Aimee Bock, the convicted ringleader of the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme in Minnesota, was sentenced to more than 40 years in prison on Thursday.
The judge handed Bock a 500-month sentence and ordered her to repay nearly $243 million to the federal government.
Last year, a jury found her guilty on multiple criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. Prosecutors said she orchestrated the largest pandemic fraud case in the country, which diverted tens of millions in government money meant to feed hungry children.
"Aimee Bock didn't participate in fraud, she orchestrated it, profited on it," Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Kline said before the sentencing.
Sort of surprised she will need a U-Haul to tote her time to prison.....Justice served cold.
