BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- More than a dozen Baltimore-area retailers are accused of misusing food stamps and defrauding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) of millions of dollars.
The indictments, announced Tuesday, come roughly three years after nine local retailers were charged in what prosecutors described as a "$7 million scheme" of trading food stamps for cash.
All the defendants in that case were convicted.
"Last year the Dept. of Agriculture Inspector General brought to our attention that many Baltimore-area retailers were continuing to rip-off the food stamp program," United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein said Tuesday. "With the support of the FBI we launched another large-scale investigation of food stamp fraud."
The investigation involved data analysis, confidential informants and undercover agents, surveillance and grand jury subpoenas.
As a result of the investigation officials returned nine indictments charging 14 people for defrauding the federal food stamp program, with a total loss of more than $16 million, Rosenstein said.
All 14 defendants were arrested Tuesday morning. Law enforcement officers also executed 26 federal search warrants and seized 46 bank accounts.
"In this case some greedy and corrupt store owners traded EBT credits for cash instead of food," Rosenstein said. "The store owner for example would give the customer $50 in cash and then would bill the Dept. of Agriculture $100. The store owner pockets the extra $50 and no food changes hands."
According to the indictments, the defendants below owned and/or Baltimore-area stores that were authorized to accept SNAP and were instructed on the requirements and regulations of the program:
Prosecutors say the defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for each count of wire fraud; a maximum of five years in prison for conspiracy to commit food stamp fraud and wire fraud; and a maximum of five years in prison for food stamp fraud.
Rosenstein was joined by FBI Special Agent in Charge Kevin Perkins and USDA - OIG Investigations Special Agent in Charge William G. Squires, Jr., at the briefing.

Until we get rid of corporate personhood which has bled America and other countries out of billions since the 14th Amendment - Jorge, Shameka, Jethro and Billy Bob can get their pennies by any means necessary. Feel sorry for the people who used their EBT money to pay utilities and other necessities since states have reduced unemployment benefits and aid programs. fukk that shyt, can't believe they wasted money on this, probably cost just as much in manpower and tax payers money.
Some conservative will introduce legislation years from now to ration, government cheese, and peanut butter like in the 1960s to "prevent fraud and abuse". The world is fukking sad.
