$84 million in housing fraud alone! These are federal funds, translation - our tax dollars.

And that's just part of the billions of our tax dollars that were fraudulently acquired in Minnesota.

I don't know but "$496,000 in improper assistance to 509 dead tenants" =$ 974.46 total per person for housing.

That's assuming, without proof or back-up at this point, that the people were dead at the time of application, not that they died after applying. But, we don't have that info.

I don't know where the 30,000 number comes from and couldn't find it in the links. That seems to be national, perhaps, not just for Minnesota. ?

I also can't see, at first glance, if this is assistance designated for elderly people or not. There are assistance programs for seniors, and seniors are in a group that might die while receiving assistance without it being fraud. But, can't tell from this data.

I'm assuming the numbers will be transparent shortly.

I am surprised a thread suddenly popped up for this, as it has been in the investigation, charges, and court stages for a few years now.


The kingpin, Aimee Bock. founded her company in 2016.
In July 2019, MN Education Dept saw the first signs of fraud and started documenting it.
In Feb 2020, the IRS took away the company's non-profit status.
The FBI began investigating in Feb 2021.
Aimee Bock was indicted on multiple fraud and bribery charges, and dozens were arrested in Sep 2022.
Aimee was convicted after a 6-week trial in March 2025. She is awaiting sentence.
Aimee appears to be a 44-year old blue eyed, blond American.
She committed her fraudulent scheme among the Somali people - and sued the govt in Nov 2020 for discrimination because they were denying and holding up grants she had applied for.

"The Minnesota Department of Human Services is appealing a decision by the Trump Administration to withhold over $2 billion in annual Medicaid funding for Minnesota.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), announced the withholding in a social media video last week. He alleged Minnesota has failed to take actions that fight fraud in our state’s Medicaid program. "

Prediction: The state will sue the administration to prove Minnesota has been taking action. And the lawsuit will waste taxpayer money and waste time....while people who need the assistance go without.

How the Counties Stack Up

Many factors play into where we choose to live— parks and lakes, high-performing schools, retail, restaurants, business districts, even the dreaded commute of pre-2020. Here’s how our Twin Cities metro stacks up.

Farve was accused of accepting speaking fees for speeches he didn't give, he paid the money back. The other (federal) allegations were not substantiated and the DOJ did not pursue further. The State of Mississippi put their Dept of Human Services supervisor in prison for 30 years. Are we expecting Minnesota to send one of its directors to prison for 30 years? Is Minn going to actually invistigate the Somali community for this? Is Walz going to throw himself on a 30 year sentence? No.

Mississippi actually prosecuted the case on their own and assisted in the federal prosecutions as well.

Minnesota has been investigating and prosecuting too. But, unlike Mississippi, it's been vilified by the federal administration.
