Immigrants defrauding welfare – Way worse than anything you have seen so far from your typical leeches. TOP 5 fraud cases of 2017.


The fraud in the food stamp program is so rampant and easy to commit, we’ve become a global magnet for grifters who immigrate and set up shop to cash in on money for food stamps.
This program is ripe for reform but what’s most disturbing is the very lenient penalty for the crime of food stamp fraud. The fraudsters are usually given a very light jail sentence and ordered to pay back the money. The problem is that the money has probably gone overseas and will NEVER be paid back. These grifters fade into the woodwork only to resurface when they reoffend.

THE TOP 5 FOOD STAMP FRAUD CASES FROM 2017:

The food stamp program is a federally-funded program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and federal investigators are most often the ones who catch those engaged in fraudulent activities..
Investigators often uncover millions of dollars worth of food stamp fraud, mostly from people who run convenience stores in low-income areas where many patrons receive food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
To show how many millions of dollars these criminals have taken away from the federal government, here are the 5 biggest takedowns of food stamp fraud of 2017.
IMMIGRANT FRAUD IS THE COMMON THREAD!
1. Ohio Convenience Store Owner Sentenced to 33 Months in Prison for $2.8 Million in Food Stamp Fraud
A former Ohio convenience store owner got caught carrying out a $2.8 million food stamp fraud scheme where he allowed benefit recipients to exchange their food stamps for cash.
The USDA revealed in an audit that the store, Breaden Market, cashed in on SNAP benefits more than ten times the amount of larger stores in the area, raising red flags among investigators.
A judge eventually convicted and sentenced George Rafidi, 62, to 33 months in prison in February and ordered him to pay that $2.8 million back.

2. Florida Investigators Discover More than $20 Million in Food Stamp Fraud
The agency said it uncovered the majority of fraud when paging through SNAP benefit applications stating fraudulent household information.
3. Baltimore Man Sentenced to Four Years for $3.7 Million Food Stamp Fraud
A Baltimore store owner got slapped with a four-year prison sentence for carrying out $3.7 million worth of food stamp fraud.
Mohammad Shafiq, 51, was one of 14 other Baltimore-area retailers sentenced for $16 million worth of food stamp fraud, where they exchanged SNAP benefits for cash.
The judge ordered Shafiq to pay back that $3.7 million to the federal government and serve three years of supervised release following the end of his sentence.

4. Three Wisconsin Men Who Carried Out $1.2 Million Food Stamp Fraud Sentenced to Hard Time
A judge sentenced three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, convenience store owners—Kanwar Gill, 67, Raviinder Gill, 27, and George Nance, 59—to prison terms ranging from 15-20 months in October after the three had been found guilty of exchanging cash for SNAP benefits.
Their store, Quick N EZ, had been an authorized retailer that accepts food stamp benefits, but the $1.2 million in benefits the store redeemed was far beyond the amount the small convenience store was expected to redeem.
Records show that all three men had been ordered to pay back the $1.2 million in fraudulently earned money.

5. An Iraqi immigrant pleaded guilty to $1.4 million in food stamp fraud in November for conspiring with others to defraud the U.S. government.
Ali Ratib Daham, 40, of Maine, gave customers cash in exchange for SNAP and Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program benefits. He then redeemed the full value of the benefits to obtain more money from the government fraudulently.
The naturalized U.S. citizen is expected to face a harsh prison sentence for his crime—he faces up to 20 years behind bars and will most likely be expected to pay back the $1.4 million to the government

MUSLIM IMMIGRANT Welfare Fraud Has Exploded… Latest Shop Owner, Ali Ratib Daham, Stole $1 Million!
The cases of fraud, money laundering and theft of American tax dollars by Muslim immigrants is outrageous! The list just keeps on growing…Why? Because the punishment is just a slap on the hand and these people are NEVER deported!
The case below is just the latest in a string of Muslim immigrants who take advantage of our system:
A man accused of running a welfare scam out of a Portland halal grocery is pleading guilty. The market sells meat permissible under Muslim law. According to federal court documents, Ali Ratib Daham is pleading guilty to federal food stamp and other welfare fraud. He is also admitting to money laundering and theft from the state’s MaineCare program. Daham is agreeing to a jail sentence of at least 33 months and will pay more than $1 million in restitution to the government. In exchange, prosecutors are agreeing to drop dozens of other charges in the case.The plea deal will be considered in federal district court Tuesday. The guilty plea could cause him to be deported.

They never deport these people, and tell me how is he going to repay $1 million when I’ll bet the money was moved abroad a long time ago. Yes, these crooks send the money back home!

America is a global magnet for all of the goodies we give immigrants. Did you know the feds give money to these people to start a small business? They then screw the system and make off with millions…Taxpayers should be outraged!

Brothers charged with stealing 3.5 million in welfare fraud through their store in Portland, Maine.
The owner of the Ahram Halal Market in Portland and his brother were indicted Tuesday on charges that they conspired to defraud the federal government of tens of thousands of dollars intended to benefit low-income families, women and children.
Ali Ratib Daham, 40, and Abdulkareem Daham, 21, both of Westbrook, are named in the federal indictment issued in U.S. District Court in Portland. The charges against Ali Daham also include wire fraud, money laundering and theft of government funds.
The conspiracy took place from July 2011 through April 2016 at the market at 630 Forest Ave., court documents say. The indictment alleges that during that period, the Dahams transferred $3.5 million in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, funds into a checking account. The account included a mixture of legitimate SNAP transactions as well as “proceeds from fraudulent SNAP transactions,” court records say.
The indictment also says that about $683,986 in Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, funds were transferred into Ali Daham’s checking account and included a mixture of legitimate as well as fraudulent transactions.
SNAP, a federal program formerly known as food stamps, is designed to raise the level of nutrition among low-income households. WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food, health care referrals and nutrition for certain low-income women, and to infants and children as old as 5 who are determined to be nutritionally at risk.
“It was further part of the conspiracy that the defendants used some of the SNAP and WIC receipts from fraudulent transactions to purchase food inventory, to pay for the store’s operating expenses and for their personal use,” the indictment alleges.”

      • Because mass immigration is a MWO plot to erase borders and national identity before creating a one world ultra oppressive totalitarian government. Also there are 7 billion people in the world, how many do you want to take in ?

        Reply
          • LOL LOL ONLY COMPLETE ASSHOLES WORRY ABOUT OTHERS AND THINGS THAT ARE OF NO BENEFIT TO THEM,IE IMMATURE TROLLS. GO BACK TO MOMS BASEMENT LITTLE TOAD. LOL

          • You can’t even form a coherent argument to counter my assertion that we must ban all immigration permanently. Stop embarrassing yourself dum dum.

          • still proving you are an incompetent cretin tiny male? your argument is way off topic, but then impaired brain activity such as yours doesn’t even notice when its malfunctioning. lol

          • It’s related and it doesn’t matter if it isn’t. You just cling to claiming I’m off topic because you lack the intellect to engage me. Keep it coming dum dum.

          • I don’t hate immigrants , I opposed the NWO plot to erase borders and national identity before creating a one world ultra oppressive totalitarian government. I bet I can make you reply to punctuation.

          • “You can’t even form a coherent argument to counter my assertion that we must ban all immigration permanently.”
            — True. It is not possible to form coherent argument to counter a logically fallacious assertion. Both people must be rational, reasonable and sincere in purpose for constructive interchange to occur. Everything else is ego-based self-annihilation.
            OK, I hope that spot check feedback helped. If I upvoted a comment that means is contains a logical fallacy.
            Cheers.

          • In addition to opposing all immigration you also oppose abolishing the government. You’re a double traitor jackass. You call my argument fallacious but you haven’t even heard it. Keep telling yourself you are a genius.

          • Your statement was logically fallacious, therefore it cannot be supported by argument prima facie. Then a bunch moral name calling….I never said I was a genius, that is only your opinion. I specifically said I was not a genius.

          • Hahh, that is awesome! You’re kinda like me now, only the douchebag version. Did you read up on the Owl of Minerva? You may find it interesting.
            Cheers!

          • “The last word wins…”
            — The last word in a non-productive interchange always reflects to person with the lower nature — it is a question of who is able OVERCOME the Reptilian impulse with human reasoning, not define themselves by it.

          • “The last word wins and I can kerp this up forever so keep replying genius.”
            — It is not humor because it actually defines your ACTIONS derived from uncontrollable BEHAVIORAL IMPULSES.
            “who is incapable of recognizing…subtlly”
            Subtly definition: in a manner that is so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe.
            Here’s is an example of subtly…
            “See, sons, what things you are,
            How quickly nature falls into revolt,
            When gold becomes her object!
            For this the foolish overcareful fathers
            Have broke their sleep with thoughts,
            Their brains with care, their bones with industry.
            For this they have engrossed and piled up
            The canker’d heaps of strange-achieved gold.
            For this they have been thoughtful to invest
            Their sons with arts and martial exercises–
            When, like the bee, tolling from every flower
            The virtuous sweets,
            Our thighs packed with wax, our mouths with honey,
            We bring it to the hive and, like the bees,
            Are murdered for our pains.”
            Shakespeare, Henry IV

          • The fact that you expend the time and enery to write so much proves you have no life outside of the comments section. FYI, I’m on the phone so sometimes I have a typo.

          • “The fact that you expend the time and enery to write so much proves you have no life outside of the comments section.”
            Lol, you are right about that for today.
            “FYI, I’m on the phone so sometimes I have a typo.”
            Come on man, I don’t care about petty typos bullshit. I make them all the time.

          • Hell no, attacking someone’s spelling or grammar is something small minded pretentious a-holes do to try and assert superiority over someone with bad intent. It goes against my principles, true story.
            Damn, and you already back to name calling! And from error I might add.

          • The information I shared with you is based on principles from Plato’s Form of Good, it serves higher purpose. Trolling is based on the your value system, not mine. And you are name calling again…and in error again I might add…that stuff only screws you.

          • Maybe you don’t know the definition of fate? It is the one thing that can’t be avoided.
            Fate: the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.

          • Trolling will only further diminish your connection with reality and move you deeper in the lower self’s irrationality. It will have no effect on me, but I hope you stop all trolling altogether for your own sake and because it cabal programmed poison to destroy both truth and freedom.

          • ” I’m a patriot.”
            — Did Alex Jones tell you you are a Patriot? Did you support the Patriot Act? No real patriot would be so undignified to call himself a “Patriot”. That is pussy programming bullshit.

          • Responding to trolls ONLY reinforces cognitive dissonance and irrationality. You must employ discipline over emotional — do it by principle and self-preservation. You ultimately will reflect the values of those you choose to interact with.

          • unfortunately that troll suffers massively from irrationality and cognitive dissonance,all it does is curse etc etc. it got offended that it couldn’t get off on spewing hate toward others. lol

          • Hey Chris, just some friendly advice — never drop down to trolls level if you choose to engage one. Always maintain higher standards at all times, or it will lower you standards through attrition and time.
            Cheers!

          • i do try to. but sometimes they are just too much fun to mess with. watching them dig their troll holes deeper can be entertaining when bored. lol

          • These are dangerous times with overwhelming forces deployed to manipulate, pervert and lower the level human consciousness to bestial levels. You are on that path now…
            “i do try to. but sometimes they are just too much fun to mess with. watching them dig their troll holes deeper can be entertaining when bored. lol” [Emotion pull metadata Skinner Box]
            …it should not be fun, it should be recognized cooperation with evil and self-annihilation of your mind. If you do what is right by defined principles and raise your consciousness by engaging the higher brain functions protect yourself.

          • Now my point is crystal: You are weak, ignorant and enslaved. You possess nothing of lasting value, even to the point you are willing to degrade yourself in front of me into very thing I said you were in the beginning. What I have you must earn with real effort, it is unbreakable principles and values that define the stoicism of real patriotism. You have no idea of the strength you will need to confront what’s coming down the Pike and they have already broke you. You must find the courage to change or they will eat you alive.

          • I’m completely detached. This is how I get my kicks. Just because I have a polemic nature doesn’t mean I’m controlled by some primal, Satanic, reptilian force.

          • “This is how I get my kicks. Just because I have a polemic nature doesn’t mean I’m controlled by some primal, Satanic, reptilian force.”
            — I have been watching degrade for a good year know, truthfully I makes me sad to see. I don’t think see set out to be like this, but your denial is indicative that you solidly recognize the problem and at the subconscious level, at least. Infowars is the very definition of propaganda that specifically exploits the three forces you identified: primal, Satanic, reptilian. It is powerful stuff, that’s is why warned you about in strict terms around a year ago.
            Don’t worry about what I think about you, their is no competition between us.
            The key is free will and all higher knowledge is to Know Thyself, truth is inward. What propaganda systems like Infowars do in externalize all action outwardly and against some perceived enemy or perversion using primal, Satanic, reptilian forces (endless divide and conquer dialectics). This sustains the illusion that we are not the problem, and drives to the lowest state of ego consciousness (Reptilian Brain fight or flight). These are the specific obstructions Infowars to lower the level of consciousness to the bestial level.
            The Debilitating Self’s Obstructions
            1. Keeping the person ignorant of his own ignorance
            2. Encouraging the person to see his debilitating self
            as his true self
            3. Nourishing the person’s feeling of self-
            satisfaction, the sense that he’s perfectly okay
            the way he is
            4. Bolstering the person’s presumptuousness:
            “I already know everything about myself and
            the world.”
            “I am equal to anyone in terms of knowledge or
            capability.”
            “I need not show deference to anyone.”
            5. Supporting the person’s delusion that he already
            knows how to think for himself
            6. Sustaining the person’s desire for mindless ease
            and self-indulgent pleasure-seeking
            The Debilitating Self
            hermes-press.com/debilitating_self.htm
            Ok, good luck.

          • You left out “you” and spelled now as “know. It sounds like you’re getting rattled. You should be scared. I’m coming for you.

          • Like I said before, you have a knack for stating the obvious and what’s common knowledge. It’s so obvious you don’t listen to AJ. He has expressed what you say before. He always speaks about the ‘false left right paradigm’. You give yourself too much credit.

          • Again, everything you say is wrong. You have some serious problems at the base level of language and simple definitions of basic words. That is the prerequisite for ‘common’ knowledge, the requirement of ‘common’ words definitions. You literally don’t know anything you think you know — it is plainly obvious and you know it. The problem is you are concerned about I think about you, that is not something you worry about. Ok, I am out.

          • Dear clueless idiot, the comments section is a virtual environment. It doesn’t exist. Nothing here matters including your incessant absurd lectures motivated by your deep seeded insecurities.

          • “Dear clueless idiot, the comments section is a virtual environment. It doesn’t exist. Nothing here matters including your incessant absurd lectures motivated by your deep seeded insecurities.”
            — Again, a demonstration cognitive dissonance, rationalization of evil and projection of “your deep seeded insecurities”. We are opposing value systems, so I don’t have those same feelings you project onto me.

  1. LOL LOL AND YET ITS HARD AS HELL TO EVEN GET FOOD STAMPs. the fraud is in the stores? then implement a way to stop it. its not the recipients obviously. meanwhile the federal govt continues paying huge welfare payments to isn’treal and themselves with no consequences.
