MINNEAPOLIS — Last year, with the federal government making available huge new sums of money for programs to feed needy children during the pandemic, a nonprofit organization called Advance Youth Athletic Development set up what it described as an enormous child care operation in northeast Minneapolis that could prepare 5,000 dinners each weeknight.
Based on the group’s claims, the State of Minnesota channeled $3.2 million of the federal food aid to the program.
But on a subzero morning in January, the F.B.I. carried out a series of predawn raids around the region. It revealed a sprawling investigation into Advance Youth Athletic Development and other groups like it — and the much larger nonprofit organization, Feeding Our Future, that was responsible for ensuring that the money provided to the smaller groups was spent properly.
In court filings, the F.B.I. said it had discovered a “massive fraud scheme” among groups that Feeding Our Future was supposed to oversee, saying they siphoned off tens of millions of dollars by charging taxpayers for nonexistent meals.

Raids revealed an investigation?
Who wrote this? A Special Ed class?
Start with a search for Aimee Bock.
ANY Democrat run program of any kind is by definition a massive fraud.
We already know the culprits were Somalian’s. This is Omar’s people.
Look up Aimee Bock.
Can’t recall for sure, but I recall seeing a similar story out Minnesota a few months ago. The culprits were Somali immigrants.
Must have been tipped off to something run by Republicans.

OK, case closed...no fraud found and no charges will be filed.
The FBI is just figuring this out now?
Gee, I wonder who was running the Advance Youth Athletic Development program?
That's for sure. Somalians are like Gypsies, involved in every kind of scam imaginable. They are particularly adept at gaming the system. Somalians are regular caught fleeing the country with hundreds of thousands of dollars stuffed into suitcases. Somalians never saw a government program which they couldn't exploit.
One of the worst mistakes we ever made was letting in Somalians. They are going to be a perpetual tumor upon America.
Freepers, Creepers, where did you get those Peepers!
“One of the worst mistakes we ever made was letting in Somalians. They are going to be a perpetual tumor upon America.”
Absolutely correct.

Lotsa Somalis in Minneapolis. They are masters at taking your tax dollars.
Feeding our Future – a Twin Cities nonprofit which claimed to be feeding tens of thousands of hungry children – has dissolved, as the organization faces a federal investigation into an alleged large-scale fraud scheme.
In January, federal agents executed search warrants on more than a dozen properties connected to the nonprofit, as FBI warrants alleged a pattern of deception, money laundering and fraud. Investigators said almost none of the money went towards feeding children and instead had been laundered through shell organizations before it was spent on cars and luxury properties.

the Big Guy not gettin’ his piece of the action...
“The nonprofit was founded in 2017, and went from taking $2.9 million in federal funding to more than $197 million in 2021.”
Man oh man...Where does all the money come from? Our pockets.
