The founder of a Minnesota non-profit organisation faces nearly 42 years behind bars for orchestrating one of the nation's largest pandemic-era scams. Aimee Bock, the head of Feeding Our Future, received her prison term on Tuesday following her conviction last year for conspiracy, fraud, and bribery.
Federal funds meant for hungry kids became a personal jackpot when she and her accomplices fabricated records for 91 million meals, walking away with a staggering $250 million (£186 million), the New York Post reported. Government lawyers painted a damning picture of the non-profit organisation, describing it as an open 'cash pipeline' for anyone prepared to file fake claims and hand over kickbacks.
