Day 486
1 documented win
Shirley daycare owner charged
The win
Federal prosecutors charged the owner of Future Leaders Early Learning — a Minneapolis center in Nick Shirley’s viral video — with wire fraud and conspiracy in a $4.6 million childcare-assistance scheme, overlapping the Feeding Our Future meal-fraud web.
For Americans
A viral video is an allegation. An indictment is how the allegation becomes a case. That is the difference between content and a win for people whose taxes were walking out the door.
