I Caught A Fraudster In The Act…

I went undercover in Seattle to expose food stamp (EBT) fraud and filmed a $120 EBT card being rung up for one can of Spam and a pack of sushi. A tip from a man on the street and the legendary    / @choeshow   led us to a market, a confrontation on camera, and a stolen gun that sent a mob after our security. Food stamps are supposed to feed people who are struggling. On the streets of Seattle, people told us EBT cards get sold for cash at a fraction of their value, with the cash often going straight to drugs, and we found cards scattered through homeless encampments. I teamed up with citizen journalists Jonathan Choe, Grant and Darren to go undercover as sellers, follow the trail, and see who is allegedly cashing in on a program paid for with your tax dollars.
