Federal authorities unveiled charges against 47 people Tuesday accused of siphoning $250 million from a coronavirus pandemic relief program designed to provide meals for children in the largest pandemic-related fraud scheme brought so far by the Justice Department.

....The Minnesota non-profit, according to court documents, redirected money provided by the Federal Child Nutrition Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to provide free meals to children in need.

Federal prosecutors said the operation was allegedly overseen by Aimee Bock, founder and executive director of the local non-profit, whose federal aid disbursements dramatically increased from $3.4 million in 2019 to nearly $200 million in 2021.

They created shell companies. I'm surprised it's in Minnesota and not Delaware which is simply a shell state.
 
Me, too. This is why we can't have nice things.
