Minnesota officials saw signs of massive fraud even before COVID hit. Shocker.

Pathetic—stealing billions in shadows.
Initially estimated at around $250 million in 2022 but now ballooning to potentially $8 billion in total losses, according to recent whistleblower claims and investigations. The scheme allegedly involved fake meal sites, kickbacks, and misuse of federal COVID-era funds, with over 70 defendants (many Somalis) charged so far.
In July 2019, Minnesota officials identified early signs of a massive fraud scheme involving the Feeding Our Future charity, which would eventually result in over $1 billion in taxpayer money being stolen. Despite initial concerns, state officials faced pressure from the charity's leaders to halt their inquiries. The scheme, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, involved false claims of serving millions of meals and was primarily funded by federal dollars intended for vulnerable populations.
