YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A judge in Minnesota sentenced the former leader of a nonprofit to nearly 42 years in prison for her role in a $250 million COVID era fraud case.

Appearing in court Thursday, Aimee Bock said she failed the public and her family.

Bock ran Feeding Our Future, which claimed to have provided millions of meals to children during the pandemic, but the Justice Department says she oversaw the single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.

President Donald Trump used her case and others to initially justify a controversial surge of federal officers to the Minneapolis area last winter.
