Federal authorities say tens of millions of federal dollars meant for child nutrition funds funded a fake St. Antony-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future (FOF) that instead used the donations to buy numerous vehicles and 14 properties.
“The companies and their owners received tens of millions of dollars in federal funds for use in providing nutritious meals to underprivileged children and adults,” FBI Special Agent Travis Wilmer wrote in an affidavit. “Almost none of this money was used to feed children. Instead, the participants in the scheme misappropriated the money and used it to purchase real estate, cars and other luxury items.”
