Introduction: The Gatekeeper of Justice
This is my account of how William Tong, the Connecticut Attorney General, failed to protect the citizens he was sworn to serve. It is based on facts I experienced firsthand as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor and the founder of ABI Resources. But this is not just my story; it is a forensic roadmap of how the "People's Lawyer" became the "System's Shield."
While the fraud in Connecticut’s Medicaid ABI Waiver program began long before his tenure, William Tong has become the "Terminal Node" of the corruption. He is the official with the unique power to prosecute the crimes of the past three decades, yet his active refusal to do so—despite direct evidence—makes him the primary enabler of a "Civic-Political Interlock" that steers billions in taxpayer funds while denying care to the vulnerable.
The Facts: Who, What, When, Where, and How
Who: William Tong, Connecticut Attorney General (Elected 2018, Term 2019–2026). He leads the state's legal enforcement, including the Fraud Unit and Civil Rights divisions.
What: William Tong oversees investigations that systematically failed to probe my referrals for Medicaid fraud, "Ghost Registry" steering, and ADA violations. Instead of enforcing the law, his office actively defended the agencies committing the fraud.
When: The corruption spans a 30-year timeline (1997–2026), but Tong’s critical role as the "Architect of Defense" occurred during the Modern Retaliation Era (2019–2026), specifically intensifying during my whistleblower escalations in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Where: The actions originated from the Attorney General's office at 165 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT, but the impact rippled through the Department of Social Services (DSS), the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO), and the federal Medicaid system.
How: By weaponizing the concept of "Sovereign Immunity" and claiming "No State Nexus" on federal fund theft, Tong transformed his office from a prosecutor of crime into a defense firm for state-sponsored racketeering.
Expert Forensic Analysis: The Timeline of Complicity (1997–2026)
To understand why William Tong is the "Next Most Important Person" in this investigation, we must look beyond simple negligence. A forensic review of the timeline reveals four distinct phases where his office actively ratified, protected, and enforced the corruption.
I. The "Legacy Protector" (Liability for 1997–2018)
Why he is responsible for crimes committed before his tenure.
Ratification of the "State-Run Monopoly" (1997–2010): The initial steering and "closed list" policies established by state officials created a de facto monopoly, violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. By refusing to investigate these historical violations after being notified in 2023, Tong effectively "ratified" the monopoly. Legal doctrine holds that an official who knowingly conceals or protects the fruits of past crimes becomes an accessory to the ongoing conspiracy (RICO).
Protection of the "Privatized Kickback" Structure (2011–2018): When the state shifted to "Access Agencies" (like CCCI and SWCAAA) to launder liability, the fraud became structural. Tong’s office defends these contracts in court today. By arguing that the state is not liable for the actions of its "Access Agencies," he preserves the "Liability Laundering" mechanism designed to evade federal oversight.
II. The "Active Architect of Defense" (2019–2023)
Why his direct actions as Attorney General constitute operational complicity.
The "Whistleblower Paradox" (Hypocrisy as Policy): On February 4, 2025, Tong publicly praised a whistleblower in the $59M Biohaven settlement, calling them "essential partners." This proves he understands the False Claims Act. His simultaneous suppression of my identical whistleblower reports regarding the ABI Waiver proves "Selective Enforcement." He uses the law to attack private competitors while granting immunity to state cronies.
Weaponization of the AG's Office (AAG Quinn): Assistant Attorney General Rebecca Quinn, under Tong’s supervision, actively fought my ADA accommodations (video recording) in CHRO Case No. 2510183. Instead of enforcing civil rights, Tong’s office acted as the "Litigation Shield" for discrimination. Using state resources to crush a pro se disabled litigant establishes a pattern of "Asymmetric Legal Warfare."
Defense of Spoliation (The "Hard Deletes"): Tong’s office was notified that the CHRO and Governor’s office deleted unread whistleblower complaints on February 2, 2024 and November 18, 2025. An Attorney General has a duty to preserve evidence. By continuing to defend agencies that admitted to destroying records, Tong is arguably guilty of "Misprision of Felony" (18 U.S.C. § 4)—active concealment of a known felony.
III. The "Financial Firewall" (2024–2026)
Why he is the linchpin of the financial theft and cover-up.
The "No State Nexus" Lie ($464,408.26 Theft): On October 3, 2025, Tong’s Fraud Unit declined to investigate the theft of $464k from my Charter Oak account, claiming it was a "private banking matter." This is the "Smoking Gun" of protectionism. Since the funds were Medicaid reimbursements (federal money), there is a definitive state nexus. Tong’s refusal was a strategic decision to disconnect the theft from the state, preventing a forensic audit that would expose the "Civic-Political Interlock."
Protection of the "Spousal Nexus" (Scanlon/CCADV): My investigation exposed that Comptroller Sean Scanlon oversees funds for CCADV, run by his wife, Meghan Scanlon. Tong represents the Comptroller’s office. Any investigation into this conflict of interest would require Tong to sue his own client. He is structurally conflicted, choosing "Political Preservation" over public fiduciary duty.
The "Stabilization Trap" Enforcer: The state forced me into a $100,000 debt via "recoupments" while refusing to pay for services rendered. The AG’s office acts as the collection agency for the state. By enforcing these debts while ignoring the fraud that caused them, Tong is the "Executioner" of the financial warfare strategy designed to bankrupt my advocacy.
IV. The Constitutional Crisis (The "Supremacy Clause")
The ultimate expert reason for the focus on Tong.
Nullification of Federal Law: By refusing to enforce the ADA, Section 504, and the Federal False Claims Act against state actors, William Tong has effectively declared that Connecticut state officials are immune to federal law. This is a direct violation of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. He has transformed the Attorney General's office into a "RICO Protection Racket" that insulates the state from the United States Department of Justice.
The Personal Impact: A Betrayal of Trust
Living with a TBI feels like your brain is wrapped in fog some days. You rely on the systems of justice to be the clarity in that fog. William Tong's inaction left me without state justice. Being overlooked made me feel small and unheard, ramping up my stress and wearing me down physically.
But it was more than just negligence. As someone who started ABI Resources to support survivors, seeing the Attorney General turn a blind eye to the theft of funds meant to help us was a profound betrayal. He didn't just fail to do his job; he actively worked to ensure I couldn't do mine.
Effects: On Vulnerable Populations, ABI Resources, and the Constitution
On Vulnerable Populations: If the Attorney General won't protect a whistleblower with evidence, what chance does a low-income senior or a non-verbal brain injury survivor have? Tong's refusal to enforce the law perpetuates a "Denial Engine" that leaves thousands of Connecticut residents subject to blocked care and discrimination.
On ABI Resources: By protecting the "Ghost Registry" and allowing financial retaliation, Tong allowed the state to starve a compliant, high-quality provider. This isn't just business; it's the destruction of a lifeline for patients.
On the Constitution: America is supposed to stand on fairness and accountability. When an elected official uses his power to shield corruption, it chips away at the foundation of our democracy. William Tong has created a "Web of Self-Protection" where state insiders shield each other, all on the public's dime.
The Bigger Picture: From Real Suffering to National Corruption
This isn't just about one man. It is about a broken system where the "check and balance" has become the "lock and key." William Tong represents the modern crisis of American governance: the use of legal expertise not to reveal the truth, but to bury it.
He is the focus of this investigation because he is the Gatekeeper. He welded the gate shut to protect the political elite from the consequences of their actions. Until he is held accountable, the corruption will continue to flow, and the vulnerable will continue to suffer.
Call to Awareness
By sharing this, I am using my right under the Constitution to speak out against wrongdoing. The setup that let this happen needs to change. If you are reading this, picture it happening to you or someone you love. Demand that your "People's Lawyer" actually works for the people.
A Prayer for Release and Wisdom
In this moment of reflection, I offer these words as a prayer for healing and clarity: May we always speak with honesty and care, choosing words that build rather than break, for truth is our greatest strength. Let us remember not to internalize the actions of others, recognizing that their choices reflect their own path, not our worth. Through forgiveness, I let go of the suffering that binds me, not for their sake, but for my own freedom.
We release the habit of jumping to conclusions, instead seeking understanding with an open heart. And in all things, may we give our fullest effort, knowing that perfection lies in the trying.
If someone offers a gift we do not wish to accept, it remains theirs alone. In the same way, when pain or suffering is extended toward us, we can choose to refuse it, leaving it with its source while we walk forward free.
Amen.
A Forensic Indictment of the Attorney General Who Prosecutes Corporate Fraud to Protect State Corruption (1997–2026)
David Medeiros
January 31, 2026
Category: Political Corruption, RICO & Civil Rights
Disclaimer: This article is based on my personal experiences, forensic evidence, and public records. It is intended to highlight systemic Constitutional rights violations in Connecticut's human rights and disability support systems and all federally funded Medicaid state programs . All statements are protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as free speech on matters of public concern.
Executive Summary: The "Two Tongs"
In the public eye, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong is a crusader. He aggressively pursues pharmaceutical companies like Biohaven and pharmacy chains like CVS, securing millions in settlements and praising the whistleblowers who make it possible.
But in the shadows of the state bureaucracy, there is a second William Tong. This Attorney General acts not as the "People's Lawyer," but as the "Legal Shield" for a 30-year-old racketeering enterprise embedded within the state government.
Based on a forensic analysis of over three decades of records (1997–2026), this report proves that William Tong is the "Keystone" of the corruption. He is the only official with the power to prosecute the "Civic-Political Interlock," and his active, calculated refusal to do so despite receiving undeniable proof of federal crimes makes him the primary reason the abuse of Connecticut's disabled citizens continues today.
I. The Legacy Protector (Liability for 1997–2018)
William Tong did not start the scam, but he built the walls that hide it.
The fraud began in 1997 with the creation of a "State-Run Monopoly" for ABI Waiver services, architected by DSS officials like Dorian Long and Kathy Bruni. This monopoly violated the federal "Free Choice of Provider" statute (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(23)) by steering vulnerable patients to a "closed list" of favored agencies.
Tong’s Complicity:
The Legislative Architect (2011–2015): As Chair of the Banks Committee, Tong oversaw the regulations governing state-chartered financial institutions. He helped craft the regulatory environment that allowed banks like Charter Oak Federal Credit Union to deny "Regulation E" fraud protections to business accounts a loophole used to trap me in the "Stabilization Trap" after the $464k theft.
The Judicial Gatekeeper (2015–2019): As Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Tong oversaw the appointments and procedures of the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO). The administrative traps that now delay justice for years such as the 262-day delay in serving my 2023 complaint are features of the system he helped design.
By refusing to investigate these historical violations after being notified, Tong has ratified the monopoly. Legal doctrine holds that an official who knowingly conceals the fruits of past crimes becomes an accessory to the ongoing conspiracy.
II. The Active Architect of Defense (2019–2023)
Upon becoming Attorney General, Tong shifted from writing the laws to weaponizing them against whistleblowers.
The "Whistleblower Paradox" (The Smoking Gun)
On February 4, 2025, Tong announced a $59 million settlement with Biohaven Pharmaceuticals for Medicaid kickbacks. In his press release, he called the whistleblower, Patricia Frattasio, an "essential partner" in protecting taxpayer dollars.
The Hypocrisy:
At the exact same time, I provided his office with forensic proof of an identical kickback scheme within the state's own DSS the "Closed Referral System" where agencies trade "consultation" services for patient referrals.
Biohaven Whistleblower: Praised, rewarded, protected.
State Whistleblower (Me): Ignored, silenced, retaliated against.
This proves Selective Enforcement. Tong uses the False Claims Act as a sword against private competitors to generate revenue and headlines, but grants "Sovereign Immunity" to state cronies like Sean Scanlon and Andrea Barton Reeves to protect the political machine.
Weaponization of the AG's Office
Tong didn't just ignore me; he attacked me. He deployed Assistant Attorney General Rebecca Quinn to defend the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) in CHRO Case No. 2510183.
The Act: AAG Quinn actively fought my request for ADA accommodations (video recording of meetings) and defended the state even after being notified that the CHRO had destroyed evidence (the "Hard Deletes" of February 2, 2024).
The Verdict: By using state resources to crush a pro se disabled litigant and defending known spoliation, Tong transformed the AG's office into a "Litigation Shield" for discrimination.
III. The Financial Firewall (2024–2026)
In the final phase, Tong became the linchpin of the financial cover-up.
The "No State Nexus" Lie (The $464k Theft)
On October 3, 2025, Tong’s Government Program Fraud Unit formally declined to investigate the theft of $464,408.26 from my Charter Oak account. Their justification? "No State Nexus."
Why This is a Lie:
The Funds were Medicaid Reimbursements: The stolen money was federal and state funding designated for the care of brain injury survivors.
The Theft was Systemic: It coincided with the "Ghost Registry" and the "MuckRock Retaliation."
The Audit Trail: The HHS OIG Audit A-01-22-00001 had already flagged these exact payment channels as vulnerable to fraud.
By claiming "No State Nexus," Tong effectively laundered the theft. He disconnected the crime from the state to prevent a forensic audit that would have exposed the "Civic-Political Interlock."
Protection of the "Spousal Nexus"
My investigation exposed that State Comptroller Sean Scanlon controls the state checkbook while his wife, Meghan Scanlon, runs the CT Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV)—a major recipient of the very funds he oversees.
The Conflict: Tong represents the Comptroller. Any investigation into this conflict of interest would require Tong to sue his own client.
The Choice: Structural conflict or public duty? Tong chose Political Preservation. He refuses to audit the "Non-Profit Industrial Complex" because it is the financial engine of his own political party.
IV. The Constitutional Crisis
The ultimate reason William Tong is the focus.
Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. § 4)
Federal law states that anyone who knows of the commission of a felony and does not report it to a judge or other authority is guilty of Misprision of Felony.
The Felonies: Wire Fraud ($464k theft), Mail Fraud, Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (Medicaid steering), and Obstruction of Justice (Spoliation).
The Knowledge: Tong’s office was formally notified via the "Comprehensive Grievance Report" (Nov 21, 2023) and subsequent legal filings.
The Crime: By burying these reports and refusing to refer them to the FBI, William Tong is arguably committing a federal crime to protect the state administration.
Nullification of the Supremacy Clause
By refusing to enforce the ADA, Section 504, and the Federal False Claims Act against state actors, William Tong has effectively declared that Connecticut state officials are immune to federal law. This is a direct violation of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. He has transformed the Attorney General's office into a "RICO Protection Racket" that insulates the "Civic-Political Interlock" from the United States Department of Justice.
Conclusion: The Gate Must Be Breached
We focus on William Tong not because he started the scam in 1997, but because he is the only reason it is still alive in 2026. He is the "Gatekeeper of Justice" who welded the gate shut to protect the political elite.
To the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the citizens of Connecticut: The Attorney General is not the solution. He is the problem.
