“…(F)inancial fraud is growing rampant—evidenced by the billions of dollars fraudsters stole from Maryland’s unemployment system.  That’s why I have called for the establishment of a first-in-the-nation Center for Fraud Detection in state government, a dedicated state agency solely devoted to rooting out and preventing fraud in state agencies and working with law enforcement entities to bring financial criminals to justice.” Source: Maryland Comptroller in the Baltimore Sun.
