More guilty pleas in Feeding Our Future fraud scheme
More defendants are pleading guilty in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. FOX 9's Rob Olson has the latest.
The backstory:
Bock was convicted by a jury on March 19 for her role in the Feeding Our Future fraud, which involved $250 million in stolen federal child nutrition funds aimed at providing food for low-income families.
As part of the scheme, Feeding Our Future would "sponsor" food distribution site, overseeing paperwork and federal reimbursements to nearly 300 under the program, while receiving nearly $200 million in federal funds in 2021.
According to federal court documents, 79 people have been charged in connection with the scheme to date. Of those charged, 57 have pleaded guilty, and seven have been convicted at trial.
The other side:
In their own filing, legal representatives for Bock have argued for a judge to, "impose a sentence of time served or at the most 37 months, followed by an appropriate term of supervised release with mental-health treatment and vocational programming conditions."
What's next:
Bock’s sentencing will take place Thursday, May 21, 2026.
