In Minnesota, 47 people have been charged with defrauding the government of $240 million in funds designed to help feed underprivileged children during the pandemic. Lists of fictitious children and false invoices were submitted by Feeding our Future, indicating thousands of children were being fed at locations throughout the state of Minnesota. Amiee Bock, founder of Feeding Our Future, filed a lawsuit against Gov. Tim Waltz in 2020 when Waltz began to question the numbers. Now, Bock is among 47 defendants being charged with a variety of crimes, including wire fraud and conspiracy.
