A report in the Post-Millennial explains that the seven are “part of a larger case that has seen 70 charged with stealing a total of $250 million in COVID aid.”
“They allegedly delivered few, if any, meals,” the report said.
The wrinkle happened over the weekend when juror No. 52 arrived home “to find that someone had dropped off a gift bag containing $120,000 in cash with a promise of ‘more’ if she moved to find the defendants in the case not guilty.”
The 23-year-old opted to call law enforcement immediately, the report said.
“As a result, all seven defendants accused of using a charity to steal $41 million in federal aid meant to go towards feeding children in need were re-arrested at the request of United States Assistant Attorney Joe Thompson,” the report said.
The report explained the juror got home, and was told by her father-in-law a woman “possibly Somali,” with an accent gave him the gift bag for delivery to the juror, “whose real name she knew.”
“An affidavit stated, ‘The woman told the relative to tell Juror #52 to say not guilty tomorrow and there would be more of that present tomorrow,’” the report said.
The FBI received the cash and partnered with the Spring Lake Park police department for their investigation.
According to the report, the defendants were arrested, had their phones taken away, and were instructed not to leave the courthouse.
The rest of Monday’s proceedings proceeded as scheduled. Following this, the jurors commenced their deliberation.
“This is the stuff that happens in mob movies,” attorney Joe Thompson said.
Commentator Charlie Kirk explained, “The defense, meanwhile, is hiring college professors to lecture that scamming the government and sending suitcases full of cash abroad is a part of Somali culture, and trying to stop them is of course ‘racist.’”

It is just $250 million. So glad we have these enterprising Somali’s to remind us how diversity is our strength.These immigrants bring so much value to America. And the Federal employees that approved these payments are so incompetent….actually a few hundred of them need to stand trial with the Somalis to show we have had enough of their malfeasance. Lets start by taking their pensions and fix the broken system!
Wherever Democrats are in charge there is always missing money! There is a good reason democrats spent millions keeping anybody from checking the 2020 election! As the more we look! the more corruption and cheating we find with democrats. Goergia Senate just found 300,000 more votes than ballots for 2020! Arizona had 57,000 fake ballots! Colorado caught Dominion changing the voter data! And the Democrat judges are turning a blind eye! look at all the missing money to keep the illegals! that is all by design! Now that Dominion machines have been exposed the Supreme court is checking on why they should not be used! This is the second time democrats were caught cheating with machines. First was DIABOLT and who bought DIABOLT??????? Dominion! What a surprise!
The DEI/DNC motto——- to hell with ethics, integrity and morals!!!! We don’t need them —-we are the majority!!!!!!
Once again we see importin the worlds thugs like Somalis, causes untold and continuous murder, mayhem, misery and actions of despicable and vile people.
Whenever the Democrat is in charge of anything the money disappears! There is a big reason they spent millions to keeping people from looking what they did during the 2020 election! As we are still finding they cheated! In every state we actually check! Goergia just found 300,000 more votes than ballots! Arizona found 57,000 fake ballots!
