Prosecutors seek 50-year sentence for nonprofit leader at center of sprawling Minnesota fraud case
Prosecutors are seeking a 50-year prison sentence for Aimee Bock, the former leader of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, who was convicted in a $250 million fraud case. Bock's organization was accused of operating a fraudulent scheme involving kickbacks and false claims related to feeding children during the pandemic. Her defense argues for a significantly shorter sentence, claiming she is not the mastermind behind the fraud.
