Perpetrating fraud on the most vulnerable: Minnesotan Cain Pence interview
Join “I Know A Thing” for an interview with Cain Pence, victim of home healthcare fraud in Minneapolis, MN. At the end of 2025, independent journalist Nick Shirley exposed what Cain and others had been victims of- fraudsters who promised healthcare services and were being paid exorbitant rates for doing absolutely nothing. The fall out is people being evicted from apartments and living homeless, and even some folks dying while supposedly in their care. As a result of the exposure of this fraud, Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, decided not to run again for his position. But we’re still waiting for indictments for the fraud and even worse criminal activity to happen.
Cain Pence is a Minneapolis based writer. Mr. Pence is a graduate of Georgetown University and has traveled extensively throughout all 50 states. Mr. Pence's writings have appeared in numerous publications including The Washington Times, The Hill, The Washington Examiner, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Santa Fe New Mexican, The American Thinker, The MinnPost and others.
