A Seattle man pleaded guilty to his role in bribing a juror in the Feeding Our Future trial with a bag of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash .
Said Farah, 43, is the fifth and final defendant to plead guilty in the scheme, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. All defendants are currently awaiting sentencing.
Two of the defendants are Said Farah's brothers: Abdulkarim Farah and Abdiaziz Farah. Abdimajid Nur and Ladan Ali were also convicted in the bribery plot.
The bribe attempt surrounded the trial of seven defendants in one of the country's largest COVID-19-related fraud cases . The defendants were accused of coordinating to steal more than $40 million from a federal program that was supposed to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
