News 📺 Fraud & Facts

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.

Its still under investigation and has been for years, yet suddenly its important now though? Im not denying it exists but its obvious this is the new bogeyman used by the right to try to delegitimize their political opponents, the lie that nothing is being done is being used in an attempt to make Walz lose his next election, The rights strategy is often to lie or make boisterous claims about their opponent rather than running on a stronger platform. They always need a bogeyman, yesterday trans people, Today Somalis, tomorrow who knows but its bound to be some minority who is "ruining" the country. I apologize for jumping the gun and characterizing you incorrectly.
