Muhammed Farooq, 49, of Somerset, was charged
with money laundering for allegedly allowing more
than $5 million in fraudulent food stamp transactions
to go on at businesses he owned in Essex and Union
counties.
I believe stories like this are legion across the US, screwing the taxpayers. As funds dry up, look for more to be nailed.
Doesn’t sound like his stores are part of DOLLAR TREE.
I go to Dollar Tree because they seem to be pro-America culture, tend to have books written by Conservatives and great deals on Bibles and Christian books. Everything for a dollar!

Farooq? Didn’t a Farooq come over on the Mayflower?
Before I saw the name or face I guessed, “from Pakistan” but turns out he’s from Somerset. Bigotry will lead you into error every time.
I wonder what religion old Muhammed follows? Religion of Piece?
There are lots of ways to get away with this, as long as you don’t get too greedy.
He will get 2 weeks probation. He will promise to never do it again. He will do it again.
PAKISTANI, yup.
Did you know even the Pakistan Minister of Transportation 2 years ago claimed on his taxes that he owned NO AUTOMOBILE...?
The overwhelming view in Pakistan is that obeying any law is for stupid people or small people.
It does not surprise me that they import that idea.
Muhammed.
Now there’s a name you can trust.
If he’s guilty, the authorities who handed our deits card that make this fraud easy are even more guilty. He shouldn’t have done what he did but if the government can’t be bothered to limit use either electronically or by going back to those old, embarrassing actual food stamps who’s really to blame here?
I’m so surprised.
We should be kicking all of these people out of OUR country.
So ya think that’s because Mu is a Muzzie, huh? I think that it’s because free money from the gummint!
