SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – Two women from Shreveport are facing charges for reportedly defrauding Medicaid and SNAP. One of them has been arrested and one remains at-large, the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office says.
The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) says they got a criminal referral from the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) about Tanesha Bowman, 39, who had allegedly defrauded Medicaid and SNAP. LDH also said a former employee of theirs, Juleah Seazer, 33, had participated in defrauding Medicaid.
The AG’s office says during the investigation, LBI found out that Seazer, a former customer service rep for LDH, had helped her friend, Bowman, in a scheme to illegally reinstate Bowman’s Medicaid benefits. LDH had previously ended Bowman’s benefits when they found out she had failed to report her true marital status and household income.

THE BHI TRUST PONZI SCHEME (SOUTH AFRICA)
Date: Ongoing updates through February 2026 Perpetrator: Craig Warriner (Principal), with alleged co-conspirators
Case Description: The BHI Trust scandal remains one of South Africa’s most devastating financial crimes, involving the loss of between R1.9 billion and R3 billion. Craig Warriner, the “genius trader” behind the trust, turned himself in during late 2023, but the legal and recovery battles reached a fever pitch in 2025 and 2026. Warriner operated the trust as a textbook Ponzi scheme, utilizing “Old Boy” networks and high-profile brokers to lure in pensioners and high-net-worth individuals with promises of 20% annual returns.
In early 2025, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) faced heavy criticism for “provisionally withdrawing” charges against alleged co-conspirators Michael Haldane and Sona Pillay. However, civil recovery efforts by joint trustees have continued into 2026, aiming to claw back hundreds of millions in “fictitious profits” from early investors to redistribute to those who lost everything. The case is a masterclass in the failure of fiduciary duty; the FSCA eventually banned several advisors for up to 30 years for peddling the unlicensed scheme despite clear red flags, such as the lack of a website, the absence of regulated financial reports, and a fee structure that was triple the industry average.
