Nick Shirley documents the fentanyl and homelessness crisis in downtown Seattle, filming open drug use around 3rd and Pike, Pike Place Market, and the Chinatown/12th and Jackson area, and interviewing addicts, outreach workers, a police chief, and a self-described former cartel middleman. The video focuses on the drug crisis rather than a specific government-program fraud, though one interviewee makes unverified conspiracy claims about CIA involvement and HUD-funded embezzlement.
Why it's not on the fraud stats: Off map: Seattle drug and homelessness crisis documentary.
Programs involved: HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development)
Figures below are claims made in the video, shown with the status stated there — this site does not verify them. Disclaimer

All figures are as stated in the video — most are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Every dollar figure links to the timestamp where it is said. Extraction QA: The single extracted claim is verbatim accurate and correctly classified as an alleged fraud amount. Entities are supported by the transcript, with the Catholic Community Services/LIHI entry being a reasonable reconstruction of the garbled 'Catholic community services leh High project.' The extraction appropriately marks the conspiracy claim as unverified/alleged.
