Bag of cash doesn't stop jurors from convicting 5 of 7 defendants in $40M fraud scheme
KSL.com
MINNEAPOLIS — A jury convicted five Minnesota residents and acquitted two others on Friday for their roles in a scheme to steal more than $40 million from a program that was supposed to feed children during the coronavirus pandemic.
The case received widespread attention after someone tried to bribe a juror with a bag of $120,000 in cash.
That juror was dismissed before deliberations began, and a second juror who was told about it also was dismissed. An FBI investigation of the attempted bribe continues, with no arrests announced.
