INDICTED — AND STILL GETTING PAID? Minnesota Feeding Our Future Suspect Keeps Cashing Checks: Report

According to a Daily Wire report, a man awaiting trial in what prosecutors have called the largest COVID fraud scheme in U.S. history is still billing taxpayers millions.

The suspect is Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, who later changed his name to Gandi Abdi Kediye — and who was indicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal, where Somali nationals allegedly billed the government for millions of meals that never existed.

Despite the indictment, Mohamed is currently operating multiple assisted-living homes that house adults and provide on-demand services — all at taxpayer expense, according to State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican who chairs the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee.

The committee was created after Minnesota uncovered more than $1 billion in fraud over roughly six years.

“At a hearing,” Robbins laid out the timeline.

“In February 2024, this person was indicted and charged for $1.1 million in money laundering in Feeding Our Future,” Robbins said. “This person was paid an additional $49 million for other state programs between 2019 and 2024. This person will have their trial in 2026.”

Campaign money followed the contracts.

According to a 2024 Minnesota Reformer report, Mohamed donated the maximum legal contribution — $2,500 — to Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison. That same article quoted a Republican lawmaker urging the state to review Mohamed’s contracts — yet he continued operating.

The Justice Department has also said Mohamed’s brother was part of the Feeding Our Future scheme.

Robbins said her tiny committee, staffed with just one researcher using public records, uncovered evidence of a sprawling fraud network that the Walz administration and Ellison’s office appeared to do nothing to stop.

That inaction, she said, raises serious questions about how many safety-net programs are being exploited — and whether Gov. Tim Walz has taken even basic steps to stop it.

The paper trail is startling.

A single real estate broker handled purchases of numerous single-family homes, including for Mohamed, which were then converted into assisted-living facilities billing Medicaid. One assisted-living company used three houses owned by Mohamed, operated by his wife through a separate company. The wife recently bought a fourth home, again using the same realtor — and the state granted a provisional license in September, Robbins said.

Then came the name change.

“Incredibly, the Feeding Our Future defendant changed his name just months before he was indicted, and used that new name to purchase the two [assisted-living facility] homes [as a business referred to as] ALF 17, that the state has paid $132,000 this year,” Robbins said. “One was purchased using the same LLC that he’s indicted for money laundering.”

She closed with a blunt warning:

“If we haven’t cross-checked people who are indicted to see what other services they’ve received, we have failed.”
