Two people have been charged with stealing millions of dollars in benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program out of a New York City bodega one of them owned.

Dawood Kassim, 31, and Dia Alqalisi, 26, allegedly made thousands of transactions through SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program, out of a bodega in Brooklyn that Kassim owned, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York said in a news release Tuesday.

They did not steal from the bodega. They stole from the government using the bodega as the conduit.

[zeestephen]

$20 million in Food Stamp fraud?

At one NYC bodega?

During an 8 month period?

What could possibly go wrong when you have hundreds of criminal accomplices?

“The arrests today should be a wakeup call to those who think government programs are a piggy bank they can pillage without fear of consequences,” he added.”

Unless you are a well connected politician, illegal alien, or welfare leech.

Why is it always names I can’t pronounce, and never “Smith” or “Jones?” I know- stupid question. Ellis ISLAND was a good idea before hard soil.
