Forty-seven individuals, primarily in Minneapolis, Minnesota’s large Somali community, have been charged for their roles in allegedly stealing $250 million in COVID-19 federal funds meant for a child nutrition program.
According to federal prosecutors, the 47 individuals charged across six indictments and three criminal informations committed conspiracy, wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering when they defrauded millions from the Federal Child Nutrition Program during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, the 47 individuals allegedly used COVID-19 changes to the Federal Child Nutrition Program to oversee the massive fraud scheme via the Minneapolis-based Feeding Our Future and the for-profit restaurants as well as the food distribution services sponsored by the nonprofit.
In 2019, Feeding Our Future received and disbursed about $3.4 million in federal funds to feed underprivileged children in the Minneapolis area. By 2021, the nonprofit had received almost $200 million in federal funds.
The scheme included Feeding Our Future allegedly claiming to open more than 250 Federal Child Nutrition Program sites across the state of Minnesota. Most of the 47 individuals claimed to operate these sites by filing fraudulent documents purporting to be feeding children, prosecutors allege.
Feeding Our Future executives, prosecutors claim, knew all along that the fraud was taking place but continued to submit fraudulent documents to secure Federal Child Nutrition Program funds for the sites claiming to be feeding children.
In the process, Feeding Our Future was paid more than $18 million in administrative fees and employees of the nonprofit allegedly accepted bribes and kickbacks. When Minnesota regulators sought to provide oversight to the operation, a Feeding Our Future executive claimed the state was discriminating against the nonprofit.

Article never mentioned what happened to the money. Is that the democrats method of money laundering? Use illegals to obtain and disperse the money, then deport the witnesses?
This is my shocked face
Send them all back. The Int’l Red Cross won’t even go into Somalia. Worst scumbag country on the planet.
and then execute them and dump them overboard once well beyond the international waters border...
would be curious to know how many were white...
how many of them were brothers, husbands, or both to ilhan omar?
interesting that it seems like none of the bankers that handled the money we indicted?
something that big had to turn up on CTR or STRs like a sore thumb.
This will probably be seen as hateful and narrow-minded, but I have to ask anyway. How can there be a need to fund a ‘Federal Child Nutrition Program’ to feed ‘underprivileged’ children in Minnesota?
Poor kids get at least two meals a day as part of the school-lunch program and many schools send poor kids home on the weekends with ‘back packs’ so they don’t starve while dependent on their parents to feed them. If the schools are on summer or Wuhan break, they bus meals out to everyone under 18. Then there is the Food Stamp/SNAP program that is put in place to see that poor families have enough to eat.
And for those who run through their month-long benefit in two weeks there are Food Banks that distribute food as well as other charities.
How is it possible that so many children fall between the cracks that $200,000,000 is needed, in just one state, to keep them from going hungry?
Muslim Invaders just doing the Looting Americans wont do anymore.
GH Bush admin Brought this Nightmare Utterly corrupt Muslim Savages to our country .
The damage the Bushes legacy to our country is unreal.
Exactly. Minnesota’s communitarian tendencies trace back to the Scandinavians who settled the area. It was a high trust culture and the idea was that you didn’t abuse the social safety net. But of course to the Somalis it just looks like easy pickings — a system run by chumps practically begging to be ripped off.
And this will keep on happening as long as these filth are allowed to stay in our country
My family was once filth here. Back around 1630. I’m trying to get back to that. 😂✌
This is not the first time for fraud. There was a big fraud including day cares years back, and they made so much money they were sending it to fighters in Somalia.
Chump change!! No doubt about Omar but Jayapal is from the state of WA..They spread their corruption far and wide and do it under the guise of “representing” the voters.
Maybe they are.
It’s the way of life where they came from and no interest in learning to live any other way - not when they can get away with their corruption and criminal ways.
But we won't. Nothing will happen.
If I pulled this stunt, I'd be in prison.
That pretty much died away from the news, didn’t it? Funny how that happens!!! Someone made sure it stayed out of the public eye.
my bet is that a significant amount of that ended up in the pockets of Omar and Ellis, and probably other members of the squad.
“Any bets that the bulk of that (99-percent) will never be recovered?”
No thanks insofar as the taxpayers ever seeing a penny, but I’ll bet that a sizable percentage has been “recovered” by politicians and “public employees”.
We will never hear this from the main stream media. They will hide this and just be very generic in the discussion on the theft of the money.
