Mukhtar Sharif grew up in Seattle, Washington. He went on to graduate from university and later landed a job likely at Microsoft or Boeing. Then, he received a phone call from clan associates urging him to move to Minnesota and join the booming “social entrepreneurship” industry.
In this context,social entrepreneurship is a term conned by these individuals to describe profiting from state and federal grants in dubious ways under the guise of serving the community. The Geeljires in Minnesota have mastered this scheme, opening autism centers, adult group homes, and home health agencies among other all of which fall under their version of social entrepreneurship. In reality, it is a system designed to exploit government funds through bogus community activism and services.
Back to Mukhtar, he moved to Minnesota and immediately became involved in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. He was lured into it by a particular mosque and its leadership. To them, Mukhtar was the perfect recruit. They likely told him, Adeero , we dont know the system. You grew up here, so grab that money for us to advance the mosque’s needs.Mukhtar proceeded to register the mosque as a feeding center. By 2020-2021, he had received $17 million under his name, though he only pocketed $1 million.
Fast forward to January 2022. Mukhtar was riding high. He had launched a slick podcast with a state-of-the-art studio, bought a house, and was living comfortably with his young, beautiful wife and their children, all under five years old. Then, in February 2022, his world came crashing down. The FBI raided his home. Soon after, he was indicted.
He wasnt alone. More than 60 individuals were indicted as part of the scheme. As the government began prosecuting them, many took plea deals. However, stubborn Mukhtar, confident in his educational superiority over the rest of the peasant Geeljires, decided to go to trial against the federal government. A risky move, considering the federal conviction rate is 85%. Nevertheless, he dismissed the odds.
In court, he took the stand, claiming he was lured from Seattle by someone named Abraham and that he had no idea what was going on. He insisted he didn't use all the money. But things took a disastrous turn. His co-defendants attempted to bribe a juror. Although he wasnt directly involved, he was in a group chat where the plot was discussed. When they returned to court, the FBI stormed in and confiscated everyone’s phones. Mukhtar’s phone revealed that he knew about the bribery attempt. Worse yet, they discovered he had secretly recorded 30 hours of court proceedings.
The jury found him guilty. When sentencing arrived, the judge was furious. She told him he had shown total disrespect for the law, the courts, and for her personally. She threw the book at him by sentencing him to 17 years in prison.
And his wife? No young woman sticks around in these situations I am sure. 17 years !
Do you feel bad for him?
