If the Somali fraudsters produced a Netflix special, the title would be “C.R.E.A.M.: Cash Rules Everything Around Minnesota.” And the center of this fraudulent universe might very well be Ilhan Omar. Once a woman with negative net worth is now listed as a multimillionaire in Congress. How coincidental that this multi‑billion‑dollar fraud scandal detonated in her own district.
Back in 2019, Omar’s financial disclosure looked like the starter pack of a millennial fresh outta college: more debt than dollars. Fast forward to 2024, and her household reports a combined net worth between $6 million and $30 million — a 3,500 percent increase. That’s not growth. That’s a financial supernova.
What changed? Two things:
One, the nearly mythical rise of Rose Lake Capital, the venture firm launched by her husband, former political consultant Tim Mynett. And two, one of the largest welfare fraud schemes in U.S. history — primarily among nonprofit and social‑services claims in Minnesota — exploded right under Omar’s watch.
From Zero to (According to Them) Sixty Billion Rose Lake Capital was worth basically zilch in 2023 — under $1,000 — according to Omar’s own disclosures. A year later, the firm’s reported value exploded into the multi‑million range and claimed to manage tens of billions in assets — the kind of figure that makes Wall Street lifers gasp into their monthly Bloomberg newsletters.
Then things got weird. As federal prosecutors charged dozens of people — nearly 90 individuals so far — in connection with Minnesota’s sprawling fraud investigations, Rose Lake quietly scrubbed the names of its leadership, including former Obama administration officials, from its website.
The timing wasn’t just odd. It was cinematic.
One week: federal indictments pile up. Then the next week: your firm removes all trace of the folks whose resumes once helped sell your credibility. Fishy?

CAN FREEZE HER PASSPORT SO SHE CANNOT BOLT???
Dream on. Her going to jail is fan fiction. She’s guilty as hell, but there is simply no way the judges would convict her. And any jury with any females or blacks will have at least one who votes not guilty.
Speaking of which, our useless government is to blame for this fiasco, along with our $42 billion deficit.
Claiming it all was “estimated preliminary non-adjusted clerical error, etc” may well be her out, regardless of any documentation already filed.
The media and Democrats, sorry to repeat myself, will buy it and so might most any jury. Reasonable doubt...
Omar...spit
Bing Crosby in the road to Somalia.
Will believe it when I see it.
I would be happy to get her citizenship revoked and then deported.
Good one. Merle Haggard’s “Sing Me Back Home’’ comes to mind.
Omar's oppression of America must be dismantled.
She is worth 30 million plus....where did it come from? Daycare kickbacks, etc.?
