Prosecutors accuse Kenyan Francis Mogambi and associates of stealing Americans’ identities to enroll fictitious students and divert aid. Five indictments have been issued, with 40 investigations still open. Some 830,840 potentially fraudulent aid IDs were linked to nearly $130m, a figure that does not represent confirmed losses.
