Meet Minnesota's fraud ‘mastermind’ accused of playing ‘God,' wielding ‘fake' racism claims in Somali scandal
FoxNews ^ | 12/20/2025

The alleged "mastermind" behind Minnesota’s $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scandal tied to the Somali community is accused of wielding extraordinary power through threats and what the government described as "fake claims of racism."

Aimee Bock, who founded the Feeding Our Future nonprofit in 2016, used her growing authority to silence dissent, discourage scrutiny from state regulators and cut off operators who refused to comply, prosecutors said.

While other defendants splurged on luxury homes, cars and overseas property, prosecutors said, Bock instead controlled the levers of approval and reimbursement that allowed the scheme to flourish.

They found the white scapegoat so poor Somalis do not look bad and in fact are victims.

All of the monies are sent electronically so any recipient is easily found....confiscate anything of value and all associated sent back to the hell of somali land...they are hated by their neighboring countries /should tell you something within itself.

Government(s) give money to these so-called NGOs for ‘humanitarian’ work that never gets done. Instead these NGOs waste that money on humongous salaries and purchases of exotic cars and mansions, with little or none of the money going to whatever the stated purpose was.

Minnesota is just one state. Now multiply that fraud by 50 states, DC and a handful of territories like Puerto Rico.

These has been reported these same scams going on in Ohio, Maine and Massachusetts. I’m sure that there are many others doing the same exact thing in other states as well..............

She isn’t a “scapegoat,” she founded the whole thing.

Her boyfriend - if that is what he is- is named Empress Watson.

First guy I have ever heard of named Empress.

Nothing in the article implies the Somali associates are victims.

You are just upset that the press is reporting that some whites can sin as well as some Somalis.

Every “charity” and NGO who facilitated the Somali bums is guilty as well. They got billions perpetrating the fraud

What I do see is that when she started the charity she looked like a normal healthy young woman.

The charity ran OK, apparently, for several years.

And at some point that isn’t clear, or maybe she knew him from the beginning, she met a black guy with the girlish name.

The schemes she engaged in started in 2020-21 when Covid made it easier to get away with stuff.

It would be interesting to know when she met with this guy, who initially wasn’t charged despite having the patronage job, but now has tax evasion issues.

I am curious because in her current photos she looks to have become a meth addict, and am wondering who her supplier is.

The Somalis are trying to play the victim but they were by their own admission willing to submit to her alleged demands to get the money.

That isn’t what you do when your charity is blackmailed.

You tell the extortionist to go pound sand, report the threats and let the chips fall where they fall.
