Even though Colin McDonald's comment came after the investigation into alleged fraud in Minnesota’s social service programs, it has also been acknowledged as a caution to all people who scam American citizens worldwide.
Collin McDonald insisted that they are working tirelessly to bring every person who defrauds an American citizen to book.
"My message to the fraudsters is this: eat, drink and be merry today, because your days of frolicking and freedom are numbered. We are doing everything we can to find you, and when we do, we will prosecute you, and we will claw back every dollar you have stolen from the American people. We will not rest until every fraudster knows that the cost of stealing from the American people is far higher than any scheme is worth."

Abu Trica Spotted at Accra High Court
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Abu Trica appeared at the Accra High Court on May 19 alongside his baby mama Queenie, days after securing GH₵30million bail following five months in custody.
The Swedru-based businessman, accused of leading a cybercrime syndicate that defrauded elderly Americans of over $8m, appeared relaxed at the hearing.
Ghanaians reacted online with widespread joy after seeing Abu Trica walk freely through the court complex, a stark contrast to his earlier handcuffed appearances.
