Alternative media outlets have spotlighted the Somalia money laundering, tax evasion, and financing of illicit activities that mainstream news sources have ignored. Their investigations reveal elaborate scams within Minnesota's Somali community, spanning child nutrition, autism therapy, housing stabilization, and child-care programs, and exposing the loss of billions in taxpayer dollars.
An often-overlooked aspect of racketeering involves Hawala dealers, a money-transfer system that allows Somalis to send funds locally and internationally. These dealers also offer money orders, debit card issuance, and check cashing, providing anonymity and requiring minimal documentation. Such money transmitters create opportunities for fraud and money laundering.
When the first indictments were announced in 2022 for the Somali Feed Our Future nonprofit, I thoroughly analyzed the audited financial statements and 990 tax returns. After studying material for irregularities, I filed a complaint with the Minnesota Accountancy Board against Charles Amevo (unindicted co-conspirator) for multiple violations of the AICPA professional and audit standards. The complaint also mentioned that Amevo had failed to conduct a required Single Audit of the federal grants.
After the convictions were announced last June, the Minnesota Accountancy Board issued its decision regarding my complaint against Amevo. Amevo lost his CPA license, was fined $20,000, and had to inform management that the audit results for his six other clients, Somali money transfer businesses, were no longer valid.
The six companies are registered with the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). However, Section 7.02 requires money transmitters to maintain current audited financial statements. Since the audit opinions have been withdrawn, the six entities are now noncompliant and in violation of their surety bond requirements. Below is a summary of the six money transfer companies, including links to their NMLS registrations and websites. Note how they rebrand their businesses as a possible evasion tactic.[Table at link]

It looks like the top levels of state government KNEW and covered it up. It must have been a difficult job to cover up all of the Somali fraud.
The Islamic money transfer pipeline. Economic jihad.
Hawala dealers team player made no reports ?.
Time to lock Tiny Timmy Tampon Twinkletoes up with his Sammy Somali Tamale family of friends. They are all crooks.
The IRS should be auditing these money changers and their clients for tax fraud
Now we know why Harris picked Walz for VP.
They had to COVER UP what is coming to light now before the entire nation.
