And the ringleader of the fraud was a white woman who is awaiting sentencing, but they ignore that part
2 comments

The fact that she's awaiting sentencing suggests they didn't ignore her as much as she may have liked.
That was just one case. There's a lot of other decentralized fraud that had nothing to do with that person.
What other fraud? The Feeding Our Future fraud is the biggest case and they got caught and prosecuted. 80 people have been convicted
Out of the 78 convicted, 77 were of Somali or African descent. So saying the ringleader was white doesn't discount or minimize that fact.
Yes it does, when she was the one recruiting people to participate.

Are you suggesting there is something inherent to being Somali that means they are more likely to commit fraud?
