I just read a judge threw out the case against MN fraud case. MN being so blue state it doesn't have a chance for tis huge fraud case to even make the news. Lol
" “While there was a significant amount of investigation and work put into the case against Mr. Yusif, there was not enough from which to infer Mr. Yusuf’s guilt,” West asserted, finding that withdrawals signed by him were just “purported to be.”
“While the Court is troubled by the manner in which fraud was able to be perpetuated at Promise, the State’s evidence did not exclude other reasonable, rational inferences that are inconsistent with Mr. Yusuf’s guilt,” West wrote.
West reasoned that, while Yusuf owned the organization, it was his brother, Mohamed Yusuf, who was being fraudulent. “[T]he State overinflates the actual fraud in their investigation and presentation, failed to provide actual circumstantial evidence tying Mr. Yusuf to his brother’s activities, and the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction for the six counts of Aiding and Abetting Theft By Swindle.”
West noted that while the court was “concerned that he may have been more involved than the evidence presented makes it appear,” ultimately she found that she had no other option than to grant defense’s motion due to “the reasonable inference inconsistent with guilt that comes from the case presented.”
The Attorney General’s Office is appealing."

Looks like the brother may still be going down?
