SUMMARY

A $250 million fraud scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic in Minnesota involved 70 indictments tied to the "Feeding our Future" program.

FBI Director Kash Patel called it "one of the worst" fraud cases in state history. The conspirators falsely claimed to serve millions of meals while using federal funds for personal gain.

Of those indicted, 38 have pleaded guilty, and further trials are ongoing.

Patel stated, "Stealing over $250 million from hungry kids during a pandemic to fund mansions and luxury cars is as shameless as it gets."

The investigation has prompted legislative reforms in Minnesota.
