It's guaranteed that ANY government program that simply pays invoices for products or services will be subject to fraud from day one. It's naive to create any such system without the necessary rigorous checks and balances to properly vet all payment requests.
The article says that the fraud was so systematic and widespread that the state of Minnesota had to shut the entire program down. That's how bad it was.
