"Trump's Fraud Squad Fakes Its Own Numbers
“特朗普的欺诈小组伪造了自己的数字
You may remember that Vice President JD Vance took it upon himself to launch a National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Justice Department, promising to hunt down waste and cheating. And they talked so tough. Their top fraud prosecutor put out a message to the fraudsters of America, quote, “our team is getting bigger, our resolve is getting stronger and your time is getting shorter.”
您可能还记得副总统 JD 万斯 (JD Vance) 亲自在司法部成立了国家欺诈执法部门，承诺打击浪费和欺诈行为。而且他们说话非常强硬。他们的最高欺诈检察官向美国的欺诈者发出了一条信息，引用说：“我们的团队正在变得更大，我们的决心正在变得更强，而你们的时间正在变得越来越短。”
Well, the Wall Street Journal just pulled back the curtain on the operation, and to nobody’s surprise, it’s a complete mess. Inside the department, this so-called fraud squad keeps fighting with each other. They’re in a turf war over which office even gets to use the word “fraud” in its name. That’s a real thing they’re fighting about. And it gets worse. DOJ officials in the task force are accusing each other of completely making up their numbers, inflating their stats to make the effort look way more successful than it actually is. A fraud unit... doing fraud?
好吧，《华尔街日报》刚刚揭开了此次行动的帷幕，不出所料，这次行动一团糟。在部门内部，这个所谓的诈骗小组一直在互相争斗。他们正在为哪个办公室可以在其名称中使用“欺诈”一词而展开地盘争夺战。这是他们正在争论的真实问题。而且情况变得更糟。特别工作组中的司法部官员互相指责对方完全捏造了数字，夸大了他们的统计数据，以使工作看起来比实际情况更成功。诈骗单位……诈骗？
Court records show that many of the cases this division bragged about were charged long before the unit even existed. Some of them even before Trump was sworn in. They stood at podiums holding press conferences, taking credit for convictions that were already finished.
法庭记录显示，该部门吹嘘的许多案件早在该部门成立之前就已受到指控。他们中的一些人甚至在特朗普宣誓就职之前就已经开始了。他们站在讲台上举行新闻发布会，为已经完成的定罪而沾沾自喜。
And the craziest part of this is that reporting shows they’re not going after Wall Street or major criminal fraudsters. They’re going after small businesses, even ice cream trucks, over relatively tiny amounts of fraud. That’s all they’re able to get. And where are they focusing their operations geographically? In Democratic states like Minnesota.
其中最疯狂的部分是，报告显示他们并没有追捕华尔街或主要的犯罪欺诈者。他们针对金额相对较小的欺诈行为追查小型企业，甚至是冰淇淋车。这就是他们所能得到的一切。他们的业务重点在哪里？在明尼苏达州等民主党州。
If this were a serious anti-fraud effort, they would be following the money to the biggest thieves no matter who or where they are. This one chases ice cream trucks in states the President doesn’t like and brags with numbers its own people say are fake. That’s not fighting fraud. That’s trying to use fraud as a weapon and doing a clumsy job at it.
如果这是一项认真的反欺诈努力，那么他们就会追踪这些钱到最大的窃贼那里，无论他们是谁或在哪里。这辆车在总统不喜欢的州追逐冰淇淋车，并吹嘘自己的人民说是假的数字。这不是打击欺诈。这是试图利用欺诈作为武器，而且做得很笨拙。
All of this is an act. They know the most fraud is coming right out of the White House, and this is an attempt to try and deflect that by doing meaningless work and attacking ice cream trucks.
这一切都是一种行为。他们知道大多数欺诈行为都来自白宫，而这是试图通过做无意义的工作和攻击冰淇淋车来转移这一点。
