🚨🇺🇸 TWO HAITIAN NATIONALS CHARGED WITH $7 MILLION SNAP FRAUD IN MASSACHUSETTS Two tiny storefronts were out-redeeming full-service supermarkets. Nobody noticed for years. Antonio Bonheur, 74, and Saul Alisme, 21, both Haitian nationals, were arrested and charged with trafficking over $7 million in SNAP benefits from two small shops in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood. The numbers are staggering. Monthly SNAP redemptions at Jesula Variety Store regularly exceeded $100,000, with some months hitting $500,000. A full-service supermarket in the same area redeems about $82,000 per month. Undercover operations caught both men exchanging SNAP benefits for cash and selling liquor in exchange for food stamps. Photos from the stores show virtually no legitimate food inventory. It gets worse. Both stores were also selling MannaPack meals, a donated food product from the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children intended for humanitarian relief, at $8 per package. Profiting off food meant for starving children. They allegedly laundered the proceeds through multiple bank accounts to obscure the source of funds. If convicted, they face up to five years in prison and $250,000 fines. The Trump administration recently demanded states turn over SNAP recipient data, including immigration status, to root out fraud. Stories like this explain why. $7 million stolen. Children's food sold for profit. Two tiny shops. Zero oversight. Source: WWLP
