# Empire Cuisine *Minnesota business named in the project's at-issue record as a storefront that trial testimony put at $25 million.* **Empire Cuisine** is a business in [[Minnesota]] that appears in one entry of this project's at-issue record, pair AI-Scott-021. The entry describes Empire Cuisine as "the storefront that trial testimony put at $25 million".[^1] The pack does not contain the trial testimony itself, a filed court record, or an agency source for that figure. The figure is therefore stated here only as the at-issue record reports it.[^1] The same entry sets Empire Cuisine beside a 205-page congressional report on Minnesota fraud. According to the project's full-text search, that report does not contain the business's name.[^1] The project anchors the entry to a March 2025 presidential action, *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos*.[^1] ## Who The at-issue record names Empire Cuisine as a storefront. The pack identifies no owners, officers or filings for the business.[^1] The entry also lists Shamsia Hopes among the terms searched. The pack does not state what relationship, if any, Shamsia Hopes has to Empire Cuisine.[^1] ## How much According to the at-issue record, trial testimony put the storefront at $25 million.[^1] The pack does not identify the case, docket or date of that testimony. The record here does not establish what the $25 million represents.[^1] ## In the at-issue record Pair AI-Scott-021 appears in the project's *The Immunity Architecture & the Consequence-Free Malfeasance Edition* (Matrix 4.4). It concerns a 205-page congressional report on Minnesota fraud.[^1] The project reports a full-text search of that report for nine terms, with no hits for any of them:[^1] - Scott County - [[Shakopee]] - [[Savage]] - [[Prior Lake]] - [[Jordan]] - Belle Plaine - New Prague - Empire Cuisine - Shamsia Hopes The pair's listed sources are a report hosted at oversight.house.gov and a news item from *Sahan Journal*. Neither is among the sources cleared for citation in this article.[^1] The project sets that result beside the March 2025 presidential action *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos*, which the pair names as its anchor.[^1] The record shows that the report, as searched, does not name the storefront. The record does not establish why the report omits these terms.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record, pair AI-Scott-021 (Matrix 4.4, *The Immunity Architecture & the Consequence-Free Malfeasance Edition*) — states the nine-term full-text search with zero hits in a 205-page congressional report and the $25 million figure attributed to trial testimony; the linked URL is the pair's anchor, the White House presidential action *Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos* (March 2025), not the source of the search result or the figure. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/stopping-waste-fraud-and-abuse-by-eliminating-information-silos/
