a month,” one tenant shared.
“Are there no transport vehicles outside?” Shirley inquired.
“I’m familiar with everyone here in the building,” replied the tenant. “And this particular space is probably the sketchiest of all the other businesses.”
As the investigation progressed, Shirley asked how long this alleged scheme could last if Minnesota stopped covering transportation. David responded that eliminating that aspect would have an immediate and significant effect.
“If we shut down transit fraud here in Minnesota, how quickly do you think it would stop?” Shirley questioned.
David replied, “It’ll have a huge impact, and the message will be clear: the party is over.”
Shirley previously posted another video accusing Minnesota’s medical transportation network of widespread misuse, indicating that a year-long study uncovered around 1,200 medical ride services across the state. He acknowledged David’s contributions in terms of research, documentation, and field observations that he believes helped expose this significant fraud.
