How do fake stores pull six times the SNAP volume of a real supermarket without alarms?

HOLY CRAP. Federal prosecutors just blew the lid off a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Boston.

Two Haitian nationals have been charged for running so-called “ghost stores” — tiny shops with barely any inventory that were somehow cashing $540,000 a MONTH in EBT.

Let that sink in.

That’s SIX TIMES the SNAP volume of a real, fully stocked supermarket.

The stores were allegedly used to trade EBT for cash and illegal items, draining taxpayer funds at an insane scale.

This wasn’t a corner store hustle.
This was industrial-level fraud.

And people still wonder where the money goes. 👀🔥
