More than half a billion dollars was stolen from Minnesota nutrition and frontline worker programs under Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrat vice presidential nominee, in an enormous pandemic-era fraud scheme for which critics are calling him out.
When the indictments were first announced, FBI Director Christopher Wray called it the “largest pandemic relief fraud scheme yet,” and U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger for the District of Minnesota said it was a “brazen scheme of staggering proportions.” According to Minnesota’s Office of the Legislative Auditor, MDE was aware that the nonprofit “failed to accurately describe meal and snack service” — such as plans for specific meals and how to distribute them — failed to provide information on child enrollment, and “incorrectly inflated” the attendance of the program to make it seem like it was serving millions of meals.
Following the release of the audit, Walz said his administration “certainly” takes “responsibility” and that they can “do better,” ABC reported.Joe Teirab, a former federal prosecutor who said he “helped investigate and prosecute the Feeding Our Future fraudsters,” said “Walz was asleep at the wheel, allowing a quarter-BILLION in fraud” in a post before the vice presidential announcement:on the ticket.
Governor Walz and the people he directly hired and oversaw lost half a billion dollars to fraud in a few short years as governor.
