JustTheNews

Aimee Bock, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was sentenced to 500 months — nearly 42 years — in federal prison on May 21, 2026, for her role in what the Justice Department called the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.

Aimee Bock, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was sentenced to 500 months — nearly 42 years — in federal prison on May 21, 2026, for her role in what the Justice Department called the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.

Prosecutors said Bock and her co-conspirators submitted false documentation with inflated meal counts and fabricated rosters, in some cases claiming to feed thousands of children who did not exist, diverting more than $250 million from a federally funded child nutrition program.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel, who also ordered Bock to repay nearly $243 million to the federal government, said Bock had lied on the stand during her trial and "had an integral role in planning the scheme."

Bock's attorney, Kenneth Udoibok, argued she should serve no more than three years, saying she had provided key information to investigators and was unfairly portrayed as the mastermind. Prosecutors had sought a 50-year sentence.

At least 65 people have been convicted across a series of overlapping food fraud cases stemming from the scheme, with prosecutors having charged 78 defendants in total. On the same day as Bock's sentencing, federal authorities announced new charges against 15 people accused of defrauding Minnesota social service programs of $90 million.

The Feeding Our Future case became a political flashpoint, with President Donald Trump citing the fraud as justification for a surge of federal agents to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced in January that he would not seek reelection.
