If everyone could please stop stealing our tax dollars that would be great.

Please?

Here's the DOJ on the charges filed against a manager and employee at a Pittsburgh 7-Eleven where they managed to bilk you out of $600,000:

Abdou Jallow, 55, and Alicia Mastrantoni, 39, both of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were charged by Criminal Complaint with food stamp fraud in connection with exchanging SNAP benefits for cash.

A West African and an Italian!

As alleged in the complaint, Jallow, manager of a Pittsburgh convenience store, and Mastrantoni, an employee of the same store, exchanged these SNAP benefits for cash for various store customers, many of whom used this cash to purchase illegal controlled substances.

They traded food stamp benefits for drug money.

Our tax dollars at work.

Jallow and Mastrantoni attempted to conceal the nature of these transactions by using fraudulent universal product codes (UPCs) on the store's cash register. The store was identified as being involved in fraud through the SNAP benefit transactions, which were significantly high in both volume and dollar amount. It is believed that Jallow and Mastrantoni fraudulently exchanged over $550,000 in SNAP benefits over the course of the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nicole A. Stockey of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

How many of these cases do we have to see before Democrats admit that fraud exists and that our welfare programs are just funneling money to some of the worst people in the country?

(They're never going to admit it.)
