A federal judge has approved a preliminary order that could allow the government to seize cash, property and a luxury vehicle from Aimee Bock, the ringleader of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

The order, signed Tuesday, is not final. A permanent decision on forfeiture will come at Bock’s sentencing. She was 

 of orchestrating a scheme that exploited federal child nutrition programs and fleeced taxpayers out of about $250 million.

The forfeiture motion was filed by the U.S. attorney’s office. Assets tied to Bock that could be seized include about $3.7 million in bank accounts and cash, a 2013 Porsche, and electronics, clothing and jewelry taken during a 2022 search of her home.

The total forfeiture judgment against Bock is listed at $5.2 million.

Dozens of other defendants have been charged or convicted in the case.
