New Jersey Man Gets 3 Years for $3.2 Million Food Stamp Fraud

A New Jersey man and former Connecticut supermarket employee has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison for his role in a $3.2 million food stamp fraud scheme.

U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant sentenced Muhammad Shahbaz, of Jersey City, New Jersey, to 33 months in prison on Wednesday after he agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors to plead guilty and repay the federal government $1.5 million.

Authorities say Shahbaz was involved in a food stamp fraud scheme with his colleagues at W.B. Trade Fair Supermarket in Hartford, Connecticut, where they defrauded the government of $3.2 million since 2014.

  1. That’s a million + a year in prison. Some would say that’s well worth it.

  2. Good enough and I hope they give him nothing but pork to eat while he's there.

  3. So he steals 3.2 million and only has to repay 1.5 million and "nearly" 3 years in prison. He'll probably only do 1 and get released. Small amount of time locked up and you have 1.7 million when you get out, not too shabby if you ask me. No wonder the country is going to hell.

  4. Pretty sure that money went overseas, ever notice the usual suspects are involved in the million dollar food stamp fraud cases. They would lay down their life for Allah, what's a few years in a US prison? Even with the re-pay their cause just got 1.5 million easy money.

    Its a win-win because they are selling booze and cigarettes to promote early death to the infidels. Then send another relative over to "take over" the business and avoid taxes - great scheme! The Ramadans know what I mean.

  5. Northwest Woodsman: Shabad huh? Another foreigner playing the system. Have you noticed that almost all of this type of scam is perpetuated by foreigners, mostly Muslim?
