Federal attorneys in Minnesota have indicted ten more individuals in the ever-expanding Feeding Our Future scandal.  U. S. Attorney, Andrew Luger, stated, “Our work is not done and we expect to bring more charges in the future’ To date $66 million has been seized by Federal authorities but this is only a fraction of the estimated $250 million fraud.

The scam was revealed when investigations confirmed that Kawsar Jama of Eagan, MN was accused of falsely claiming that 1.5 million meals were served to children under the nonprofit Feeding Our Future program during the COVID period.  To date, 60 people have been charged in the conspiracy to defraud the Federal government and additional charges will be issued. Currently six of those indicted have pleaded guilty.

The case indicates that when vast sums of money are made available by federal or state governments under emergency conditions, unscrupulous individuals take advantage of the lack of oversight. Ultimately justice prevails.
