"Fraud? What Fraud?" Update 3November2026

Someone is going to prison:

Some media folk have lost interest in frauds against taxpayers except as a tale of Republicans pouncing on Democratic policy failures. But there’s still some actual news occurring, including in the land of 10,000 fakes.

The Associated Press reported last week from Minneapolis:

A man who played a major role in defrauding a federal food program in Minnesota was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison, the latest punishment in a sprawling scheme to collect millions of dollars during the COVID-19 pandemic by claiming to have fed needy children…

Salim Said operated Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis, which specialized in dishes from Somalia. He was accused of vastly overstating the number of meals when seeking payment for providing food. The government said he was responsible for $44 million in fraud, some of which was committed by others he recruited.

“You took more than taxpayers’ dollars to enrich yourself. You took the reputation of our state down with you,” U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel said.

Said was claiming a “ridiculous daily distribution of 6,000 meals” while FBI cameras showed 40 people a day collecting food, prosecutors said in a court filing.

How was Said able to get away with such blatant fraud? The AP explains:
COVID-19 brought changes to a federal program that typically fed children through schools. Restaurants could participate, and food distribution was extended to places outside schools.

“For 21 consecutive months, Said made thousands of fraudulent reimbursement claims, day after day, month after month,” prosecutors said. “Each submission represented meals purportedly provided to underprivileged children, yet the listed children themselves were entirely fictitious.”

… Said was convicted of a raft of charges in 2025, along with Aimee Bock, the leader of a Minnesota nonprofit, Feeding Our Future… State auditors found that the Minnesota Department of Education received numerous complaints about Feeding Our Future, but often told the group to police itself...

...Omar was instrumental in loosening the laws that set the stage for the scheme — first by introducing the MEALS Act to Congress in March 2020, which allowed the US Department of Agriculture to issue waivers of school-meal requirements during the pandemic.

The waivers dramatically eased oversight of the federal programs by allowing restaurants to participate without any of the usual site inspections.

Omar would personally step in whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue, Bock alleged.

I'm amazed by the folks that are okay with the massive fraud in Minnesota....Not a peep of protest, just disdain for anyone who uncovers it.

The record in Minnesota is not great:

In Minnesota, convicted fraudsters often end up with no felonies on their records​


In news conferences, legislative hearings and testimony to Congress, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has said his office has won more than 300 convictions against Medicaid fraudsters since he took office six years ago.

The AG’s office is responsible for prosecuting those cases in Minnesota, using a small team of attorneys and investigators in the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit or MFCU.

But a 5 INVESTIGATES analysis of those cases found that only a portion of those charged with felony-level fraud ended up with a felony on their record.

Using state court records, 5 INVESTIGATES identified more than 250 Medicaid fraud cases where the defendant pleaded guilty. Plea agreement and sentencing documents revealed nearly 80% of the offenders received sentences that would reduce or dismiss the felony conviction after probation.

Well isn’t that something. Of course, nothing coming out of MN is totally surprising.

I think it's worse than that. I think that the politicians in Minnesota not only don't care, but that they are benefitting through kickbacks and campaign donations to look the other way.

Not just Minnesota. Texas politicians are getting kick backs from Somali daycare fraudsters, trans operation surgeons, Muslim terrorists, gay converting college professors, and black welfare queens.

That may very well be, but I haven't seen any coverage yet. I'm sure a lot of states have this problem.
