The feds have hit a major jackpot in the Western District of New York, recovering over $68 million through their Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE) Unit. U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo took to the podium today to announce the stunning figures.
According to DiGiacomo, the ACE Unit’s relentless pursuit of justice has led to this significant victory against fraudsters, wasteful practices, and abuse of federal programs. The recovery comes from a combination of settlements and enforcement actions, showcasing the unit’s effectiveness in holding wrongdoers accountable.
While specifics of individual cases were not disclosed at the press conference, it is clear that the ACE Unit has been targeting a wide range of fraudulent activities across various industries. From healthcare fraud to financial institution fraud, the unit’s scope has proven broad and impactful.
The recovery is a significant blow to those who seek to profit from deceitful practices. It serves as a powerful reminder that federal prosecutors are vigilant in protecting the public interest and ensuring that tax dollars are used responsibly.
DiGiacomo also took the opportunity to commend the dedicated team of lawyers, investigators, and support staff who make up the ACE Unit. Their hard work and dedication have led to these substantial recoveries and continue to make a difference in the fight against fraud.
This latest achievement adds to an already impressive track record for the ACE Unit. With over $68 million recovered in 2025 alone, it’s clear that federal prosecutors are more than just talk. They’re action, and they’re making a real impact on the financial health of the nation.
