A hijab sure comes in handy when you\u2019re on your way to court to plead guilty to fleecing U.S. taxpayers for millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cdaycare owner\u201d who allegedly tried to flee the United States two days after shutting her center down was part of what prosecutors have called the largest pandemic fraud case in the country.<\/p>\n

\n

Meet Fahima Mahamud:
\n\u2013 Operated the largest government funded Learing Center in Minnesota, received over $4.6 million
\n\u2013 Also received $850,000 for the Feeding Our Future scam and bought real estate with the money
\n\u2013 Tried to escape to the UK before being caught by the FBI

More from CBS News:<\/p>\n

\n

Prosecutors said Mahamud ran Future Leaders Early Learning and pocketed money meant to feed children during the pandemic. Charges said she received more than $850,000 in fraudulent funds as part of the Feeding Our Future scheme, using most of that money to buy real estate. She also filed separate claims for about $4.6 million from the federal Child Care Assistance Program, according to the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

Mahamud notified the state in February that Future Leaders was closing. That same day, she booked a flight to London, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ringleader of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, Aimee Bock, was sentenced to more than 41 years in prison in May after she was convicted in a staggering $250 million fraud case.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeding Our Future operated like a cash pipeline, open to anyone willing to submit fraudulent claims and pay kickbacks,\u201d prosecutors said at the time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, honest American citizens get up every morning and go to work, forced to pay taxes with hard-earned cash they cannot afford to part with, only to watch their money fund lavish lifestyles of criminals, many of whom have migrated to this country, who have created a cottage industry in defrauding the U.S. government \u2014 often with the full protection of the Democratic Party, it seems.<\/p>\n

The underlying question here may be who is guiding individuals with limited English proficiency to so expertly navigate the complex government maze required to access these funds?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:<\/p>\n

\n

Are these people smart? Navigating government benefits isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s tons and tons of paperwork. Who\u2019s helping them?<\/p>\n

Women don\u2019t build $3 million fr@ud operations from scratch without the infrastructure men control. Banking. Legal structures. Financial systems. Someone with access and knowledge helped design this and they are not in that photo walking to court https:\/\/t.co\/pboVlQOxBk<\/a><\/p>\n

Officials called us racists for knocking on daycare doors and simply asking questions. I gotta admit\u2026every guilty plea is marvelously vindicating.<\/p>\n

Well done Nick!!<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll just be a damn burden on American taxpayers while sitting in prison. I want every single fraudster found guilty deported immediately \u2014 all their assets seized \u2014 then permanently banned from ever entering America again! \"\ud83d\ude44\"<\/p>\n
