Seattle Police have arrested two men who allegedly were involved in a scheme to exploit victims' access to EBT and food assistance and used EBT in exchange for drugs. FOX13
Police said these types of exchanges often happen outside Lam's Seafood, an Asian grocery market near Seattle's Chinatown International District.
Police say these deals involve the two men shopping with the EBT card holder, picking out items themselves and then offering cash after the sale. They say the cardholder would get, at best, fifty cents on the dollar.
