Ringleader of $250M Minnesota welfare fraud scandal ordered by judge to forfeit Porsche, luxury goods
NY Post ^ | 12/06/25 | Victor Nava

The founder of an infamous Minnesota-based nonprofit convicted of hatching a $250 million welfare fraud scheme was ordered by a judge last week to forfeit her Porsche, designer handbags and millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.

Aimee Bock, the 44-year-old mastermind behind the Feeding our Future scandal, was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy in connection to the nation’s largest COVID-19 fraud scheme.

Bock, who along with dozens of predominantly Somali co-conspirators pilfered pandemic relief funds from a federal program meant to feed hungry children in need, is awaiting sentencing for her lead role in the scandal.

A federal judge issued a preliminary court order on Dec. 30 compelling Bock, who is not Somali, to give up an astounding amount of cash and several of her prized possessions.

Bock was ordered to forfeit about $5.2 million in funds from her personal nonprofit bank accounts, her Porsche Panamera, some 60 laptops, iPads and iPhones, a diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings, and her Louis Vuitton purse and backpack, according to multiple outlets.

One for each scam or what, I wonder.

“pilfered”

Nothing to see here, folks. Just some small time “pilfering” of $250 million.

Now, when we get to the $9 BILLION, well, vocabulary may change a smidgeon.

Aimee is probably kicking herself for thinking so small.

"Bock was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy."

Fun while it lasted wasn't it? Heartbreaking to give up those designer handbags. Judge really knows how to hurt a girl.

Aimee Bock was tried and convicted, found guilty in March 2025 on all counts related to her role as the mastermind and executive director of the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. This scheme, which involved dozens of Somalis, used a federal child nutrition program to steal tax dollars.

When state govt regulators grew suspicious and attempted to halt the flow of tax dollars, Bock’s Somali-ridden organization filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging “Somali racial discrimination,” which temporarily prevented the state from stopping reimbursements and allowed the scheme to escalate.


The Fraud Scheme Details Role of Aimee Bock:

Bock, who is not Somali, was the founder and executive director of the non-profit “Feeding Our Future”. Prosecutors described her as the ringleader of the operation that exploited a federal program, meant to feed needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic, for personal gain. She oversaw a system that submitted fraudulent reimbursement claims and fake documentation for millions of meals that were never served.

Collusion and Co-conspirators: The fraud involved many individuals operating various food sites, including a co-defendant, Salim Said (co-owner of Safari Restaurant), who was also convicted on all counts. Testimony from witnesses, including a Somali refugee who made $5 million in the scheme, indicated Bock encouraged the expansion of food sites to collect more federal dollars.

The overall case has resulted in charges against approximately 78 defendants, with over 57 convictions so far, many of whom are from the Somali community.

Method of Operation: Bock and her co-conspirators created falsified paperwork to falsely claim 91 million meals served to children.

When state regulators grew suspicious and attempted to halt the flow of funds, Bock’s organization filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging “racial discrimination,” which temporarily prevented the state from stopping reimbursements and allowed the scheme to escalate.

Bock’s Personal Benefit and Forfeiture: Bock personally benefited from the fraud, and a judge has approved a preliminary order for her to forfeit assets worth about $5.2 million, including cash, a 2013 Porsche, and luxury items.

The money was allegedly used for lavish lifestyles, including international travel, real estate purchases in the US and overseas, and luxury vehicles.

Aimee Bock was convicted of colluding with many individuals of Somali descent, to orchestrate one of the largest pandemic-era fraud schemes in the United States.

When evidence surfaced of rampant tax fraud in fake Somali tax-subsidized
daycares, Aimee Bock’s name appeared in 47 separate daycare rip-offs.

Message: Democrat state officials from Minnesota to Washington to Maine rush to conduct cover-ups and threaten tax-paying citizens exposing Somali govt fraud. Its time for these Democrat officials to be charged with malfeasance in public office.

Democrats in official positions promise “to protect” thieving Somalis from investigations and enforcement.They are obstructing ICE. The Democrat officials say “doxxing, harassment, and hate” describe citizen investigations of massive Somali tax dollar frauds.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown should be charged with malfeasance. Brown has been colluding with Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie on its federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, raising ethics concerns.
