Religion of Food Stamp Fraud, Episode #334,271
By Debbie Schlussel
Hmmm . . . for the life of me, I can’t figure out why what these people did is wrong. After all, aren’t we supposed to be tolerant of others’ lifestyles and values that are different than our own?
That’s what they keep telling us.
I wrote about this charming couple, last year. Now they’ve finally been sentenced. A question that hasn’t been answered: how much of this money did these Shi’ite Muslims send back to Hezbollah in their native Lebanon?
A Dearborn[ISTAN] man and wife who ran a Detroit convenience store were both sent to prison for food stamp fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Wasfi Shalhout, 50, was sentenced to 36 months in prison. His wife, Fatima Shalhout, 43, was sentenced to 30 months in prison.
The Shalhouts, who ran Ann’s Market in Detroit, were sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge Paul D. Borman.
The Court was told the couple tried to defraud the federal government of about $1.3 million by paying customers about 50 cents on the dollar for their food stamp benefits, then getting reimbursed by the government for the entire amount. . . .
Attorney Harold Fried said in a sentencing memorandum that Wasfi Shalhout “is extremely remorseful for his actions,” and “realizes that he has humiliated, embarrassed and shamed himself, his children, and all those who have supported him.”
Uh, no, they are extremely “remorseful” that they got caught. And so nice that these Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah constituents hired an “evil Zionist” lawyer to defend them. Typical.
More:
U.S. District Judge Paul Borgman sentenced Fatima Shalhout, 43, president, secretary and treasurer of Ranyah Management Inc. doing business as Ann’s Market, and Wasfi Shalhout, 50, the company operations and business manager. . . .
The Shalhouts allegedly charged a total of $1.26 million in fraudulent transactions, but restitution was for only $1.17 million. The government had already seized about $80,000 through warrants in the case.
Yeah, good luck getting that money back. Like I said, it’s already been invested in some Hezbo rockets, back home, aimed at Israel.
It should be noted that this and other food stamp busts of Muslims in and around Dearbornistan and Detroit were the work NOT of the incompetent FBI. In this case, the successful investigation was the work of IRS agents and those who work for the Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Inspector General. Most other successful cases like this–where food stamp fraud in Michigan is foiled (and usually perpetrated by Muslim Arabs)–are the work of the Michigan State Police and a special unit run by Michigan State Police Detective Lt. Marty Bugbee.
Yet another peek into the inner workings of the muzlum “mind”. That’s all they know how to do – scam the system and use Western Laws against the Infidel. It’s obviously against their “religion” to be honest – after all, mohammad instructed his followers to screw the Infidel any way they can.
