43 guilty verdicts, 5 of 7 convicted

After weeks of testimony, the jury in the first Feeding Our Future trial returned 43 guilty verdicts out of 64 total charges, convicting five of the seven defendants. Two defendants were acquitted entirely; the five convicted were taken into custody to await sentencing.

The guilty verdicts landed on conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering — all tied to creating phony federal meal sites, inventing rosters of children, and pocketing reimbursements. Abdiaziz Farah, considered the ringleader of this particular group, was found guilty on 23 of 24 counts.

The trial was overshadowed by a stunning development: an attempted $120,000 cash bribe of a juror, who was subsequently dismissed. The U.S. Attorney vowed to “investigate and prosecute that attack on our criminal justice system with all of our resources.”

Prosecutors emphasized this was only the beginning — seven defendants tried, with dozens more cases still to come.
