I went back for my MBA after working for 13 years. There were a few of us who sat together in the classes, having a good chuckle at some of the things professors sold as the coming trend in Management, Logistics and Supply.

The kiddos who went for their MBA right after getting their Bachelors' would ask us what was so funny. We'd just tell them 'wait and see'. A lot of things sold as new and groundbreaking in class had been tried and failed by real businesses years before.

That's not to say we didn't learn some useful tools, but a grain of salt is an important part of any scholarly diet.

Minnesota fraud mastermind gets nearly 42 years in prison in massive $250M 'Feeding Our Future' scheme
DOJ called the operation the 'single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country,' with dozens convicted
Alexandra Koch By Alexandra Koch Fox News
Published May 21, 2026 3:03pm EDT

The former leader of a Minnesota nonprofit was reportedly sentenced Thursday to nearly 42 years in prison for orchestrating a $250 million pandemic relief fraud scheme.

Aimee Bock, who headed the nonprofit "Feeding Our Future," was convicted last year on charges of conspiracy, fraud and bribery.

While the organization claimed to be feeding millions of needy children during the pandemic, the Justice Department described the operation as the "single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country," The Associated Press reported.

Prosecutors told the court the nonprofit functioned as a "cash pipeline," relying on a web of fake distribution sites, fabricated lists of children and kickbacks.

Bock and her co-conspirators funneled the stolen taxpayer funds into lavish personal purchases, including real estate, luxury cars and international travel, the outlet reported.

During sentencing, Bock told the federal court, "I understand I failed. I failed the public, my family, everyone

Her attorney, Kenneth Udoibok, argued she should serve no more than three years, insisting she provided critical information to investigators and was unfairly scapegoated, the AP reported.

Former lead prosecutor Joe Thompson countered that Bock "did everything she could to earn this long sentence" and that the case "changed our state forever."
<<

this week, in a rarity in G.O.P. politics, Mr. Trump's taunts, bullying and threats have backfired, at least for now. Senate Republicans, after the president targeted two of their own, stood up to Mr. Trump on two of his biggest priorities: money for his White House ballroom, and a $1.8 billion fund to reward Trump supporters who claim political persecution by Democrats, such as the rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops?" said Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky. "Utterly stupid, morally wrong take your pick."

Thune acknowledged Thursday that Trump's role in Cornyn's and Cassidy's races inflamed the reaction to the fund.

Punchbowl News: Senate Republican leaders are now coming to grips with the reality that advancing Trump’s priorities may be in conflict with their efforts to retain the majority.

Yeah, you zealots are really showing your extreme hypocrisy yet again. Had Biden made his personal attorney the AG, then sued the government, then had his personal attorney setup a fund for billions to pay violent criminals, then reached a "deal" that made him, his son, and all businesses, immune from IRS audits forever.... the "whaaaaahhhhh" would be staggering.

I'm not pleased at all about the "free to cheat" status the IRS settlement give the Trump Org. Terrible precedent. I am reminded though of why was there a settlement in the first place. If the IRS had behaved itself, Trumps suit would have had no grounds. It seems the Trumps wanted protection against future persecution by the IRS. I can't imagine why. This unfortunate situation is a side effect of weaponization of government agencies.

None of us were involved with the deliberations, which were between Trump and his personal attorney who was given the power of the Attorney General. That alone should present enough conflict of interest, but the fact that such an agreement was reached is so egregious that Congress should remove him, if they had any balls.

Trump Collides With GOP Senators Over $1.8 Billion 'Anti-Weaponization' Fund
Sen. Thom Tillis, who is retiring after the president regularly criticized him, called it a 'payout pot for punks'

Senator Thom Tillis during a confirmation hearing.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, of North Carolina GRAEME SLOAN/BLOOMBERG NEWS

Quick Summary
President Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate collided over a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund," stalling an immigration funding bill.

WASHINGTONSenate Republicans broke with President Trump over his administration's plan to create a $1.8 billion settlement fund to pay people who claim political persecution, with widespread opposition forcing party leaders Thursday to abandon votes on immigration-enforcement funding and send lawmakers home early for their Memorial Day break.

The "anti-weaponization" fund is a Trump priority, after he alleged for years that his supporters, including those prosecuted over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, had been targeted unfairly by the Biden administration. But its creation has run into blowback in the Senate, and the immigration-enforcement bill gave senators leverage to dig in their heels.

"I don't like the fund at all," said Sen. John Curtis (R., Utah), who added he didn't think any guardrails could fix it. Sen. Thom Tillis (R., N.C.), a frequent target of Trump criticism who is retiring, called it a "payout pot for punks."
