A ringleader of the $250 million Minnesota welfare fraud scandal has been ordered to forfeit her Porsche, diamond jewelry, Luis Vuitton bags, and millions of dollars in bank accounts.
An order from a judge just before New Year’s Eve was the latest ignominy for Aimee Bock, 44, who prosecutors declared was behind one of the biggest fraud schemes of the pandemic era.
The vast majority of the more than 57 people so far convicted in the case are part of Minnesota’s Somali community – Bock is not – and the case has exploded onto the national stage.
On Monday, Minnesota governor Tim Walz announced he would not run for a third term after it happened ‘on my watch’ and admitted ‘the buck does stop with me.’
In a preliminary court order, reviewed by the Daily Mail, Bock was ordered to forfeit $3,506,066 seized from a Bank of America account in the name of her nonprofit Feeding Our Future, along with $179,455 in a personal account.
I hope this is just a warmup for what is coming. ABN
