MINNEAPOLIS – Mahad Ibrahim, Hamdi Hussein Omar, and Hibo Salah Daar each pleaded guilty to their respective roles in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thomspon. Prosecutors have now obtained over 50 convictions scheme-wide.

“This milestone marks an extraordinary achievement by our team and our law enforcement partners,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. “For years, these elite federal agents and forensic accountants have tracked stolen money, cut through layers of deceit, and exposed a sprawling network of shell companies and fake meal claims. Their pursuit of justice has been relentless. Because of their work, we’ve uncovered not just one scheme, but a far-reaching fraud crisis that’s swamping Minnesota. This is public service at its finest. And this team is nowhere near finished.”

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation takes immense pride in its pivotal role in securing 50 convictions to date, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to holding accountable those who illicitly appropriate funds meant for the nourishment of underprivileged children,” said Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. of FBI Minneapolis. “Taxpayers are entitled to assurance that their contributions will be utilized in a responsible and lawful manner. These three guilty pleas underscore the gravity with which the FBI addresses fraud perpetrated against the government.”
