Aimee Bock given more than four decades in prison for $250 million Minnesota child‑nutrition fraud

Overview

In mid‑May 2026 a series of reports documented the sentencing of Aimee Bock, former head of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, for a massive COVID‑era child‑nutrition fraud in Minnesota. The first notice on 19 May described a 41‑year prison term and identified daycare owner Fahima Mahamud as another participant in the $250 million scheme. A follow‑up on 22 May added that Bock received a 41½‑year sentence and was ordered to pay roughly $243 million in restitution, emphasizing the case as the largest pandemic‑related fraud of its kind in the United States. By 24 May the coverage refined the sentence to 500 months (equivalent to just over 41 years) and noted restitution of more than $242 million, while also mentioning that 15 co‑defendants faced charges. Across the snapshots the core facts remain consistent: Bock was convicted for orchestrating a $250 million fraud involving child‑nutrition programs, received a prison term exceeding four decades, and was required to make substantial restitution, with later reports expanding on the number of accomplices involved.
