How much more of this is going on in the United States? The Department of Justice has charged two Haitian men of defrauding the federal SNAP program. The men according to prosecutors reportedly stole $7 million in SNAP benefits and raked in nearly $500,000 a month. Will Cain at Fox News broke down the fraud: Here’s a backup video if needed: IT’S OFFICIAL: 2 Haitian men face up to 5 years in prison after being charged with MASSIVE SNAP fraud, using small storefronts to receive $500K PER MONTH. $7M total.

The suspects, 74-year-old Antonio Bonheur and 21-year-old Saul Alisme, each face one charge of food stamp fraud. District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said the two men used small storefronts, the Jesula Variety Store and Saul Mache Mixe Store, to redeem the SNAP benefits sometimes amounting to $500,000 per month. “These were not supermarkets. They were not full-service groceries. It would be a huge stretch to even call them convenience stores,” Foley said at a Wednesday press conference. “The only thing convenient about these stores was how easy it was to commit SNAP benefit fraud.” “This was not a sophisticated fraud scene, and it didn’t have to be because a lack of oversight was all that was needed to allow it to happen,” Foley said. If convicted, the two men face up to five years in prison as well as three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Prosecutors say the vast majority of the fraud took place from the Jesula storefront. Gov. Maura Healey says state officials notified federal authorities about suspicious transactions at the store earlier this year. “My administration reported this suspicious activity to the federal government for investigation and prosecution over a year ago,” Healey said in a statement. “As a former Attorney General and now Governor, I will always support prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for anyone who engages in fraud or abuse of a federal program or any program.” Watch the press conference below: HOLY HELL: Massive $7M SNAP fraud busted in Massachusetts, Haitian nationals Antonio Bonheur & Saul Alisme ran fake tiny stores, raking in up to $500K/month turning food stamps into straight CASH! pic.twitter.com/yk8ceElHR1 — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) December 18, 2025
