Aimee Bock testified on her own behalf in the Feeding Our Future fraud trial. Bock is accused of leading the $250 million fraud.

Over the objections of her attorney, Aimee Book took the witness stand in her defense Friday but she did not get a chance to address her role as the alleged ringleader of an extraordinary $250 million fraud scheme before the judge ended testimony for the day in the federal trial.

The video also showed Bock receiving a plaque of appreciation, which said, “In recognition and appreciation for your outstanding leadership.”
