Feds: Feeding Our Future ringleader tried to 'minimize her starring role' by leaking secret documents from jail

Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis are asking a judge to prohibit
convicted fraudster Aimee Bock from speaking with her two adult sons
from jail after she allegedly directed the men to send sensitive
evidence from her case to elected officials and the news media ahead of
her May 21 sentencing. 

In March 2025, a jury found Bock and restaurateur Salim Said guilty of
charges including wire fraud and bribery for their roles in a scheme to
steal around $250 million from taxpayer-funded child nutrition programs
during the COVID-19 pandemic by submitting false reimbursement claims
for meals. 

Because of the scale of the theft, Bock could face life in prison under
federal sentencing guidelines. Bock is among 79 defendants charged in
the wider case since September 2022, which prosecutors say was the
nation’s largest pandemic-era fraud scheme. 

The investigation has since led to fraud charges in connection with
several Medicaid programs in Minnesota. Bock is white, but most of her
co-defendants in the Feeding Our Future case are Somali-American.
National attention to the case in late 2025 prompted racist comments
from President Donald Trump along with increased immigration enforcement
targeting the community, though the vast majority are naturalized U.S.
citizens. 

The government has secured 65 convictions, largely through guilty pleas.
Of the 13 people sentenced, Abdiaziz Farah, another key player, received
28 years, the longest prison term handed down so far. Farah could face
additional time when he’s sentenced separately for his role in an
attempt to bribe a juror during his 2024 trial. 

In a document filed on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Murphy
and Rebecca Kline allege that Bock, 45, the founder of the defunct
nonprofit Feeding Our Future, violated a 2022 protective order from U.S.
District Judge Nancy Brasel that requires all parties to the case to
hold most evidence in the case “in strict confidentiality.” 

Murphy and Kline say that on April 2, an unnamed Minnesota state
representative received two emails from a Proton Mail address. The
sender, “Daisy Hill” claimed that “Tim Walz, Keith Ellison and the
Minnesota Department of Education intentionally set Feeding Our Future
and Aimee Bock up as a scapegoat.” 

A March 17 email to MPR News from a sender with the same name includes
identical language. In a subsequent message, the sender promised to send
“examples of fraud in MN that were identified and stopped by Aimee Bock
and Feeding Our Future.” 

The emailer later sent files including screenshots of text messages,
other communications, and audio recordings that Bock apparently made of
conversations with operators of meal sites. MPR News did not verify the
authenticity of the documents shared in the anonymous emails until the
Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office leveled the fresh allegations against
Bock in the Tuesday court filing. 

MPR News replied to the “Daisy Hill” address on Tuesday to request
comment about the government’s new allegations. 

Kenneth Udoibok, Bock’s defense attorney, said in an email reply to MPR
News that his client’s sons “in an inartful way” are “hoping that the
media and the legislative branch see their mom’s plight. Aimee is not
trying to harm or intimidate anyone; rather, she wants the whole truth
out before the legislature and the president. She’s crying for help!!!” 

In their motion, the prosecutors also recount that on April 21, they
learned that a Minnesota Star Tribune reporter contacted an attorney for
a cooperating witness in the case and said that “they had obtained
copies of reports of two of the witnesses’ law enforcement interviews”
and intended to quote from them in an article about “the conduct of
certain uncharged individuals.” 

Murphy and Kline write that they learned through another attorney that
the reporter “had claimed to have over one hundred law enforcement
interview reports” and that given their nature “they could only have
come from the government’s discovery disclosures,” in violation of the
protective order. 

Bock has been held in the Sherburne County Jail for more than a year as
she awaits sentencing. Citing recorded jail calls, prosecutors say Bock
directed her son, Camden Bock, 20, to download documents from her case
from a Dropbox account and send them to elected officials and news
reporters. 

“Her purpose for doing so can best be described as a public relations
campaign — to seek to minimize her starring role in pilfering the
Federal Child Nutrition Program while casting the ‘real’ blame for the
rampant fraud on the Walz administration, state administrators and
uncharged individuals,” Murphy and Kline write in their filing. 

On March 16, the day before MPR News received the first email from
“Daisy Hill,” Bock allegedly directed her son to download documents that
she believed would show that she tried to combat fraud in the nonprofit
she once led. 

“She told Camden to remove the trial exhibit stickers, and other
markings indicating the documents came from her federal criminal case,
before emailing them from a newly created Proton Mail account to ‘all
republicans [sic] and the media,’” the prosecutors write. 

In late March, “Bock told Camden to send the files to ‘Republicans in
DC,’ especially the ‘guy who told [Minnesota Attorney General Keith]
Ellison he should be in jail’ and the ‘right wing people that
[President] Trump follows.’” 

On April 1, Bock allegedly told her son Cale Bock, 19, that a Star
Tribune reporter had been planning a “whole story on [an uncharged
individual] and why she never got indicted,” and explained that Camden
used an email account with a “fake name.” 

In a later conversation, when Camden voiced concerns that speaking to
the media might result in a longer sentence, Bock allegedly replied
“they want to sentence me to life anyway.” 

In an April 19 call with an unidentified person, according to
prosecutors, Bock said that “someone had given the Star Tribune reporter
“every interview the FBI did with people.” 

Murphy and Kline write that they can’t say “with absolute certainty
whether Bock is the person directly responsible” for leaking cooperating
witness statements to the newspaper, “it is clear that she was leaking
other protected documents” to the media and is endangering “the safety
of those witnesses who have chosen to come forward and speak to law
enforcement.” 

The prosecutors are asking Judge Brasel to prohibit Bock from accessing
her Dropbox account and surrender all copies of any protected files in
her control, including Camden Bock’s computer. The government is also
seeking to prohibit Bock from “any form of contact” with her sons prior
to her sentencing hearing. 

Brasel ordered Bock’s attorney to respond to the government’s request by
5 p.m. Wednesday. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Thursday
afternoon.
