MUSLIMS SCAM $7.2M IN WELFARE FRAUD
JUDGE HAS JUST 4 TERRIFYING WORDS

Our nanny state is completely out of control. As welfare fraud continues to run rampant, it’s hard to believe liberals are still in gross denial of the facts.

Two Muslim retailers, Mohammad Shafiq and Muhammad Sarmad, both plead guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit food stamp fraud. The sentencing judge ordered each of them to serve eighteen months in prison. (via USDOJ)

Each man was tried and convicted in separate cases, which proceeded simultaneously. The details of the cases are similar — the judge convicted both men on the same charges, and they were found guilty of illegally exchanging food stamp benefits for cash.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, is a welfare program designed to help low-income individuals obtain a more nutritious diet. (an outright lie, BTW, you can any uncooked food with it)

In Maryland, where the retailers operated, welfare recipients receive an electronic benefits card that is similar to a debit card.

However, unlike a debit card, the benefits card can only be used to purchase items deemed to have nutritional value from approved retailers.

Shafiq and Sarmad owned four grocery stores each in Maryland. They’d both been approved by the state to participate in SNAP and were allowed to accommodate welfare recipients who visited their stores by accepting their debit-like SNAP cards.

Instead of providing only the state-approved food items, these two Muslims exchanged cash for SNAP benefits.

They gave welfare recipients half the value of their benefits in cash instead of food.

Essentially, they acted as a shady ATM for SNAP participants.

Both men told the court they were fully aware they were committing fraud.

Once again, we have another case of Muslims thinking they’re above our laws!

The electronic benefits cards were designed to help curtail government waste and cut down on fraud, but they’re frequently abused.

In this case, the store owners fabricated transactions and rang in false orders at varying times to give the appearance of typical customer behavior.

Over the course of six years, the two retailers were caught scamming the state’s SNAP program for $3.5 million and $3.7 million.

They were also able to profit from the food items the government provided them, reselling them later to their customers.

In this lucrative scheme, the store owners were able to receive up to four times the value of the money they gave to welfare queens who were abusing their benefits.

This disgusting scheme is growing more popular, and criminals across our nation are stealing millions from taxpayers.

It’s impossible to make sure 100 percent of a state’s welfare funds are used for their intended purpose — at least right now.

Thankfully, President Trump is cracking down on these frauds, and we may see a brighter future sooner than we think

yes, hopefully fraud will decrease

regardless of the citizenship or religion of those engaged ini t

whether it be in welfare, banking, housing, or any other industry prone to have those try to abuse it.

yes, you're right, but these that were caught are immigrants...muslim immigrants at that...

how about that? immigrants and muslims are not averse to breaking laws,,,like any other class or group of humans,,,

IMO it would be more accurate to say "Once again, we have another case of people attempting to profiteer from a poorly planned government handout system."


If it's growing in popularity that's only because there are more people on it.
Scheming food stamps in this, and many other ways, has been around pretty much from its inception.
Even before food stamps, when people were given things like government cheese, there was fraud in the program.


At best that simply creates an incentive for people to become more creative and centralize fraud operations, making them bigger.
Previous "crackdowns" helped create collusion between some grocery store owners and food stamp recipients.
If the risk is the same committing fraud for $1 or $10 million, then work on getting to the $10 million.
e.g. the drug trade and cartels, pharmaceutical and farm subsidies.

yep... how about that... i guess allah allows for cheating and stealing...

or,, people are not perfect or without sin, regardless of religious labels

lol.. many evangelists are sitting in prison right now too...

sad but true, labels don't make us, we make our own choices

yea, well... we don't make our own labels either...the people around us do...
