Victor Nava, New York Post, January 6, 2026

The founder of an infamous Minnesota-based nonprofit convicted of hatching a $250 million welfare fraud scheme was ordered by a judge last week to forfeit her Porsche, designer handbags and millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.

Aimee Bock, the 44-year-old mastermind behind the Feeding Our Future scandal, was found guilty in March on federal charges of wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy in connection to the nation’s largest COVID-19 fraud scheme.

Bock, who along with dozens of predominantly Somali co-conspirators pilfered pandemic relief funds from a federal program meant to feed hungry children in need, is awaiting sentencing for her lead role in the scandal.

The Justice Department has convicted 57 people and charged 78 defendants related to the Feeding Our Future scandal.

Seventy-two defendants are of Somalian descent and five are currently fugitives in Africa, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
