ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – A Rochester woman has been sentenced in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
Zamzam Jama previously pleaded guilty in February 2025 to money laundering for her role in the scheme that exploited $250 million of federal funding for a child nutrition program.
Jama received a sentence of six months. Court records show Jama must voluntarily surrender to her “place of confinement” by Jun. 2. If a designation has not been determined she will need to surrender to the U.S. Marshal Services in Minneapolis by that date.
Jama, along with five others from Rochester, operated out of the Brava Restaurant and Cafe in Rochester. The conspirators claimed the restaurant served 2,000 to 3,000 daily meals to children.
In total, the restaurant received approximately $4.3 million in fraudulent child nutrition program funds. Jama was responsible for $491,245 of the stolen funds.

THE TD BANK INSIDER “BRIBE-FOR-DATA” SCHEME (USA)
Date: February 17, 2026 Perpetrator: Edward Low (Former Bank Employee)
Case Description: In a high-profile case of “Insider Threat,” Edward Low, a former employee of TD Bank in New York, pleaded guilty in a New Jersey federal court to accepting bribes in exchange for confidential customer data. Between 2021 and 2022, Low leveraged his internal access to harvest the personal details of high-balance account holders. He then sold this “hot data” to external fraud syndicates for as little as $26,700 in personal kickbacks.
The external fraudsters used the information Low provided to conduct “Account Takeovers” (ATO), creating fraudulent checks and falsifying bank records to drain over $500,000 from unsuspecting customers. Low even went as far as helping co-conspirators open shell company accounts at a second financial institution where he was later employed. He now faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. This case has sent shockwaves through the global banking sector, highlighting that even the most robust external firewalls cannot protect against a “rogue insider” with administrative credentials.
