Feeding Our Future Fraud: First Guilty Plea Entered

A 50-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to wire fraud. This is the first conviction in the ongoing "Feeding Our Future" investigation. The plea agreement was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota. She admitted to one count of wire fraud. The case involves the nonprofit "Feeding Our Future." Federal prosecutors allege it was the center of a massive scheme. They say organizations fraudulently obtained and misused funds meant for feeding children. The woman's guilty plea is a major step in the large federal probe. The investigation has already led to several indictments. Authorities say it may be one of the largest pandemic-related fraud cases in the United States. Sentencing will occur at a later date.
