  "text": "🚨🇺🇸 TWO HAITIAN NATIONALS CHARGED WITH $7 MILLION SNAP FRAUD IN MASSACHUSETTS\n\nTwo tiny storefronts were out-redeeming full-service supermarkets. \n\nNobody noticed for years.\n\nAntonio 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nUndercover operations caught both men exchanging SNAP benefits for cash and selling liquor in exchange for food stamps. \n\nPhotos from the stores show virtually no legitimate food inventory.\n\nIt gets worse. \n\nBoth 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. \n\nProfiting off food meant for starving children.\n\nThey allegedly laundered the proceeds through multiple bank accounts to obscure the source of funds.\n\nIf convicted, they face up to five years in prison and $250,000 fines.\n\nThe Trump administration recently demanded states turn over SNAP recipient data, including immigration status, to root out fraud. \n\nStories like this explain why.\n\n$7 million stolen. \n\nChildren's food sold for profit. \n\nTwo tiny shops. Zero oversight.\n\nSource: WWLP",
