Why This Fraud Scheme Exposed Everything Wrong With Oversight

How Did Somali Tethers Get Away With Billions of American Tax Dollars?
https://youtube.com/live/Jj7ncf-2TE4

📝 DESCRIPTION
Welcome to BlackLogic — where outrage is replaced with evidence, and power is traced, not guessed.
In this episode, we break down one of the largest public-fund fraud scandals in U.S. history — not through rumor, not through social media hysteria, but through court records, federal audits, investigative reporting, and sentencing transcripts.
This is not an attack on a community.
This is not xenophobia.
This is not collective guilt.
This is a forensic examination of how a tethered political ecosystem was able to extract hundreds of millions — possibly billions — in taxpayer funds while state oversight collapsed under fear, politics, and institutional paralysis.

• Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor (2024 audit report)
• Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavits

🧠 CONTEXT THAT MATTERS
• Over 90 individuals charged in the Feeding Our Future case alone
• $250+ million confirmed stolen in one program
• Federal investigators reviewing 14 Minnesota-administered programs
• Prosecutors estimate up to half of ~$18 billion in claims may be fraudulent (preliminary, under review)
• Judges described defendants as exploiting trust-based systems during a crisis
No evidence has been presented in court linking defendants to terrorism.
Plenty of evidence exists linking defendants to luxury consumption and overseas transfers.
Facts matter.
Precision matters.
Language matters.
