Ahhh damn! Just two kids tryin to get along. /s
"Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf"?
They must have just stepped off the Mayflower.
These are “residents”.
What about the business people AND politicians who were involved AND received kickbacks?
When will we see Ilhan Omar sentenced and sent to jail until the day she dies?
I agree. What amazes me is the Minnesota assholes that farm and put up with this💩. WTF?
Boy, did these people get sold a bill of goods. They thought that this was called “The Land of Opportunity”.
Do I really need an </s>
The least they could have done was buy a new towel for their head.
i just dont understand how Minnesota can be that far out of whack in how they vote so democrat.. Minn/St Paul are really not that big. Surrounded by both Dakotas and Iowa. And they elect far left extreme nut cases no less. Just dont understand the rest of the state, why they put up with this craziness.
The scale of the exposed waste, fraud and abuse of Democrat welfare programs is a great issue for Republicans. Vance is doing a great job keeping it in the headlines. Every Somali pirate exposed is another 10,000 votes for Republicans.
The happy crook.
The “$21 million scam” is a subset of a much larger, sprawling federal program fraud in Minnesota, often centered around the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, where numerous individuals—of Somali descent—falsely claimed to be feeding children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
While early reports focused on various actors, specific cases involve multiple individuals acting in concert to fabricate documentation.
For example, two individuals, Aisha Hassan Hussein and her co-conspirators, were involved in a $2.2 million scheme under this umbrella.
Another example involved Abdirashid Bixi Dool, who received $1.1 million for faking meals.
However, the “two somalis” mentioned likely refers to key participants in specific connected schemes, such as Hassan Ahmed Hussein and Ahmed Abdirashid Mohamed, who were charged with using their company, Pristine Health LLC, to defraud a separate housing program.
Here is how the broader scam and specific, smaller schemes (like the $1M–$5M subsets) were pulled off:
1. Creating Shell Companies and Nonprofits
Participants set up dozens of shell companies (e.g., United Youth of MPLS LLC, Stigma-Free Mankato).They registered these companies with the state to act as meal distribution sites or providers of social services.Many of these sites were set up quickly and claimed to serve thousands of meals daily, far exceeding their actual capability.
2. Fabricating Documentation and Invoices
They submitted fraudulent invoices to Feeding Our Future and the Minnesota Department of Education for meals that were never served.
They created fake rosters listing children who did not exist or were not attending the sites to justify the numbers.Some providers, such as those in the “Autism fraud scheme,” falsified treatment records to bill for services not rendered.
3. Using “Hawalas” to Transfer Funds Overseas
Prosecutors allege that stolen funds were laundered using “hawalas,” which are informal, trust-based money transfer systems, to move money overseas, potentially to Somalia.This method allows money to cross borders without using traditional banking, making it harder to trace.
4. Spending on Personal Luxury
The money was not used for the intended, vulnerable populations. Instead, it was laundered to buy luxury cars, real estate in Minnesota, and luxury items in Dubai.
5. Exploiting Regulatory Weaknesses
The scams were aided by a lack of oversight from state agencies that did not immediately verify the invoices.In some instances, participants filed lawsuits alleging discrimination to avoid tighter scrutiny.
As of late 2025/early 2026, 87 people have been charged, and over 60 have pleaded guilty or been convicted in these scams, which federal authorities have called one of the largest pandemic-era fraud schemes in the US.
I hate to be so judgmental, but if they’re as attractive from the neck down as they appear to be from the neck up then maybe I’d give them a lift if they were hijabless, wearing halter tops, hot pants and platform shoes.
The crafty Somalis Exploited Regulatory Weaknesses——
<><>did they have “help”?
<><>Did “someone” point out how to exploit statutory fraud triggers?
Moreover, The scams were aided by a “lack of oversight” from Tim Walz’s
state agencies.............the state did not verify the Somali thieves’ invoices.
In some instances, Somali thieves filed lawsuits alleging
“discrimination”........a scheme to avoid tighter scrutiny.

DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!
and when does the mayor and governor get indicted for knowing and allowing and profiting from all this
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has not been indicted or charged with a crime in connection to the “Feeding Our Future” fraud case or related, widespread fraud in Minnesota social service programs.
The scandal has led to significant scrutiny and legal action regarding his administration’s oversight:
Congressional Probe: A House committee launched an investigation into the fraud, accusing Walz’s administration of failing to act on early warnings and ignoring reports of widespread fraud.
Whistleblower Allegations: Reports surfaced alleging that state officials under Walz silenced or retaliated against employees who raised concerns about the fraud.
“Feeding Our Future” Scandal: Federal prosecutors labeled the case—which involved stolen money meant for food-aid—as one of the nation’s largest pandemic-era fraud schemes.
While over 70 Somalis and other people were charged and dozens pleaded guilty, Walz himself has not been implicated in doing anything illegal, though critics label his administration’s inaction as negligent.
Escalating Fraud Issues: As of early 2026, additional investigations were ongoing, with claims that hundreds of millions more in taxpayer funds were lost to fraud across various Minnesota programs, prompting accusations from political opponents that the administration enabled the theft.
Walz has stated he takes responsibility for the failures of his administration but has maintained there was no malfeasance by state employees.
