Somali fraud has temporarily receded from the public consciousness due to the ongoing war in Iran. Estimates range from $9 billion to $19 billion in Minnesota alone. Of course, this is not eh only state where this is taking place. One unusual aspect to the potential fraud situation in Minnesota is Rep. Ilhan Omar and her current husband Tim Mynett. That’s the one that is not her brother.
Steve Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes, isn’t mincing words about Omar and Mynett’s sudden wealth explosion. In a pointed interview clip, Forbes dismantles the story behind their reported net worth jump—from near zero to potentially tens of millions—tied to Mynett’s shadowy “investment firm” and other ventures.
Forbes lays it out plainly:
“His investment firm — It’s DC headquarters appear to share office space at a WeWork. There’s no track record of his firm managing money, doing M&A deals, no clients we see, no investment deals or any work it’s done.
They say they do work in 80 nations operating in. There’s no SEC registrations for them as investment advisers. What is going on here?
This increasingly looks sketchy, both the winery and his investment firm. Yeah, the winery may not exist and the firm may be just a really a name only.
It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses, where they come in, she had under $1,000 of net worth, and her husband didn’t have much, and suddenly now they’re multimillionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here — something is not right.
That $30 million came from sources that are illegal, period.”
The numbers don’t add up, and Forbes is asking the obvious questions conservatives have been demanding answers to for years. No clients. No deals. No SEC paperwork. Just a WeWork address and big claims. Yet somehow the money piles up.
Washington’s double standard is glaring: everyday Americans get audited over pocket change, while certain politicians turn public service into private windfalls with zero explanation. Time for real accountability—no more excuses, no more delays. If the evidence holds, this isn’t just sketchy. It’s criminal.
How long before the indictments drop? When will Omar claim that she is being targeted because she is Somali? Is it time to begin deportation hearings?
