Gordon knew it was illegal to transfer SNAP benefits in exchange for cash, or for any
consideration other than eligible food items.
The full amount of SNAP benefits redeemed in exchange for discounted cash were deposited
into Ogunleyes Omni American Bank and Bank of America accounts held in Arlington, Texas.
Between April 9, 2010, and June 17, 2013, SNAP redemptions totaling $2,109,859 were
deposited into those two accounts.
Ogunleye, who provided all cash funds that were distributed to customers in exchange for
benefits, also collected and retained the bulk of the proceeds obtained from SNAP because of
this scheme. For his part as a store clerk, Gordon, who was instructed by Gordon to purchase
food stamp benefits in exchange for cash, received a weekly salary from Ogunleye ranging from
$300 - $600 throughout the course of his participation in the conspiracy.
The USDA Office of Inspector General investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney P. J. Meitl
