Report: Minnesota’s Somali Fraudsters Paid for Lamborghini, Rolls Royce Rentals, Luxury Resort in Kenya with Stolen Money
Breitbart ^ | 01/04/2026 | AMY FURR

Posted on 01/04/2026 4:04:29 PM PST by SmokingJoe

Some of the Minnesota Somalians convicted in the Feeding Our Future scheme reportedly enjoyed luxurious lifestyles with money stolen from the federal government, the news coming as the state is under scrutiny regarding more alleged fraud.

The fraudsters stole hundreds of millions of dollars in federal COVID relief money and apparently used it to fund lavish lifestyles and not feed needy children, the New York Post reported Saturday.

Their rich lifestyles included condos, luxury cars, and real estate in Kenya, the outlet said, citing court documents.

ne of those involved, 43-year-old Liban Yasin Alishire, who pleaded guilty in 2023 to wire fraud and money laundering, spent $350,000 of the money on a resort in Kenya where guests can hire a personal chef during their stay.

The Post also noted:

Aimee Bock, who prosecutors said masterminded the fraud operation, was a sugar mama to her former boyfriend, Empress Malcolm Watson Jr., paying him a $1 million salary as part of a phony contract and spending lavishly while bamboozling the public money.

The couple rented Lamborghinis, Rolls Royce’s, and other exotic cars luxury cars for $2,000 per day, on their trips, according to court documents.

They also routinely took lavish vacations to Las Vegas and Graceland, with Watson Jr. flaunting his stolen wealth on social media.

Even allowing a thought to cross your mind of this, let alone complaining out loud, is terribly racist. /S

And they took out Democrat lawmaker Melissa Hortman because she was a problem.

Too poverty stricken to buy their own and have them shipped there for their stay? May as well ask them to ride buses or hitch rides.

It is now believed to be a myth that along with American steakhouse steaks, various candies and Coca-Cola, that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor paid for American hot dogs to be air shipped to them in Europe.

But the American actors Barbara Bain and Martin Landau said while starring in Space: 1999 that they missed American hot dogs while in England. "The hot dogs here are grey."

That is someone’s theory. No evidence to support it so far.

True, but democrats have made a name for themselves by standing with gang members, criminals, dope pushers, people who sexually mutilate children, illegals, and terrorists... They also received major ‘donations’ from Minnesota Somalis... Seems logical they’ve been raiding the coffers of their ‘pity party’ victim groups too. USAid or whatever the name was of that slush fund group Trump closed down...

Photos....

So when you think about it, one group lived a life of lavish luxury, not working, floating in a swimming pool and eating chef prepared meals, and another group worked 5 days a week all year, paying taxes to support the other group.

So which one is smart and which is dumb?

Despite the average IQ of 67.67 to 84 for the freeloaders.
