DOJ 2022: president/owner of ThinkTechAct Foundation (aka Mind Foundry); dozens of sites; >$18M alleged. Star Tribune: guilty plea in 2025 conviction wave. MN House lists as Omar donor — label donation claim separately from the DOJ case facts. [1]

Beyond $7,400: the eight-name donor ledger

Mainstream reporting locked $7,400 / three defendants. MN House + Weingarten claim a longer Omar-linked donor list. Separate ledgers. [4]

Baseline (documented in KARE/Sahan): $7,400 from three defendants; Ghedi and Abdihakim named at $2,700 each; charity redirect. [1][2] [4]

Chapter 6

Spider web: how far is Omar from each fraud thread?

Interactive degrees-of-separation map centered on Ilhan Omar. Only documented adjacencies appear — no invented edges. MSP cash flights and bare Medicaid program names stay off the web when no named associate path exists. [5]

The spider web (section [#assoc-web](#assoc-web)) plots **distance bands**, not guilt. Center: Ilhan Omar. Rings: direct/documented office or campaign touch → one hop through a named associate → political-oversight adjacency. Edge labels carry epistemology (exhibit title vs body; House donor list vs KARE $7,400; Bock’s claim vs DOJ finding). [5]

Chapter 7

One hop: Ibrahim → Empire/Farah → the jury bribe

Mahad Ibrahim (House-listed Omar donor; ThinkTechAct) sits in the same DOJ Empire Cuisine indictment web as Abdiaziz Farah. Farah’s network ran the ~$120k juror bribe. Path exists; Omar–bribe is not a direct edge. [6]

DOJ’s Farah superseding indictment places Mahad Ibrahim as president/owner of ThinkTechAct (Mind Foundry) and Abdiaziz Farah as an Empire Cuisine co-owner who also sat on ThinkTechAct’s board — same charged vendor/site network. [1][2][3] [6]
