What odds not a penny of the funds he send home to Somalia ended up in the Al Shabaab kitty? [ShabelleMedia] The FBI is adding Fahad Mohammed Nur to its Most Wanted Fraudsters List, accusing the Minnesota businessman of allegedly stealing more than $5 million that was intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nur has been on the run since 2022 and is wanted for his alleged role in a fraud scheme that exploited Minnesota’s Federal Child Nutrition Program during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the FBI. The bureau alleges he owned a vendor and purported food supplier that received more than $5 million in fraudulent program funds by submitting fake invoices before laundering the proceeds.
The bureau believes Nur has ties to Somalia and may currently be living there.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to Nur’s arrest and conviction.
Nur is the latest addition to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List, which officials say has already resulted in the arrests of two runaways within weeks of its launch.
"Under President Trump’s and Vice President Vance’s leadership with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, the FBI’s historic ’Most Wanted Fraudsters list’ has already seen tremendous success — with two subjects brought to justice in a matter of weeks, apprehended out of Somalia and the Philippines," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Patel said the early arrests demonstrate that the FBI is aggressively pursuing runaways accused of stealing from American taxpayers.
"Our newest subject — Fahad Mohammed Nur — has been on the run since 2022 for allegedly stealing over $5 million from a child nutrition program in Minnesota."
Patel added: "Collectively, the Task Force has already uncovered more than $13 billion in fraud, and the rapid success of the Most Wanted Fraudsters List should show all Americans that this FBI will [be] at the forefront pursuing the worst of the worst who stole from hardworking American taxpayers."
Federal officials say the investigation is part of a broader government effort targeting pandemic-era fraud.
"The Department’s robust partnership with the FBI and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud has already delivered historic results. That partnership grows even stronger today with the addition of this latest subject to the Most Wanted Fraudsters list," said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "President Trump has made it clear: Fraudsters no longer have a safe haven in America. Law enforcement will continue to use every tool at its disposal to bring those who steal from American taxpayers to justice."
The White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vice President JD Vance, has already uncovered more than $13 billion in fraud, according to the FBI.
Anyone with information about Nur’s whereabouts is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, their local FBI office, the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
Another Blue State Ignores Daycares With No Kids Despite Massive Subsidies
[RedState] There's been a lot come to light about the extensive fraud perpetrated on the American taxpayers: Medicare and Medicaid fraud, COVID relief fraud, food aid fraud, and, not least of all, daycare fraud. All of these are funneling money, in the millions, likely billions, away from the people it was intended to help and into the pockets of fraudsters.
Now, add some more to the list: A recent investigation by The Center Square, in Washington, has revealed a bunch of "daycare" operations that had no children, but which were taking big, fat payments from the taxpayers.
Many Washington state daycare providers receive large taxpayer subsidies, but an investigation by The Center Square found several that had few, if any, children and at least one establishment that received hundreds of thousands of dollars despite residents at the listed address indicating it was not a daycare.
Yet politicians charged with overseeing the spending continue to publicly say there is no problem with improper payments to the daycares and, instead, have been criticizing journalists for investigating the potential fraud. No state official has announced an investigation or crackdown though the legislature instituted some reforms last session.
Some of these supposed daycare centers were receiving over $20,000 per month, with no children in evidence. That's a calamity, a horrendous fraud perpetrated on the taxpayers of the state of Washington, and politicians with oversight insist there's no problem. Well, I don't know about you, but I sure see a problem. The state Attorney General sees a problem, too, although fraud isn't what he perceives as the problem so much as the people who are exposing the fraud.
Attorney General Nick Brown responded by encouraging anyone who would see a reporter “harassing” a daycare provider by knocking on the door, to report it to the hate crimes hotline.
“Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t an investigation," noted Brown’s Dec 30, 2025, press release. "Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior. I encourage anyone experiencing threats or harassment to either contact local law enforcement or our office’s Hate Crimes & Bias Incident Hotline.”
