Dept. of Agriculture @USDA - Justice Served: Ringleader of Massive $250M Child Nutrition Fraud Sentenced to Over 41 Years
Aimee Bock, mastermind behind the Feeding Our Future scheme, was just sentenced to more than 41 years in federal prison + ordered to pay ~$243 million in restitution.
This nonprofit exploited the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and Summer Food Service Program, programs meant to feed vulnerable kids and adults with nutritious meals at daycares, schools, parks, and more. Instead, Bock and dozens of others opened 250+ fake “sites” across Minnesota, fabricating meal counts for thousands of nonexistent children just days after setup.
Aimee Bock and her friends created shell companies, submitted phony rosters, laundered funds, paid kickbacks/bribes… and ballooned from $3.4M in 2019 to nearly $200M in 2021, stealing over $240 million total in federal funds. The money? Luxury cars, fancy homes in MN (plus Ohio, Kentucky, Kenya, Turkey), and lavish travel. All while kids went hungry.
Huge credit to @JusticeDept, @USDA_OIG, and federal prosecutors for holding these fraudsters accountable. 
Today, justice was served. Aimee Bock should be an example to all aiming to cheat the American taxpayer. The whole of government and law enforcement will find you, prosecute you, and jail you.

Aimee Bock thought she could rip off the American people and get away with it.
She defrauded @USDA feeding programs meant for hungry schoolchildren and dragged dozens of co-conspirators down with her—each one knowingly exploiting funds intended to feed our kids while lining their own pockets.
Today, justice was served.
Let Aimee Bock be a clear and unmistakable warning to anyone who dares cheat the American taxpayer: The full force of government and law enforcement will hunt you down, prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law, and lock you up. No mercy for fraudsters who steal from our children.
