But none of the videos showed those crowds, lead prosecutor Joe Thompson noted during his cross-examination. In fact, Thompson noted, there wasn’t a single child in any of the 20 to 30 videos shown to the jury, and the longest line of cars contained fewer than a dozen vehicles. There were also no photos of any police officers directing traffic.
When asked why there were no videos of kids or families collecting meals, Liban said: “Some people, they don’t allow to be videotaped. It is for their privacy.”
Liban said his work as a social media influencer ended when the federal investigation of Feeding Our Future went public in early 2022. After earning almost $200,000 in a single year, he is now driving for Uber. When he closed his business bank account in 2022, it was overdrawn by $902.
“Since food was over, I decided to close it,” Liban testified. “I am not without a job. But you know what, in America, accounts get overdrawn all the time. It can happen.”
