The main business featured in independent journalist Nick Shirley’s most recent video on hospice fraud in Los Angeles has reportedly shut down just two weeks after being exposed, as Shirley pledged to continue to root out fraudsters, and track where taxpayers' money is really going.

"Why run if you have nothing to hide?" he added.

It remains unclear whether the hospice provider was actually running a fraudulent operation or why it abruptly shut down.
This comes as the Trump administration has pledged to crack down on fraud nationwide, with Vice President JD Vance leading a new White House Fraud Task Force. California is poised to be a prime target, given its well-funded welfare and social services programs alongside a sprawling, often bloated bureaucracy, conditions where fraud can easily go undetected, or in the Golden State's case, simply unprosecuted.
