- U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said 47 people have been charged in connection with "the largest pandemic fraud in the United States." Watch an introductory segment of the presser. WCCO will have more coverage.
If you don’t go after their accountants, this effort is too shallow.
Co-conspirators!
They can't read African money scripts...only Omar can.
Wonder how many government officials are involved?
We know the guy at the top was directly responsible, he's the one who revoked the oversight for all of this so people could scam it.
Oh, all the way to the top, I bet. Biden himself likely took a few hundos directly. It's not like you can sign some permits, get a registration, and take part in helping your community unelected. Psh.
MN? Probably a lot.
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats did.
@@notme2day democrats are the one’s who stole the money. You’re saying those same people voted to have oversight over their own crimes? 🤣😂
Every person that committed fraud claiming to be feeding children should be imprisoned.
They don't put people of color in prison anymore. Where have you been?
more than imprisoned

Where's Brett Farves name?

The punishment is always less then they’ve benefited.
Thank you all for your service to the country America needs you.
While this is great news for taxpayers and parents of hungry children, I am thinking about how many others are involved in similar or different cases who benefited from covid relief programs in illegal ways. There should be a thorough investigation of every business that receives government funds to ensure transparency and accountability.
The American people thank all of you! The fact that these 47 people will soon get their paybacks warms my heart. The pandemic wrecked havoc on our families and brought considerable hardship to all. Thank You 🙏
How low can these people go?
As long as democrats let them
tough times
6ft under would be a good depth.
I've seen dozens of similar cases like this in DOJ newsletter, this one is just the most costly one. 😪😪😪
Don't say that, they will take it as a challenge to go lower.
Happy to see investigators catching extraordinary levels of fraud. I hope the perpetrators gat long prison sentences
Maybe this would NOT have been able to happen if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds.
Their actions are beyond pathetic

When people do it its crime when politicians do it...its passed as bills
Get them all
Atrocious!
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats asked for but repubs voted down.
Geeee ...I wonder why the party of "fiscal responsibility" wouldn't want oversight of taxpayers money being misuesd?!

25 years, no early release.
Damn didn’t they do that in Mississippi too they should investigate all states with similar programs
Get er’ done. We will see, is there no shame in people anymore???!!
What does “get er done” have to do with this? What do you mean by this? Like get them to prison? That’s the only thing I can think of why you’d say that lol
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats asked for but repubs voted down. Geeee ...I wonder why the party of "fiscal responsibility" wouldn't want oversight of taxpayers money being misuesd?!
@@Cnm4200 ...prison? How and where is that in my 12 & 1/2 words??
‘Get er’ done ‘, is a Larry the cable guy catch phrase.
‘We will see’, means that it will be a long time before the results of this matter is concluded.
‘ no shame’, was the food for children /, money grab, that 3 people participated in, Or so he stated.
For real, ... I’m done ever posting
@@notme2day So were they Republicans that were stealing?
And they're getting CAUGHT!!! 🇺🇲

How many corporations did he indict? Hedge Fund Companies that took pandemic funds or the Major Banks that took pandemic money...
Despicable.

In Minnesotastan? I'm shocked!
Yeah they love Omar lol
OMG the cretins are coming out of the woodwork! I hope they are taking a good long look at our legislators who also took Coved funds of one sort or another. There are a good number of them.
Nobody wants to talk about that!!!
Glad you caught them. In Illinois 2 billion was stolen from the state in fraudulent Unemployment claims.
Make the Scum Bags PAY, with full payment of fraudulent stolen money in retribution, Fines, Prison
... time and loss of business -
No Less !
I didnt even know about this.. sick
Could this be one example about why Congress voted in approval for 87000 new IRS agents?
Not really, but it would be a good use for them.
uh uh
don't forget... they hired ARMED agents and agents that could get a concealed carry weapons permits...
Underrated comment
@@j.thomas7128 No, they didn't
Would you expect anything less in a democrat state where corruption is rampant!!
They said they were creating a special department for this alone, a while back.
Hi
Get those crooks 🙌🏼
Must have been a sting investigation as perhaps a whistleblower came forth. The premise of the fraud was horrible and I hope those cheated get some money back. Those criminals will enjoy being fed in prison for multiple years. Welcome to a new hell!
Glad to hear. Well, specifically my left ear is glad to hear.
System is broken. These people will walk free and I will laugh
Sounds like our government had no idea where or who the money was going to. Now a mess that could've been avoided is now being cleaned up. I hope they all are rounded up, but some may get away with this.
That's because Manchin intentionally did not have any oversight over Federal monies going out during COVID. That's why you had so many government officials who took millions from the PPP and had it immediately forgiven.
Thank you
Stealing from hungry children. These people should be buried under the prison.
Only morons are surprised that this happened. If there’s money moving, someone who shouldn’t get it is gonna try and take it. Welcome to the human condition.
Were those names all Somalian or Middle Eastern, looked like it to me? Ripping off their own Communities. Charming......
South Asian*, but yes.
Somalian....it's Omar's people. Prolly her brother she married is in the deal too. This is the way politics work in Africa.
Probably all out on cashless bail too!
All those names are Indian, Pakistani? Muslim? What’s going on?
They're all Somalian....like Omar.
This will be surprising to anyone who said the pandemic was a hoax.
that people committed fraud in the name of it?
no, that's par for the course with that virus.
@Bachomp Bachewiechomp 😂😂😂😂😂
@Bachomp Bachewiechomp Yeah, that's only a million in the US. Would have been 3 to 6 times worse without vaccine and many other resources thrown at it.
@Bachomp Bachewiechomp Long COVID for people who failed to die to please you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Bachomp Bachewiechomp And over one million Americans dead of the disease.
I hope they catch every single solitary person who scammed.
It’s about time 👇🏾
Strong independent women right? 🤷🏾♂️ get'em
That money is gone forever - they shouldn't have been able to get the money in the first place. They busted them after they got so greedy a blind person could have found the fraud.
Gov hates competition
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats asked for but repubs voted down.
Geeee ...I wonder why the party of "fiscal responsibility" wouldn't want oversight to prevent taxpayers money being misuesd?!
@@notme2day wow. You really think there’s a difference between Repubes and Demonrats?? They’re all on the same side. They don’t give 2 faks about the people.
@@ramotinmahazol240 yeah ..lm not saying dems are perfect BUT I see a difference.
Dems at least call out their own when they step over the line.
They also enact legislation to protect the public. If you can't see that than your spending to much time on right wingnutz news.
The way I see things is ...
FIRST you have to end the party of crazy repubs.
Then people join ranks to be WE THE PEOPLE and strive for a better America. One where politicians do what is in the PUBLICS best intrest. That won't happen while one side is unhinged and off the rails which the dems are NOT at this point.
When politicians have us fighting each other than we're NOT fighting politicians... that's the way they like it but will change once sanity is restored. If I didn't believe that I wouldn't vote... and I DO vote!
Crooks in Minnesota no way
What a surprise that Minnesota residents would do such a thing.
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats asked for but repubs voted down.
Geeee ...I wonder why the party of "fiscal responsibility" wouldn't want oversight of taxpayers money being misuesd?!
Somalis
Ahmed, Muhamad- Minnesota residents
Taking a rough guess here , Somali immigrants right?
These are the guys who got caught. I'm sure no else is doing anything wrong or taking advantage of any crisis. Why do all those names look similar ?
Bingo. I had to scroll down a fair amount to find find a comment on the names on the list. Evil will always find a way to fund its nefarious plans and activities.
Lock 'em up!

@@Hunter-fv5gl Somali.
@@KB-ke3fi black is black
Interesting, I don't recognize a single one of these names that represents any English-speaking pronunciation, very very curious. Our country is being overrun and taken from within by individuals that could care less about American values and the rule of law. Good luck America, enough is enough, it's time we take our country back from top to bottom.
Well said.
Wait till the other 10 million get here from the southern border. It's 190 countries.
Just like Ukraine nobody knows where the money is going!!
How can organizations receive funding without any government verification of a legitimate business?
you ever look at someone and think "I'm really glad that guy isn't mad at me"
God bless trump 2024!!!!!
This is the Same place that this happened was attempted to be made a mosque and it was deemed racist by the public s few years ago.. it’s the St. Anthony Business Center. The building off of old highway 8 used to Medtronic in 70s. It’s a business center. If it’s a religious center it can’t be taxed nor looked into by the government. Not saying there wasn’t racism involved but this same case kept going on after feed our future (the name is quite ironic) countersued after initial suspicion reported by one of the departments of Minnesota. It was reported due to the enormous number of kids they claimed they were feeding. Quite interesting the path of this case.
That's how the Muslim nation of Somalia works.
This is hurtful I as a American I approve they all should get LIFE aim prison this is sick what's wrong with people
Check out the names of the defendants. The peaceful doing pious work!
I didn’t see Fauci’s name.
Guys, if you didn't recover the money, it doesn't matter.
So....if no money is recovered, laws shouldn't be enforced, and law breakers left unpunished?
Shit, time to visit some banks.
@@prinzezzqtpi5437 lol. Right
It matters because we can learn from what they did and expand our parameters for fraud detection
For only 99 cents a month you can make a difference
Unbelievable! There is no jail time long enough for this greedy disgusting act!🤬
I wonder if Brett favre is involved? Lol
😀
It's about time !!!!
Oh so they were politicians.
Yes, they are well represented from the government of Africa.
Only the tip of the iceberg.
Complete restitution, then jail.🤬
Shame shame on them! Are those people standing with you are they good people!!
Call Bret Favre
Crooks investigating Crooks
My thoughts exactly
Hello beautiful lady ☺️
Put them in jail w/o food
Same mercy you show will be shown to you. Yes they did something wrong, and their is consequences, but be careful because you are someone you know may need some mercy.
If you do that then they will call you racist because we all know who was committing the fraud.
@@brandonduarte6757 racist? Eye for an eye
3:20 some typical American names you’re seeing there … no patterns or similarities .. diversity is our strength!
lol! Yeah not one Bob Jones or Bill Smith anywhere.
Decades in prison and give them crackers, beans and water nothing else
Pork.
Haha no bacon though thats mine
Why the hell did the state give all these extra benefits. Parents making the same amount of money we’re awarded way too much extra for food money…they qualified for $30 a month but we’re given hundreds extra..again while not having a change in income
oh maybye they shouldn't of shut down the country?
Not many comments pertaining to the names presented on the screen.
American Greed!! I love watching that show.
There is nothing "American" about those people!!
Minnesota? Lol oh I wonder who that would be
They need Bernie Madoff jail time.
American greed at its finest
I got one for ya...chicken
Much Obliged..
Sounds like Brett Farve and the former Mississippi governor 🤔
Now let's see if U.S. attorneys will do a forensic investigation in that case.
Maybe this would NOT have been possible if republicans had just voted for oversight of these funds like democrats did.
@NotMe2day And maybe you should live up to your handle of 'NotMe2day' and not be you today and celebrate work well done by our government officials and lay aside political jabs. Oh, and I'm not suggesting their is ANY validity to your claim of oversight mistakes. It's fake news until you prove otherwise.
@nometoday This happened in 2020, the President was Democrat, the Democrats controlled the house, the Governor of Minnesota was Democrat, the representative most well know from Minnesota was Democrat Ilhan Abdullahi Omar who also stole money by marrying her Campaign manager. (After she divorced her brother) and Nacny Pelose (D) was the speaker of the house handing out money like it was candy. And with all these democrats it took 2 years to do anything.
Maybe it wouldn't have been needed if Biden had not, in Secret, at night, flown infected illegals around the country to states that had already stated they were at capacity.
Hey, Minnesota voters wanted these criminals in government...not Republicans.
No sound.
Hi
So Hunter is on the list Right 😅
rope, tree.
these are not people worthy of continued existence
Did you see all there names?????????
I'm not surprised. With all the conservative rhetoric that went on in Minnesota talking about how COVID relief was being abused? Welp, goteeem
Hey, you guys voted for Ilham Omar. What did you expect?
make it louder!`
Fine Republican Christians no doubt.
That's it, stick your head in the sand, it's safer there.
Second largest. Edit. Third largest
Lots of Muslim names
This dude loves staging. Easy case.
Hey camera person get it together
Wait....these fools can uncover this elaborate scam but when hunters laptop is presented with all the evidence needed to prosecute......they can't bring charges?
Are the democrats or republicans? Follow the money
All 44 names listed takes a bit of an effort to pronounce.......
Not that I want to label anyone, but, looking at the names of the people committing this fraud. Is any investigation being conducted as to what this money was used for and where it went. Looks like there are problems coming down the road that need to be addressed.
Was Brett Favre involved?
All non whites. Celebrate diversity!!
Aimee?
@@shawnmurray9964 she is the leader😂
ilhan omar has a really big family in mn !!!
Yeah I don't know if her brother she was married to is in the mix
I bet they are all Somalis.
I bet they are people of color and definitely democrats.
@@brandonduarte6757 Wow....that's quite a belief system based on ? Oh those crazy dirty dirty dems and dirty colored folk...yeah, great brandon.... you are appropriately named, eh? Any chance you're a angry white guy?
My bet is that they are citizens of proper reputation and outstanding record.
@@davidkeefe2655 Oh, definitely not. But being a shit person isn't visible. I see a lot of awful peopke walking around my local farmer's market, smiling and waving-then gossiping behind one another's backs like a bunch of gap-toothed cowards.
Ha! Yes the scapegoats of the day.. accountability!
