Minneapolis, Minnesota — Feeding Our Future $250 Million Child-Nutrition Fraud
The Feeding Our Future scheme stole about $250 million from a federal child nutrition program during COVID by claiming meals for children who did not exist. On October 28, 2026, U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel in Minneapolis sentenced Salim Said — described by prosecutors as an architect of the fraud, responsible for about $44 million through his Safari Restaurant and recruited sites — to 30 years in prison, with more than $44 million in restitution. Said was convicted in 2025 on 21 counts including wire fraud, bribery and money laundering. Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock previously received 42 years. Dozens of defendants have been convicted and sentencings are continuing.

Update #1 — Said Farah sentenced to 78 months for the $200,000 juror-bribery plot
On Friday, October 30, 2026, Said S. Farah, 44, of Minneapolis was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison and a $40,000 fine for his part in the plot to bribe a juror in the Feeding Our Future fraud trial, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota announced. Farah was one of the defendants on trial in 2024 over the $250 million child-nutrition fraud; the day after closing arguments, he and co-conspirators gathered $200,000 in cash, which a co-conspirator delivered to the juror's home with a message that more money would follow for an acquittal vote. The juror reported the bribe to law enforcement at once. Farah had been acquitted on the fraud charges at that trial, but was convicted over the bribery attempt; before surrendering his phone to the court he deleted incriminating text messages. Sentencings of other Feeding Our Future defendants are continuing. We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.
