On this episode we chat with Joey Peters. Joey is a journalist for the Sahan Journal and has been covering the Feeding Our Futures Trial.

The "Feeding Our Future" case involves a significant fraud scheme where multiple individuals and entities exploited federal nutrition programs intended to provide free meals to children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nonprofit organization Feeding Our Future, along with other participants, allegedly submitted false documentation and reports for meals that were never served and created fake meal distribution sites. The funds obtained through this fraudulent activity were misappropriated for personal use, including luxury purchases and real estate.

Federal authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Justice, launched an investigation leading to several indictments and arrests on charges such as wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. This case, involving tens of millions of dollars, is one of the largest pandemic-related fraud cases, highlighting vulnerabilities in emergency federal aid programs and undermining public trust in charitable organizations. Legal proceedings are ongoing, with further indictments and actions anticipated.
