Trio Nailed For Food Stamp Fraud
A trio from Stockton, California received sentences ranging from three to six years in prison for federal food stamp fraud. The case resulted from a joint investigation by the Agriculture Department's inspector general and the IRS criminal investigation section. Ahmed Kahn, his brother Mumraiz and his daughter Naheed operated a smoke shop. According to the Justice Department, they used it to buy food stamps from customers at 50 cents on the dollar. Then they redeemed the food stamps to the tune of $2.6 million. In one year, they reported $7,000 in food sales, but processed $718,000 in food stamps.The Kahns were also convicted of money laundering because they sent some of the money to Pakistan.

Just the tip of the iceberg with foodstamp fraud
and guess what the people who got the 50 cents a dollar of our tax money were buying ..... can you guess ... can you guess ??
Anon 10:08 you got that right. I bet if they really checked most of the people are committing it anyways. I knew someone who would sell the stamps for cash. When we tried to report her they said there was nothing they could do. They liked to think the food was still getting to the persons children.
Go into any Walmart and watch the illegals pushing two-three carts full of food to the register and paying for all with Food Stamps... with several illegal kids running all over and riding the new bycycles around the store.
How do you know they are illegal?
