I'm just pointing out there are several dozen more besides her that have also already been convicted. The fact that she may have been the ringleader doesn't change that they all stole from taxpayers while denying services to those they claimed they were helping. They all deserve time behind bars.

Aimee Bock ran Feeding Our Future, which had claimed it helped provide millions of meals to needy children during the pandemic. The U.S. Justice Department, however, said she was atop the single largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.
I understand I failed. I failed the public, my family, everyone, Bock, 45, said in federal court.
