¡Adios, amigo!
A single count means he’ll be out starting another scam in 18 months.
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of prison.
Sounds EXACTLY like the scam moslems were running in Baltimore, except that were scamming MILLIONS!
Are you serious? Like this is a big deal? It has been happening forever and is very widespread. Until the government understands this is just the tip of an iceberg that they accidently stumbled into it will continue. I use to work for the Stageof Florida Dept of Children and Families (the food stamp man as I was often called) and the level of fraud has not changed. The hopes that EBT cards would help were quickly extinguished as criminals always find a way to change the benefit to cash to get their next fix. Until massive investigations take place with well publicized fines and jail time for both the bussiness and the reciptient occur it will continue. More tax payer money down the drain and into the veins of Americans with much of the money winding up south up the border.

"As authorities investigated a cartel-linked drug group, they developed a source with links to the market. The source told the detective that he was regularly wiring money to a Mexican cartel via the market, working to pay off a $67,000 debt. He told investigators the market was a front, paying discounted rates for food stamp cards.
SNIP
It was as authorities began to look into the wire transfers that things got interesting. They all seemed to trace back to one or two accounts in Mexico City. Cooperating with Mexican Authorities, it soon became apparent exactly what the laundered money was being used to finance.
“Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas,” authorities reported. “Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen and has lived in Mexico for more than a year,” according to information provided to Judicial Watch by a source identified only as “a high-ranking Homeland security official in a border state.”
According to the intelligence, Khabir now provides training to thousands of jihadis – mostly from Syria and Yemen – at a base in near Ciudad Juarez, which is located just across the border from El Paso, Texas. “Staking out U.S. targets is not difficult, and Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he ‘could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours.’”
How many more stores in Irvington, NJ are practicing this scam? Then again, how many in the entire US? It’s a boatload of money being lost.
And maybe as part of Trump’s negotiations with Mexico we can obtain the authority to attack Jihad camps there with no prior notice to Mex authorities.
Almost 1 million dollars for just ONE person defrauding the government. Can you imagine how much money is actually wasted or stolen?
Tip of the iceberg.

Mexicans and mussies...who knew?
This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. If one id doing it, there are probably hundreds doing it. This is exactly why this heartless conservative voted for Donald J, Trump.
PING!!!

Thanks, COBOL2Java
And how many more operations like this are ongoing?
And, heigh-ho, there goes the deficit!
But remember, “doing the jobs Americans won’t do” in order to re-fund Social(ist) (In)Security for all the children aborted by the Nasty Women who just marched on DC...
It makes one wonder why certain Republican law makers in Texas are opposed to building a border fence.
