Feeding Our Future Fraud Exposed | Fargo News

A 36-year-old man named Abdirashid Dool just pleaded guilty to wire fraud in a massive scheme targeting pandemic-era child nutrition programs. He admitted to fabricating meal counts and inventing kids’ names to siphon nearly $1.1 million in federal funds meant for hungry children in Pelican Rapids and Moorhead. His fake claims for two nonprofits — Bilaal Mosque and Multicultural Resource Center — included absurd numbers like 40,000 meals in a single week. This is the 68th conviction in the sprawling investigation, led by the FBI and IRS, which aims to restore trust in programs designed to help families in crisis. Dool faces up to 20 years in prison — a stark reminder that accountability still matters, even in complex systems.
