The Somali Fraud Fiasco: Billions Down the Drain While America Foots the Bill

If you’re an American taxpayer who’s sick of watching your hard-earned dollars get flushed down the toilet of government incompetence, this one’s going to make your blood boil. We’re talking about the massive Somali fraud scams ripping through states like Minnesota and now Ohio, where billions—yeah, billions—in fraudulent payments have been siphoned off from programs meant to help kids and the needy. This isn’t some penny-ante hustle; it’s a full-blown assault on the American wallet, courtesy of lax oversight, open borders, and politicians who prioritize feel-good policies over protecting the homeland. From an America First standpoint, it’s high time we slam the door on this nonsense and start deporting the crooks who game the system. Let’s dive deep into the Minnesota disaster and the fresh horrors bubbling up in Ohio.

Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future Nightmare: Still Simmering in 2025

Remember when the COVID chaos hit and Uncle Sam started throwing money around like confetti at a Democrat convention? Well, in Minnesota, that turned into the Feeding Our Future debacle, where fraudsters allegedly bilked at least $250 million from child nutrition programs by claiming they fed millions of phantom kids. Fast-forward to December 2025, and this mess is far from cleaned up—it’s expanding like a bad rash.

As of November 24, 2025, the feds charged the 78th defendant in this sprawling scheme. We’re talking wire fraud, money laundering, the works. One key player, a 36-year-old named Abdirashid Bixi Dool, got slapped with a seven-count indictment for his role in the hustle. But that’s just the latest; earlier convictions have already sent big fish to the slammer. Take Abdiaziz Shafii Farah—he pulled 28 years in prison last month after masterminding parts of the operation. His brother-in-crime, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, got 10 years and a whopping $48 million restitution order. These guys weren’t skimping; court docs show they blew the stolen cash on Porsche Macans starting at over $52,000, lakefront pads in Prior Lake valued at $567,100, and overwater villas in the Maldives complete with champagne-popping parties and seaplane rides.

And the spending spree? Extravagant doesn’t cover it. First-class jaunts to Istanbul, Amsterdam, and the UAE. Stacks of cash bragged about in texts—like one boasting a box with $270,000. Nearly $3 million wired to Kenyan accounts, over $1 million in six chunks to Chinese banks between February and July 2021 by Farah alone. Receipts point to more wires flooding East Africa. In texts, Farah even crowed to his brother about making him “the richest 25-year-old, God willing.” This is your tax money funding terrorist-linked lifestyles—some revelations tie these funds to groups like Al-Shabaab, arming them up while American families scrape by.

The investigation? It’s ramping up big time. Minnesota just tapped an ex-FBI agent named Tim O’Malley to head a new anti-fraud office, aiming to plug the holes after this scandal exposed how easily the system got gamed. Treasury’s cracking down on Somali fund transfers amid probes into welfare and immigration fraud. House Oversight launched a fresh inquiry on December 3, 2025, zeroing in on early warning signs ignored under Governor Tim Walz’s watch. Whistleblowers from the state’s human services department are spilling the beans: They flagged the fraud early, hoping for action, but got retaliation instead—monitoring, threats, discrediting reports. Walz, they say, bears 100% responsibility for letting this open secret balloon into the largest documented COVID scam in the nation.

Recovery efforts are crawling along. Prosecutors admit clawing back taxpayer dollars in a case this massive is slow, but vital. Properties bought with the loot—like that Prior Lake gem—haven’t been seized yet, per local digs. And the fraud’s tentacles? They’re probing deeper, with feds eyeing ties to broader social services rip-offs. This ain’t over; it’s the biggest among multimillion-dollar pandemic scams, and revelations keep dropping like hammers.

Ohio’s Somali Scam Explosion: The Tip of a Nationwide Spear

If you thought Minnesota was bad, buckle up—Ohio’s Somali community is now ground zero for the next wave of revelations, and it’s looking like billions more in fraud. A whistleblower just blew the lid off massive welfare scams exploiting Medicaid and other programs, calling Minnesota “just the tip of the spear.” This ain’t hyperbole; it’s a cascade of exposure hitting multiple states.

In Columbus, Ohio’s Somali hubs, fraudsters are allegedly gaming loopholes in state law to claim payments for “caring” for family members who don’t need it. We’re talking EBT fraud rings using SNAP benefits as a slush fund, fake childcare setups, and bogus claims mirroring Minnesota’s playbook. Reports peg this as part of a broader conspiracy, with Somali migrants raking in taxpayer cash through immigration and welfare hustles. One insider warns the community has gotten “really clever” at finding these gaps, turning aid programs into personal ATMs.

The fallout? A TikToker calling for probes into Columbus’s Somali scene got doxxed, with thugs hurling objects at her window in the dead of night. That’s intimidation straight out of a mob movie. And the scale? Echoing Minnesota’s horrors, with funds potentially funneled overseas or to terror groups. Stephen Miller’s calling it the “single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history,” vowing a full-scale Trump admin probe that could shock the nation.

Ohio’s mess ties into national scrutiny, with ICE and Border Patrol making arrests linked to these schemes. It’s spreading—Maine’s mentioned in whispers as another hot spot. Billions blown, and Democrats’ USAID-style NGOs might as well have handed out blank checks. From an America First view, this screams for audits in every state, mass deportations, and sealing the borders before more “refugees” turn our generosity into their getaway fund.

Time to Drain the Swamp and Deport the Grifters

America, we’ve been played like a cheap fiddle. These Somali fraud rings aren’t isolated; they’re a symptom of open-borders insanity and Dem-run states letting crooks run wild. Billions in fraudulent payments—$250 million confirmed in Minnesota alone, with the total likely soaring higher—while veterans sleep on streets and families pinch pennies. Walz’s retaliation against whistleblowers? Pure thuggery. Ohio’s revelations? A wake-up call that this cancer’s metastasizing.

We need RICO-level investigations, asset seizures, and a zero-tolerance boot out the door for anyone involved. No more coddling; it’s America First or bust. If we don’t act now, in 2026 it’ll be trillions down the drain. Let’s make these scammers regret ever stepping foot here.
