Minnesota Somali Fraud: 'Mastermind' gets over 41-year prison sentence for $250M theft scheme

A judge on Thursday handed down an extraordinary prison sentence — nearly 42 years — to the former leader of a Minnesota nonprofit who was convicted in a staggering $250 million fraud case that helped ignite an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration. Aimee Bock ran Feeding Our Future, which had claimed it helped provide millions of meals to children in need during the pandemic. The U.S. Justice Department, however, said she was at the top of the “single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.”
