Minnesota Social Service Workers Slam Gov. Tim Walz as ‘100% responsible for massive fraud’ of $1B Roiling State; Minnesota’s Somali Scammers Scandal is What Happens When Officials Blindly Believe the ‘racism’ Grift

Minnesota social service workers slam Gov. Tim Walz as ‘100% responsible for massive fraud’ of $1B roiling state:

Hundreds of state workers at the Minnesota Department of Human Services publicly excoriated Gov. Tim Walz for allowing a “massive fraud” scandal to unfold under his watch and retaliating against their whistleblowers.

Over $1 billion in taxpayers’ money was fleeced by dozens of scammers in Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, the largest known COVID-19 fraud case in the country.

“Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response,” the Minnesota DHS employees’ X account, which represents over 480 staffers, chided Saturday.

“Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation,” the account charged.

“It’s scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to.”

Just last week, the Justice Department prosecuted the 78th defendant in what prosecutors have dubbed the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. At least 59 people have been convicted so far.

During the past five years, fraudsters targeted Minnesota’s generous social safety net by setting up companies that billed the state for social services that prosecutors alleged were never actually provided.

Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit founded in 2016 that purported to help feed school children, had partnered with dozens of local businesses under the pretense of providing food aid.

The nonprofit, which dissolved in 2022, and its partners billed the state, claiming to have helped feed tens of thousands of needy children. In reality, most of that money was squandered on foreign real estate projects, luxury cars, and more.

Other organizations besides Feeding Our Future committed fraud with Minnesota’s social safety net as well. --->READ MORE HERE

Minnesota’s Somali scammers scandal is what happens when officials blindly believe the ‘racism’ grift:

The racism grift card

Everything about the Minnesota fraud scandal is horrifying.

It is shocking that armies of scammers — almost all Somali immigrants — were able to pilfer so much money from the American taxpayer.

These con artists created sham nonprofits and billed the state for services they never actually provided.

One of them, Feeding Our Future, promised to put food into the bellies of hungry kids.

In reality it just put money — the American people’s money — into the bulging bank accounts of Somali swindlers.

The grifters milked a billion dollars from the state. They lived lavish lifestyles on the back of the cash they stole from hard-working Americans.

Some of the plundered money was sent back to Somalia, where it ended up in the coffers of Al-Shabaab — the Al- Qaeda-linked terror group.

And all of this happened under the nose of Gov. Tim Walz. It’s — a scandal of epic proportions.

Yet for me, there’s one aspect of this industrial-scale robbery of the American people that feels especially chilling: It’s this: When officials raised concerns about one of the Somali scams, the scammers threatened to publicly brand them as “racist.”

You will be tarred with the brush of “racism,” the fraudsters warned, and it will be “sprawled all over the news.”
