Charity boss blew $10million taxpayer cash meant to feed poor children on mansions for her family and yellow Mercedes for her lover, court hears

The executive director of a Missouri nonprofit stole $10 million from a program intended to provide meals for low-income children and blew it on mansions and luxury cars, her trial heard.

Connie Bobo, 46, ran the New Heights Community Resource Center, in the St Louis suburb of Bridgeton, for a decade.

She enrolled the charity in two US Department of Agriculture-funded programs that reimburse nonprofits for distributing food to needy children, prosecutors said.

Bobo is accused of claiming $20 million in reimbursements for New Heights despite having only purchased enough food and milk to serve fewer than three million meals.

She instead used the funds 'on a mansion for herself, on houses for her family and a bright yellow Mercedes for her boyfriend,' her trial heard Tuesday, according to the St Louis Post-Dispatch.

Her attorney, however, told the jury that Bobo did not intentionally violate the rules of the federal program and had tried to correct the issues before her arrest.

The defense further alleged that all of her actions were made in the 'best interest of the community and an attempt to give back'.

Bobo has been charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.

To which politicians did she or her organization make donations or which politicians' nepo babies did they employ?

Something that large does not happen in a vacuum.  It's a canary in a coal mine.  Follow the money and the earmarks.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Black women stealing to get rich seem to be permeating the news lately.  Most are politicians.
