A Lakeville man named Abdinasir Mahamed Abshir just got six and a half years in prison for masterminding a $5.4 million fraud scheme disguised as a kids’ meal program. He faked records claiming over 1.6 million meals were served — none of which existed — while funneling cash into his own pockets. Things got even darker when he allegedly tried to bribe a witness during trial by meeting them in a courthouse bathroom. This is the 23rd sentencing in a sprawling case that began in 2022, now involving 80 defendants — 69 already convicted — exposing how devastatingly serious it is to exploit programs meant to help children. The FBI’s message? They’re zero-tolerance on corruption targeting vulnerable communities.
