She agreed to give up her house she bought with the fraud money. How noble.

I live in Kenya. Some of these criminals have bought mansions along the beach here. What bothers me with this story is that this crime actualy happened a couple of years ago but is only now surfacing as news? It seems these thieves were caught off guard or that they were convinced they could get away with it somehow. You dont become a millionaire overnight and suddenly own big mansions all over the world. Also how did they think they could get away with it? This many people? This many mistakes that even a small baby could easily detect? Why were they not caught earlier? Something fishy is on....

I only heard a couple million dollars involved, where is the $230 million? I know where it is it's in Somalia

How come we don't talk about the day care fraud also?Then they have the nerve to sit on working people's surplus.

This better be investigated all the way to the top. These Somali immigrants would have no idea how to even apply for this funding without someone who has a in with the government. I wonder who that could be. 4 years in prison for stealing a million dollars is laughable. These people need to be made an example of. This goes all the way to are highest elected officials. Time to vote them all out of office!

[bojenkins]

I see them at the casinos spending thousands per hand on blackjack

[jasminebaby]

Wow I can’t believe this. Just imagining those that got away. These are just sick people.

[k.suliman]

I would give money to hungry children not take money from, the wonder why Somali faced hunger of 200 times

[fishburitto]

They should also talk about the renthelp mn fraud. Someone used my landlord account to apply for funding for a building I have never seen and people I have never heard of. I contacted the FBI and state. No one really seemed to care.

Pleading guilty means a slap on the hand.

[a-lil-evil]

While we're at it, let's have a look into these make shift mini van taxi services the have too..

[fish]

Yea 2 years in club Fed, then come out and dig up the Cash

[danb]

Thank the Democrats folks!!

(and don't forget to reward the Democrats in November by brainlessly voting for them....AGAIN!)

[PMPTYL]

They are only pleading guilty to protect the others'

[hawaiiever]

Lock them all up. The system wont even help homeless. But they give all immigrants money$$$

[charlesyates]

They wont do time they are government officials . They are protected.

[leothechibowow]

Somalien pirates we hee hee. Southpark.

This case prove if you commit white collar crime you still come out ahead even after you are caught and have to pay back restitution.
