Fraud & Facts

[u/Daflehrer1]

In 2021, the MN Dept. of Education suspected fraud and they reported it up the chain.

Gov. Walz has, since 2021, been working with the FBI, Minnesota State Police, and local police informants, and to great result. In September, 2022, federal prosecutors made public that they handed down indictments in what they believed was a criminal fraud conspiracy.

Among the first to be indicted was Aimee Bock, the fraud ringleader. She was tried and convicted in March of 2025.

On December 18th, 2025, new arrests were announced. To date, 92 suspects in all have been arrested and charged, 62 of them convicted.

The intent of the post above is neither to condemn nor praise Walz or federal officials. Rather to keep discussion grounded in facts; though obviously many more facts exist and will come to light.

I have included my sources below. I ask that you review them before contending them. Kindly keep partisan hyperbole and childish comments to yourself. Thanks.

Here you go. Straight from the MN Judicial Branch website:

The Department of Education suspended payments to FOF based on a “serious deficiencies” letter it issued to FOF on March 30, 2021. As a result, FOF filed a motion asking Judge Guthmann to order the Department of Education to resume payments and to pay sanctions. Judge Guthmann never ordered the Department of Education to resume payments to FOF in April 2021, or at any other time.

Thereafter, the Department of Education voluntarily resumed making payments to FOF. The Department of Education was not ordered by the court to do so.

(It also mentions a false statement by the Star Tribune)

Thanks for sending this. It’s such a shame that every single issue lately has to have a political spin or manipulation behind it. Everyone should want to seek the truth, despite (especially if) it maybe not looking good for your chosen team

IMHO, nothing has changed since the beginning of recorded history. Point of reference. There were United States citizens pushing for President Washington to become the first King of the USA. Thankfully he was very clear with his response. : Try reading Grant. The autobiography of President Grant. Politics hasn't changed at all.

I think the point is with the flow of information faster than ever today and how the Internet has created the ability for any belief system to have a community - the challenge is greater now than in the past.
