An X-posted TikTok video shows a woman dancing in a Walmart checkout after an alleged $3,000 SNAP/EBT purchase; the $3,000 amount is unverified by the Daily Dot, and the clip has sparked online debate about public assistance, eligibility, and the challenges faced by beneficiaries, with commenters noting that social media posts often lack full context about household size and needs.
Prosecutors say Abdid-Wahid Mohamed, owner of Minnesota Food Grocery LLC in Minneapolis, used other people’s EBT cards to collect more than $1 million in SNAP benefits, buying items at wholesale and reselling them at his store. A woman identified as F.F. allegedly allowed him to use her card for over 1.5 years, with $1,141,082 in EBT payments between March 2021 and August 2021. If convicted, Mohamed faces up to 20 years in prison; charges were filed in May 2026 and his first court appearance is May 27.
