Summary
Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock has been sentenced to 500 months in prison -- that’s nearly 42 years -- for orchestrating what investigators say was the nation’s largest COVID-era fraud scheme. Bock was also ordered to pay $243 million in restitution. And federal authorities announced today they’ve filed criminal charges against 15 Minnesotans accused of stealing millions from federal programs. Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
