The ringleader of what authorities called the largest pandemic fraud case in the United States has been ordered to forfeit more than $5 million.
Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock was found guilty in March on multiple criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. She has not yet been sentenced.
A court order issued Tuesday demands Bock forfeit about $5.2 million. She was also ordered to forfeit clothes, electronics and a Porsche, the value of which will earn her credit toward the money forfeiture. The order states more than $185,000 was previously seized from Bock's accounts, as well as $13,462 in cash.
Dozens of people have been convicted in connection with Feeding Our Future. Authorities said Bock and others stole nearly $250 million intended to feed hungry children.
The forfeiture order comes amid increased scrutiny on Minnesota following widespread fraud accusations.
