YouTuber Nick Shirley released a video March 16 alleging to document more than $170,000,000 in taxpayer fraud in California.

In his California video, Shirley expands the scope of the alleged fraud to include hospice care, which takes up a majority of the video. He alleges that California hospices, charged with caring for the terminally ill, had seen a growth in the industry by 1,000% in Los Angeles.

Shirley visits a plaza he says is the home of 15 hospices, which he claims may belong to Russian-Armenian mafia members. Multiple offices were empty or not taking Shirley’s inquiries on how to sign up his “grandma” for hospice care, he alleges.

One alleged hospice owner tells Shirley he is harassing people and should have done more research before coming, saying, “You don’t come to buildings like this, like FBI guys, ‘we’re going to get the crooks.’”

Shirley also pointed out the nice cars of the alleged hospice workers. “It just seems like a lot of people are getting rich off the death of old people,” he said.

Shirley also visits an apparent adult daycare which he alleges received $19.8 million in taxpayer aid. Although void of guests, the building is full of tables and chairs ready to be used, according to the video. Shirley questions how the building of a company was able to appear so dilapidated with alleged access to that much taxpayer funding.
