Abuse is not significant or widespread 🤬😔

Authorities also allege the defendants sold MannaPack meals, a donated food product intended for food-insecure children overseas, for about $8 per package. These meals are funded entirely by charitable donations and are not authorized for retail sale.

ā€œThese products are not for sale anywhere. Yet Bonheur and Alisme were selling them in their stores for nearly $10 a pack, profiting from food literally intended for starving children in disaster zones,ā€ Foley said.

These idiots were too greedy.Ā 

ā€œAccording to federal prosecutors, Bonheur owned the Jesula Variety Store, and Alisme owned the Saul Mache Mixe Store, both small storefronts in Boston’s Mattapan section.

Despite their limited size—Jesula Variety Store measured about 150 square feet and Saul Mache Mixe Store about 500 square feet—their SNAP redemptions ranged from $100,000 to $500,000 per month, far exceeding what legitimate food sales could support, federal prosecutors alleged.Ā 

By comparison, a full-service supermarket in the same area redeems about $82,000 per month, Foley noted.

They were not full-service groceries. It would be a huge stretch to even call them convenience stores. In fact, the only thing convenient about these stores was how easy it was to commit SNAP benefit fraud,ā€ Foley said.

Investigators say transaction data revealed suspicious patterns: more than 70% of SNAP transactions at the stores exceeded $95, a level typically associated with larger supermarkets.ā€

So what's the grift here?Ā  They ring up a bogus food stamp charging the snap card like $150.Ā  They give the customer $100 in cash and then get reimbursed for the $150 from snap program?

Not a bad scam.

Wait, if the people doing this aren't buying food, how are they feeding their starving kids that the wokies here assured me would be going hungry if food stamps were cut off?
