Fox News
The convicted ringleader of Minnesota's massive Feeding Our Future fraud case faces forfeiture of her luxury Porsche, designer bags and $5.2 million in assets.
Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
The assets include about $3.7 million in bank accounts and cash, a 2013 Porsche and luxury items taken from her home, according to MPR News. The U.S. attorney’s office listed the total forfeiture judgment at $5.2 million. Federal agents seized the assets in 2022, and the judge has now approved their forfeiture on a preliminary basis following Bock’s conviction.
