Food Stamp Fraud

Via the Express-News:
Rezaei in August pleaded guilty in the fraud investigation involving swapping card benefits from participants in the food stamp program for discounted amounts of cash. Prosecutors say Rezaei would then charge the government for the full value of the Lone Star card transaction.
When people rail against the supposed Welfare Queen, they've most likely come across a person like Resaei -- someone who buys Lone Star cards for a lesser value.

in front of a well known bakery I was approached by a man with a lonestar card. He wanted $5.00 case on a $20.00 card balance. I declined and paid cash for my pan de rosca.

People will also use the cash to pay for utility bills, or outstanding loans.
