Federal prosecutors unsealed a major fraud indictment Wednesday, charging two Haitian migrants with operating a $7 million Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit trafficking scheme out of two small retail storefronts in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood.

According to a newly filed federal criminal complaint, Antonio Bonheur, 74, and Saul Alisme, 21, are each charged with one count of SNAP fraud for trafficking millions of dollars in SNAP (food stamp) benefits, turning a program meant to feed struggling families into a cash machine for fraudsters.

The USDA Office of Inspector General, working alongside the FBI, charged Antonio Bonheur, owner of Jesula Variety Store, and Saul Alisme, owner of Saul Mache Mixe Store, with food stamp fraud under federal law.

Investigators allege that Bonheur’s store, a so-called “medium grocery store” that is only about 150 square feet and lacks shopping carts, baskets, scanners, refrigerators, meat, dairy, or produce, somehow processed over $6.9 million in SNAP transactions between 2021 and 2025.

The only way to get rid of the fraud in "snap benefits" is to...
... eliminate snap benefits altogether.

Works for me.

Shut it down, make people re-up. If we have to have the system, reboot it.
