Recently, a series of social welfare fraud cases in the US state of Minnesota have continued to come to light. The amount of money involved has rapidly expanded, shocked the entire United States, and caused a political storm. According to reports, three of these fraud cases have now entered the prosecution stage, involving a non-profit organization called “Feed Our Future.” Legal documents show that between 2020 and 2022 alone, the organization defrauded more than 250 million US dollars from the “Federal Child Nutrition Program” in the name of providing welfare meals to thousands of children's groups. Linked to “Feeding Our Future,” investigators also unearthed an NGO claiming to provide housing for the homeless and disabled, and an NGO claiming to provide services for children with autism. They all defraud huge amounts of welfare funds by providing false information to state authorities. The White House said on the 1st of this month that the amount involved in the relevant case had already exceeded 1 billion US dollars. Meanwhile, Joseph Thompson, the acting federal prosecutor for the Minnesota region appointed by US President Trump in June this year, said that there is a “criminal network that defrauded taxpayers of 1 billion dollars.”
