Thought I would start a new thread just to keep track of all the DOGE related arrests. Arresting illegals or drug dealers or traffic violates is not what this is about. Those who committed fraud and laundered money for personal or political gain is what we are looking for here.
Why is this important? Because oof these politicians and bureaucrats are not arrested and jailed then it's just business as usual whenever the left gains control again.
In addition, we peasants are a fickle bunch and always have been. If the arrests dont begin soon Trumps massive popularity will begin to lose momentum. By the midterms we will be in real trouble and the possibility of losing in the midterms would become very real. If that happens then it's game over for ever reforming the system.

This is week 13.
Total arrests thus far. 0

Fun with Grok:

Since Trump was sworn in as president and DOGE was activated have there been any arrests for fraud or anyone charged with fraud?

Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President on January 20, 2025, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, was activated, there have been reports of fraud investigations and some charges, but specific arrests directly tied to DOGE’s efforts are limited or not clearly documented in available information. Here’s a breakdown based on relevant sources:
  • DOGE’s Fraud Investigations: DOGE, tasked with identifying government waste, has claimed to uncover significant fraud, particularly in unemployment insurance claims. For example, DOGE announced findings of $59 million in benefits claimed by 24,500 people over 115 years old, $254 million by 28,000 people aged 1–5, and $69 million by 9,700 people with future birthdates. However, these discoveries appear to overlap with fraud already identified by federal investigators years earlier, and no specific arrests directly resulting from DOGE’s announcements have been reported.



  • Notable Fraud Cases:
    • A crypto mogul who invested $75 million in Trump family-backed crypto tokens faced civil fraud charges from federal securities regulators. In February 2025, regulators paused this case, and no criminal charges or arrests were mentioned.



    • On April 15, 2025, a Massachusetts state representative was charged in a fraud and cover-up scheme. This case is unrelated to DOGE or federal investigations tied to Trump’s administration.

    • No high-profile arrests or charges explicitly linked to DOGE’s fraud findings (e.g., unemployment or Social Security fraud) have been detailed in the sources.
  • Context on DOGE’s Claims: Critics argue DOGE’s fraud claims are often overstated or recycled from prior investigations, with little transparency on new actionable outcomes like arrests. For instance, The Washington Post noted that DOGE’s Social Security fraud claims lack support from existing audits, and ProPublica highlighted DOGE’s “chainsaw approach” to fraud detection as less rigorous than traditional investigations.


  • Sentiment on X: Some X posts express skepticism about DOGE’s impact, noting that despite claims of uncovering millions in fraudulent transactions, no significant arrests have followed. These are not conclusive but reflect public frustration.
Summary: While DOGE has publicized findings of alleged fraud, no specific arrests or new criminal charges directly attributed to their efforts since January 2025 are confirmed in the provided sources. One unrelated state-level fraud charge occurred, and a crypto-related civil fraud case was paused. If you’re looking for real-time updates or specific cases, I can search further or analyze related X posts for sentiment. Would you like me to do that?
