Why do you think I like showing up at preschools and asking to see the children? I love handcuffing little kids and bringing them back to my white windowless van and driving off without their parent’s knowledge or permission.

Some people might say "oh that’s bad they’re just children woah what are you doing there, isn’t that pedophilia, aren’t you a pedo if you touch kids without their consent?" Well first off, I work for the government, second off, I have a gun, and thirdly, they’re children. There’s nothing they can do about it, so if it’s wrong they can’t stop me anyway. So it’s not really wrong because there’s no higher authority than the government that can say it’s wrong and I’m the government. So yeah.

You think that an empty building is collecting more than a hundred million in fraud? Yeah, it kinda sounds like you might be brainwashed.

Now I’m not saying it’s impossible that nobody in the history of the entire planet ever opened a scam daycare. But what I am saying, is think about this from the perspective of the person doing it. You’re are American. Would you fly over to another country, say Germany, to buy a building in Germany, buy a sign that says daycare, make a fake daycare in Germany, collect money from the German government, then bring that back to the United States? And somehow except that the money you get from the German government to support your fake daycare is going to be more than you pay in property taxes and utilities and they’re not going to ever notice that you’re not pay the light bill? It’s just not very believable.

It’s the kind of thing people will only believe willingly if they want to believe that it’s true in the first place. It literally spread online by getting hosted in the algorithm on a social media site that was bought by a billionaire who spent time in the White House with the president. If you don’t feel like this is obviously fake, then honestly I can’t really understand where you’re combing from intelligence-wise.

Or think about it this way, how would that all be done if you were an illegal immigrant in Germany? And if you were an illegal immigrant in Germany, how would you afford to buy or rent a building to use as a fake daycare in addition to your house? And then how are you going to afford a house or an apartment as an illegal immigrant in a foreign country if you don’t have a job? How are you going to buy property and ask for money from the government when you’re not a citizen and have nobody realize it? If you could even afford to do any of this in the first place you’d never have a reason to and you could afford to immigrate legally. It literally doesn’t make sense.

But you know who could easily afford to purchase a building and make a fake daycare? The guy that owns the social media site that the story went viral on in the first place.

Elon Musk has done stuff like this before. Lex Fridman, if you look on that guys YouTube channel, one of his very first interviews was with Elon Musk. How is it possible that someone’s very first interview is with one of the richest people in the world? Then you look into his past, he was a "researcher for AI" and an "MIT professor." Except he gave a guest lecture during winter break at MIT to get an MIT email address (it wasn’t actually a graded course), and his “AI research" was defending Tesla’s self driving features as being safer than they actually are. Elon Musk has created fake personas on the internet and successfully made them popular in the past. You don’t think Nick Surley is just another Lex Fridman?

Apparently he was at January 6th according to his Wikipedia page. And I see some articles saying he used to be a prank YouTuber. What’s the likelihood a prank YouTuber happened to be at January 6th and then decided to care about Somali daycares? He probably was selected for the role he’s playing on the internet because he was at January 6th and he had a pre existing following online from his prank YouTube channel.

So this fraud was widespread, over $100m dollars, but the people paid in government to stop this failed. They were less effective than two nobodies posting on YouTube.
Some of the transportation businesses didn't even put up a show at their addresses. They didn't have any vehicles. No one ever drove by to see if it was real.

"The fraud was widespread."
You’re saying it’s over 100 million dollars. How much money was each fake daycare getting? Because even if each daycare got a million dollars, that would mean there were a hundred daycares doing this. Do you have a list of which daycares are fake daycares and how much money they stole and what it adds up to? Or do you at least have a source as to who said this number or how I can verify it?
There are people that work in the area, customs officials, Somolis involved in the scandal, and government officials who are openly talking about what they've seen.
David Hoch did the actual investigative work, and partnered with Shirley for his audience.
