Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, December 11, 2025

Luxury cars, private villas and overseas wire transfers: CBS News obtained dozens of files and photos that reveal how Minnesota fraudsters blew through hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars as part of one of the biggest COVID-era fraud schemes.

"At the sentencing of a defendant who used taxpayer funds for cars and the Maldives vacation, 24-year-old Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, U.S. District Judge Nancy E. Brasel admonished him, saying:

"Where others saw a crisis and rushed to help, you saw money and rushed to steal." He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $48 million in restitution for his role in the fraud scheme."

from the article

Alt thread title; "Minnesota Deliberately Convicts Fraudsters When They Found Them".

As there is no indication in the article that, 'MN deliberately gave fraudsters millions'.

That's just a lie... a 'deliberate' lie.

I am just equivocating, it's no lie they deliberately sent checks to them, if it wasn't deliberate how did they get them?

Now you know how it is to deal with snoofy, yet you never call him a liar.

Your Fake Headline says that they deliberately gave checks to fraudsters... which is a lie.

"Equivocating means using vague, ambiguous language or double meanings to mislead, avoid commitment, or hide the truth, essentially "talking out of both sides of your mouth" to seem to say one thing while meaning another.

It's a form of deception or hedging, often seen in politics or debates, where a person dodges a direct answer by using words with multiple interpretations.

In logic, it's a fallacy where a word's meaning shifts during an argument, invalidating the reasoning."

This would be worse, I was giving Walz the benefit of the doubt.

But I guess if corky and Alexa are correct and the checks were sent by "accident", the whole Minnesota welfare system is in on the scam.

Deliberately - consciously and intentionally; on purpose

Did Minnesota give the fraudsters the checks on purpose?

Why yes yes they did.

Gov. Tim Walz creates fraud prevention program, appoints new anti-fraud czar

Found this using a Google search of when was the FBI notified on the MN Feeding our Future program.

"The FBI was notified about the potential fraud in the Minnesota Feeding Our Future program in April 2021. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) contacted the FBI with its suspicions that the non-profit organization was illegally diverting federal funds. The FBI officially opened its investigation the following month, in May 2021.

The state agency had initially raised concerns with federal authorities in the summer of 2020 and attempted to halt payments, but a state judge ruled in April 2021 that the MDE could not stop payments without more evidence, which prompted the MDE to refer the case to the FBI. The federal investigation then proceeded for several months before search warrants were executed in January 2022, and the first indictments were announced in September 2022"

As I posted previously, the judge that ruled here was appointed by former (R) Governor Tim Pawlenty.

I ask Oneironaut, if Gov Walz was supposed to impose himself into an FBI investigation? You Trumpers were accusing Gov Walz of getting kickbacks and he was in on it in previous postings of this fraud. If that is true, why didn't the FBI indict him? You rubes are so gulible!

Oneironaut, are you ready to give this up yet? Keep posting this garbage ("deliberately", really?) and I will keep posting information that refutes your claims. I am a MN resident, I am pissed about this, but I don't blame Walz, I blame the people committing the fraud. Being a resident of MN I am DEFINITELY more informed about what happened here than ANY of you Trumpers trying to score points against Gov Walz.

I hold a contrary view, based upon my experience running a message board back in the day...

Perhaps that is why they may be paid.

The intent, imo, of such payment is not worthwhile contribution, but disruption.

Camper Van Beethoven - Good Guys and Bad Guys (1986)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Verse 1]
Well, there are good guys and there are bad guys
And there are crooks and criminals
There are doctors and there are lawyers
And there are folks like you and me

[Chorus]
So let's get high while the radio's on
Just relax and sing a song
Drive your car up on the lawn
Let me play your guitar

[Verse 2]
Well, this here verse is for the people in Russia
Though it is a long long ways away
They couldn't hear this song in Russia
But couldn't understand the words anyway

[Chorus]
So let's get high while the radio's on
Just relax and sing a song
Drive your car up on the lawn
Let me play your guitar

[Verse 3]
So just be glad you live in America
Just relax and be yourself
Cuz if you didn't live here in America
You'd probably live somewhere else
...


:)

Camper Van Beethoven, a fun group.
