February 24, 2026 Forensic Addendum to National Hand-Off Brief: Susan Stange’s Documented Email Deletion Spoliation Events (Feb 10–13) + Christine Weston Community Options Firewall + GT Independence Competitor Credentialing Conflict – Real-Time Proof the Denial Engine Continues Under MAHA On February 24, 2026 the very day this National Hand-Off Brief is delivered to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the National Whistleblower Evidence Archive adds this urgent forensic addendum. On February 24, 2026, the National Whistleblower Evidence Archive delivers this urgent forensic addendum directly to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The biggest picture is this: The Connecticut Department of Social Services is actively blocking ABI Resources a CARF-accredited Medicaid ABI Waiver provider that is already delivering services to brain-injury survivors right now from being able to properly provide and bill for those services. Even though ABI Resources is actively serving ABI Waiver clients every day, DSS has failed to authorize the vast majority of those clients in the Sandata EVV system. At the same time, DSS is forcing ABI Resources to hand over full credentialing information to GT Independence, a direct business competitor that runs self-directed services, maintains a public provider directory, and recruits from the same workforce. When these issues are raised in official written complaints citing federal law, Susan Stange deletes the messages without reading them at least nine documented deletions between February 10 and February 13, 2026. Director Christine Weston reads the same complaints and responds with minimal action while the obstruction continues. This is not a paperwork glitch. This is systematic obstruction that prevents a qualified, experienced provider from serving vulnerable Americans who have the federal right to choose ABI Resources under freedom-of-choice rules (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(23)), ADA Title II, and the Olmstead integration mandate. The result: brain-injury survivors lose real choice, services are disrupted, billing is blocked, and taxpayer dollars are wasted all while the denial engine keeps deleting the evidence. This fresh February 2026 evidence proves the pattern is still happening right now. It belongs in the permanent national record being handed to federal leadership today. Fresh evidence from February 2 through February 23, 2026 shows the denial engine is still fully operational inside Connecticut DSS. Susan Stange repeatedly deleted official public records emails without reading them. Christine Weston read the same messages and responded with minimal action while protecting the status quo. And a new conflict-of-interest issue has surfaced: mandatory duplicative credentialing to GT Independence, a direct competitor in the self-directed services space. This is not history. This is happening right now. And it belongs in the permanent record being handed to federal leadership today. The New Deletion Pattern – Susan Stange (Feb 10 & Feb 13, 2026) Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 6:29 PM: Two separate copies of my formal demand letter were deleted by Susan Stange without being read. Friday, February 13, 2026 between 7:09 PM and 7:24 PM: At least seven separate messages in the exact same “No authorization” thread were deleted by Susan Stange without being read. These deletions occurred after the emails had already been read by Director Christine Weston and the Commissioner’s office. The deleted emails contained formal complaints about Sandata EVV authorization failures, forced credentialing to a competitor, potential PHI misuse, and ADA/Olmstead violations. This is textbook spoliation of public records under Connecticut law (C.G.S. §1-200 et seq., records retention schedules, Public Records Administrator guidelines). It also triggers federal legal-hold obligations because these communications are directly tied to ongoing DOJ, HHS OCR, and CMS complaints. The Leadership Firewall – Christine M. Weston, Director of Community Options Christine Weston read multiple versions of the formal complaints on February 10, 13, and 23. On February 3 she granted a re-enrollment extension but instructed me to copy her and Susan Stange first so “we can take the actions needed.” No substantive response to the credentialing conflict, Sandata failures, or deletion pattern has been received as of February 24. This creates the appearance of a classic gatekeeper structure: the director is aware, offers minimal accommodation, while staff below her destroys the record. The New Substantive Violations – GT Independence Credentialing & Sandata Failures The Feb 10 formal demand letter details: Why must a CARF-accredited ABI Waiver provider submit full ownership, financial, staffing, and ADA compliance data to GT Independence a direct competitor that runs self-directed payroll, maintains a public provider directory, and recruits from the same workforce? No cited DSS policy or federal regulation requires this duplicative step when CARF accreditation already proves rigorous compliance. Potential PHI sharing to a competitor without proper Business Associate Agreements or conflict-of-interest safeguards (42 C.F.R. §455.238). Ongoing Sandata EVV authorization failures affecting ~90% of active clients despite continuous service delivery (42 U.S.C. §1396b(m) violation). These issues directly harm TBI/ABI survivors by limiting true provider choice and risking service disruptions the exact systemic failures the MAHA initiative is designed to end. Immediate Addition to the National Hand-Off Brief This addendum becomes Exhibit 30 in the a historical, unverified active-investigation count list. It proves that even in February 2026: The firewall is still deleting evidence. Leadership is still minimizing. New anti-competitive practices (GTI credentialing) are still harming accredited providers and beneficiaries. Dr. Oz and Secretary RFK Jr., this is the real-time intelligence you need. The same patterns that wasted billions under the previous administration continue today. Use this archive to audit, withhold FMAP where appropriate, enforce freedom of choice, and protect the most vulnerable. Updated Demands (for the record) Immediate litigation hold on all DSS emails involving ABI Resources. Retrieval of all deleted Stange emails from server backups. Investigation into GT Independence credentialing conflict and PHI flows. Full Sandata authorization for every active ABI Resources client by close of business today. Disciplinary action for documented deletions. All evidence in this addendum carries fresh SHA-256 hashes and is preserved at the Federal Investigators Portal. America is still watching. The 30-year war continues but the permanent national ledger grows stronger every single day. Dr. Oz, Secretary RFK Jr., the keys are in your hands. Use them.
