School graduation celebrations have gotten completely out of control!! The founder of Feeding Our Future was sentenced to over 41 years (500 months) for her role in the sprawling fraud scheme on Thursday morning. Aimee Bock, 45, was convicted on all counts following a more than six-week federal jury trial last year. Prosecutors asked the judge to sentence Bock to 50 years in prison, while her attorney asked for either time served or a maximum of 37 months. The former prosecution team, Joe Thompson, Harry Jacobs, Matthew Ebert and Daniel Bobier, attended the sentencing. Joining them were law enforcement who worked on the case, and even several jurors from the six-week trial. Top federal officials on Thursday announced prosecutions against 15 defendants accused of defrauding government services. Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald, the head of the Department of Justice’s Fraud Enforcement Division, said the charges brought this week targeted “shocking” schemes that reaped $90 million in taxpayer funds.

Blackstone, the world’s largest private owner of data centers, will invest $5 billion in equity capital in a new artificial intelligence infrastructure company with Google, the New York-based asset management firm announced Monday. Google will supply the new U.S.-based company with its tensor processing units — chips purpose-built for processing artificial intelligence computations — bringing the first 500 megawatts of compute capacity online by 2027, with “plans to scale significantly over time,” Blackstone said in a statement. “This new company has enormous potential as it helps to meet the unprecedented demand for compute,” Jon Gray, President and COO of Blackstone, said in the statement. The unnamed company will be helmed by Benjamin Treynor Sloss, who most recently served as Google’s chief programs officer. A Google spokesperson declined to comment on whether Google would retain a direct leadership role in it. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the joint venture before Blackstone’s official statement, said the private equity giant would hold a majority stake, citing sources familiar with the matter. Blackstone did not disclose the venture’s ownership structure in its statement, and did not respond to CNBC’s request for comment by publication time. The Journal also reported that the joint venture has already identified likely data center locations, some of which are under construction. Blackstone, which manages more than $1.3 trillion in assets, has invested aggressively across the AI ecosystem and, earlier this month, established a similar venture with Anthropic. Shares of Alphabet and Blackstone rose by about 1% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.

The Twin Cities media loses two legends in the past week.

Join us as we sit down with Kirsten Swanson, a 5 Eyewitness News investigative reporter. Kirsten walks through the newly obtained data showing DHS paid bonuses to program staff and eligibility specialists in the Housing Stabilization Services program and beyond, amid exploding Medicaid spending and ongoing fraud concerns. Also joining the conversation is DHS whistleblower Faye Bernstein, a 20-year veteran of the agency who has faced retaliation for sounding the alarm on fraud risks years ago. Faye shares her unfiltered take on the recent revelations of DHS handing out bonuses to staff overseeing fraud-riddled programs even as massive waste, improper payments, and red flags piled up. She explains why she believes some of these bonuses went to people who shouldn't have received them and what it says about priorities at the agency. From whistleblower retaliation to taxpayer dollars vanishing into questionable awards, this episode pulls back the curtain on how Minnesota's largest agency has handled (or mishandled) oversight during a time of record fraud losses.
