They said they were feeding 4,000-6,000 kids a day. They only averaged 40 people during 6 weeks

They created fake names and invoices, Minneapolis Department of Education was aware and did nothing

“The FBI installed a surveillance camera overlooking this building just off Lake Street in Minneapolis. At the time, it was Safari Restaurant, which overall took in $12 million in federal child meal payments — Safari claimed to feed 4,000 to 6,000 kids a day. Its invoices and meal counts shown to the jury alongside the video.

Was a part of this.

Aimee Bock, founder & director of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was convicted in a $250 MILLION pandemic fraud scheme. Bock & her co-defendant, Salim Said, were found guilty of wire fraud, conspiracy, bribery, & money laundering in March 2025. Fraud was submitting false claims for meals that were never served, funds used to buy luxury items & real estate. Bock’s trial drew national attention due to an attempted juror bribery & witness tampering. 70 individuals were charged in total, 45 already convicted as of April 2025. This is the largest fraud scheme against COVID-19 relief programs in the USA.

Cut off everything and let the Doge geniuses monitor every re-application.


Even old level-headed democrats could get behind that right?

If Trump 2.0 wants to find a few hundred billion of fraud/theft they should go back and look at the trillions of dollars thrown out during the Covid-19 Hysteria Psyop. There were thousands of small businesses who didn't miss a beat and still qualified through a bit of inventive quarterly accounting to qualify for PPP.

Guess where that money went? Right back to the domestic terror organization that is the demon party.

PS - Nothing will happen.

And yet another reason why prepared meals should not be eligible for SNAP or any other Federal funding...

If Somalians were half as good at running their own country as they are at ripping off the US Government/taxpayers, Somalia would be Wakanda.

I think crimes that knowingly and willingly defraud the taxpayer should carry a mandatory life sentence with no eligibility for parole.

They effectively steal from millions of people, the sentence should reflect that.

I think this is something every voter can agree on and would support. This would nip stuff like this in the bud.

Liberals one minute:
“You MAGAts juat want kids to go hungry!! More money in programs now!!! They need more funds!!!”

Liberals the next minute:
“Ahh. We can let them steal millions of federal food assistance dollars. This is payback for so much oppression and bigotry. Let’s turn our eyes away from this.”
