FBI Urged to Investigate Government Auditor Using Two Names and Three Emails in Federal Whistleblower Office – Public Corruption Alert

One official. Two official names. Three government emails. What happens when the office that receives reports about federal fraud may itself be hiding identities? Transparency Alert: One Auditor, Two Names, Three Government Emails – Is Connecticut’s Whistleblower Office Hiding Something? Brain Injury Survivor, Stroke Survivor, and Provider in the Federal Medicaid Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program March 1 2026 I am David Medeiros. I live with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a stroke. I run ABI Resources, a small provider helping brain injury survivors in Connecticut’s Medicaid ABI Waiver Program. For years I have reported serious problems: disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable ADA accommodations, delays at the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO), and patterns that look like waste and retaliation in a federally funded program. This is not just my story. This is about how the system is supposed to protect whistleblowers and what happens when the very office that receives those reports may be using hidden names and emails. The Specific Case: One Person, Two Very Different Names, Three Government Emails! The Auditors of Public Accounts (APA) is the independent state office where anyone must send whistleblower complaints about fraud, waste, abuse, misconduct, or violations in state government. The designated point of contact for all whistleblower complaints is listed as Maura F. Pardo, Administrative Auditor, CPA, CGFM, CFE. Yet in government systems and communications she also appears as Michelle Pardo. She uses three separate government email addresses: maura.pardo@ctauditors.gov (primary) maura.pardo@cga.ct.gov michelle.pardo@cga.ct.gov These emails cross between two separate important government systems: the Auditors of Public Accounts and the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) network. In December 2023 I sent detailed emails to her about my whistleblower report (dated November 21, 2023), ADA failures at CHRO, and problems in the federal Medicaid ABI Waiver. Responses came from Maura.Pardo@ctauditors.gov. The office acknowledged receiving nearly 100 emails from me and asked for a confidentiality waiver by December 31, 2023. This is one person holding a very important job in two separate very important government roles but using two very different names and three email addresses. The Bigger Picture: This Pattern May Exist Across 80+ Auditors This is not about one person. Evidence and system quirks suggest the same two-names + three-emails setup is used by 80 or more auditors in the same office. Each of these auditors appears to hold critical oversight jobs that span two separate government infrastructures. If the state office that receives reports about state-level crime is itself using hidden identities, then who is really watching the watchers? Why This Is Dangerous – Especially When the State May Be Part of the Problem The APA is supposed to be the safe, independent place to report wrongdoing. If the state is committing or covering up wrongdoing especially in federally funded Medicaid programs that serve disabled people then the whistleblower system itself can be used to block complaints. This setup creates real risks: Complaints can be delayed, misrouted, or lost across multiple emails and names. Retaliation becomes easier to hide. People with disabilities (who already struggle with complex systems) face extra barriers. My own case involves federal Medicaid dollars, ADA civil rights, and whistleblower retaliation. These are exactly the issues the FBI investigates as public corruption their top criminal priority. According to the FBI, public corruption includes state and local officials who misuse their positions, engage in fraud involving federal funds, or obstruct oversight. It costs taxpayers billions every year and threatens programs like Medicaid. Federal Law Is Clear The FBI investigates: Fraud against the federal government Civil rights violations under color of law Patterns that obstruct whistleblower reporting When one person or many people in a whistleblower intake office use multiple official names and emails, it raises the exact questions the FBI is trained to answer: Is this lawful internal routing, or is it being used to conceal activity that violates federal law? What I Have Done and What Must Happen Next Because of my TBI, clear communication is hard. I worked with help to file a direct, detailed tip with the FBI at tips.fbi.gov. The tip is simple: One person, two names, three government emails in the state’s top whistleblower office. Same pattern likely exists for 80+ auditors. This office receives complaints about federal Medicaid fraud and ADA violations. If the state is committing the crime, who investigates the investigators? I am asking the FBI for a full investigation into identification and email practices in Connecticut’s Auditors of Public Accounts and related oversight roles. A Message to Other Whistleblowers, Advocates, and People with Disabilities If you have filed complaints with this office and received confusing responses from different names or emails, document everything. If you work inside state government and see the same pattern, you are protected when you report it to the FBI. Transparency is not optional when federal tax dollars and civil rights are involved. Call to Action Read this article and share it. If you have evidence of similar name/email setups in other oversight offices, submit it to the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov (you can stay anonymous). Contact your federal representatives and ask them to support a review of state whistleblower offices that handle federal Medicaid and ADA matters. Visit David-Medeiros.com for full documentation of my whistleblower filings and email records. The whistleblower system only works when the people running it are fully transparent. One person. Two names. Three government emails. Eighty or more auditors. Federal programs. Disabled citizens. This is not a small administrative detail. This is a serious question of public trust. The FBI must investigate. The public deserves answers. David Medeiros ABI Resources Medicaid ABI Waiver Provider Brain Injury Survivor and Advocate David-Medeiros.com
