MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ten more people have been charged in connection with a scheme to steal more than $250 million from a federal program designed to provide meals to low-income children in Minnesota, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said in September that the conspiracy was the largest pandemic-related fraud scheme to date.
At the center of the plot, the indictments allege, was a Minnesota nonprofit called Feeding Our Future.
Prosecutors said just a fraction of the money went toward feeding kids, with the rest laundered through shell companies and spent on property, luxury cars and travel.
Luger said in September that a small group of people came up with the plan to exploit the relaxed rules and steal tens of millions of dollars by falsely claiming they were providing food to children. Others soon joined, and the scheme grew, Luger said.
On Monday, Luger said the defendants allegedly operated fraudulent food sites all around the state, including Pelican Rapids, Faribault, Burnsville, Minnetonka, Bloomington, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
He highlighted an indictment against a woman who claimed to serve 2,560 meals a day to children in Pelican Rapids, a town with a total population of only 2,500 people. The woman obtained about $3.7 million from the fraudulent sites she operated, Luger said.
Luger added that federal prosecutors in September had seized about $50 million worth of property fraudulently obtained by the defendants. “That number is over $66.6 million now -- and climbing,” he said.

What kind of state program or federal allows this crap. I am not surprised by anything under this idiot Biden. I believe it will take more than a vote to make our America the nation we grew up in and many we knew and served with died for. I want OUR America back.
In a Twin cities TV station’s website, they listed the perps...
Kawsar Jama, 41, of Eagan.
Abdikadir Kadiye, 51, of Minneapolis.
Abdulkadir Awale, 50, of Bloomington.
Khadra Abdi, 41, of Minneapolis.
Ayan Farah Abukar, 41, of Savage.
Sade Osman Hashi, 45, of Minneapolis.
Sharon Denise Ross, 52, of Big Lake.
Mohamed Ali Hussein, 53, of Faribault.
Lul Bashir Ali, 57, of Faribault.
Mulata Yusuf Ali, 38, of Minneapolis.
All except one are Somalis.
And we wonder HOW Omar got to the House of Representatives!!!
But quick! We have to cut medicare and social security to balance the budget.
It was a scam specifically set up to take advantage of no-rules covid pandemic money.
Sorry Lumper we ain’t goin’ back. We’ll be lucky just to survive.
“And we wonder HOW Omar got to the House of Representatives!!!”
From ‘82 to ‘13, I lived in the district that Omar now represents.
Yes, it’s completely true that the Somali community voted for Ilhan Omar with well over 90% of the vote.
But the people who pushed her thru the democrat primary were the white liberals. In that district, the white liberals are the ones who make or break a Democrat’s candidacy in a primary.
In her case, they are the ones to blame - just like they should be for all the other ills in society they have caused.
"$66.6"
Looking at the names listed in that document, they are mostly Somali names, and more than likely muzzies.
This is what happens anytime government assumes responsibility for parents.
Whut?
(Is this ilhan omar’s con district?)
The 87,000 IRS agents should focus their work on welfare fraud. Is the person real? Do they claim more benefits than they are entitled to? This would retain benefits for actual people in need and make sure funds are properly used.
