美国司法部北卡罗来纳东区联邦检察官办公室（EDNC）10 月 13 日发布新闻稿：该办公室 10 月 5 日（周一）在北卡罗来纳州罗利举办第五届年度经济犯罪峰会（Economic Crimes Summit），司法部国家欺诈执法司（National Fraud Enforcement Division，NFED）助理总检察长科林·M·麦克唐纳（Colin M. McDonald）任主旨演讲者，与北卡东区联邦检察官埃利斯·博伊尔（Ellis Boyle）共同聚焦全国与地方层面此前被忽视的全国性大规模欺诈计划。
新闻稿称，国际政府与帮派、地方与全国犯罪集团及个人犯罪者持续利用政府项目、金融系统和弱势人群，美国民众的财务损失不断上升；峰会旨在让合作机构交流信息、接受专项培训并获得工作重点指导。出席者包括 175 多家主要合作机构代表，含联邦调查局（FBI）、国税局刑事调查局（IRS-CI）、国土安全调查局（HSI）、卫生与公众服务部、退伍军人事务部监察长办公室、北卡州调查局（SBI）、州公路巡警（SHP）、农业部与州保险部等。

DOJ Hosts Fifth Annual Economic Crimes Summit in Raleigh; Fraud Enforcement Division in Focus
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina hosted the fifth annual Economic Crimes Summit in Raleigh on Monday, October 5, according to a Department of Justice press release issued October 13. Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department's National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) delivered the keynote, joining U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle in focusing on previously overlooked nationwide mass fraud schemes at the national and local levels.
The release said international governments and gangs, local and national criminal groups and individual offenders continue to exploit government programs, financial systems and vulnerable people, driving rising financial losses for Americans; the summit let partner agencies share information, receive specialized training and get guidance on priorities. More than 175 primary agency partners attended, including the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, HHS, the VA Office of Inspector General, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the State Highway Patrol (SHP), the USDA and the state Department of Insurance.
"Our fraud mission is national in scope but local in execution," McDonald said, crediting the collaborative efforts of the partners at the summit. Boyle said fraudsters steal taxpayer dollars, undermine trust in public programs and target some of the most vulnerable citizens in Eastern North Carolina, adding: "if you steal taxpayer dollars in the EDNC, we will find you, we will prosecute you." The release closed with his line: "One diverted penny is too much."
The release noted the NFED was created by the Justice Department in early 2026, with President Donald J. Trump announcing its formation in January 2026 and giving it a broad mandate to enforce federal criminal and civil laws against fraud targeting federal programs, federally funded benefits, businesses, nonprofits and private citizens; its mission includes investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer funds and programs, coordinating with benefits-administering agencies, partnering with federal, tribal, state, territorial and local law enforcement, and developing systems and processes for efficient fraud detection.
