$42 MILLION IN FOOD STAMP FRAUD: 40-Plus Charged

$42 million in food stamp fraud, more than 40 people charged across 13 federal districts. On Wednesday at the FBI office in Cincinnati, Vice President Vance and Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the first nationwide crackdown on SNAP fraud, uncovered in a seven-week surge that began September 1, per the Justice Department and Local 12. One case: an Atlanta rapper charged with a $4.4 million scheme run through more than 350 accounts opened with stolen identities, who bragged online about a private jet. Vance: "We're done looking the other way when it comes to fraud." Tuesday the bounty. Wednesday the arrests. Chuck reads it.
