Thirty-three-year-old Iowa farmer Tanner Seuntjens received a thirteen-year prison sentence for defrauding taxpayers of over $1.7 million in agricultural subsidies. He pleaded guilty to various crimes, including stealing government funds, identity theft, crop insurance fraud, and stalking. Seuntjens scheme involved faking ownership of thousands of swine to secure COVID-19 food assistance grants, forging documents, and selling off suppliers property under fake names. He also underreported yields to receive insurance payouts and stalked a victim despite no-contact orders. The Justice Department recently established a National Fraud Enforcement Division to combat such subsidy fraud.
