U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger announced charges against dozens of people Tuesday morning in connection with what he termed "the greatest pandemic scam in the United States."
Forty-seven persons face federal accusations of cheating a federal child nutrition programme, reportedly stealing $250 million and pocketing the majority of money for personal use rather than feeding children.
Prior to the pandemic, Feeding Our Future was a sponsor, and authorities stated the organisation distributed $3.4 million in 2019. However, by 2021, that figure had risen to a stunning $200 million.
