Abdinasir Abshir Jailed for Witness Tampering in Feeding Our Future Case

Abdinasir Abshir, a defendant in the Feeding Our Future fraud case, has been ordered to jail following allegations of witness tampering. Prosecutors claim Abshir attempted to intimidate a witness, Sharmake Jama, who was set to testify against Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock and co-defendant Salim Said. Abshir allegedly approached Jama in a courthouse hallway and suggested they go to the bathroom to speak privately, raising concerns about his intent. As a result, he faces a detention hearing where a judge will decide whether he remains in custody until his trial, scheduled for August. This incident adds to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Feeding Our Future scandal, which has been labeled one of the largest pandemic fraud cases in the U.S., involving approximately $250 million in misappropriated federal funds. The case continues to unfold, with multiple defendants facing serious charges related to the fraudulent scheme.
