Minneapolis Daycare Owner Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud, Conspiracy
She fraudulently claimed $4.6 million from Minnesota's child-care aid program and pocketed over $850,000 meant to feed children during the pandemic.
- She collected over $850,000 through Feeding Our Future, the largest pandemic fraud case in the US.
- State investigators moved in after a Nick Shirley video went viral in December 2025.
- She booked a flight to London the day she told the state her daycare was closing.
Why it matters: A program that pays on the claim, not the deed, will always find someone glad to claim it.
