网红Nick Shirley撤回对西雅图亚洲超市的粮食券欺诈指控：承认没有证据，已删除疯传视频
保守派社交媒体网红Nick Shirley本周撤回了他对西雅图亚洲超市Lam's Seafood的粮食券欺诈指控，承认没有发现证据证明这家店参与或合谋欺诈，并删除了此前播放量达数百万次的指控视频。据《西雅图时报》报道，这家位于华盛顿州金县西雅图市小西贡社区的老牌亚洲超市在指控疯传后承受了巨大反噬，已经聘请律师，并向Shirley发出停止侵权函。
Shirley在10月9日和10月12日发布的视频中，拍下一名说越南语的女顾客在店内购物，声称她用EBT粮食券卡以120美元买了一罐午餐肉和一份寿司，并暗示超市可以向联邦补充营养援助计划（SNAP）收取这120美元、再把钱返给顾客。据《西雅图时报》报道，这些视频获得数百万次播放，一些支持者提出抵制这家店。
Lam's方面表示，Shirley看错了交易内容：这名顾客当时在问一整箱午餐肉的价格，收银台显示的120美元对应的是一整箱商品，而且这笔交易最终没有完成。该店运营经理Teizi Mersai表示，Lam's从未参与任何EBT欺诈。据西雅图当地电视台KIRO 7报道，超市方面称，这场指控伤害了生意，还给店家带来了骚扰。
11月11日晚，Shirley发布一段简短视频收回指控，并删除了两段西雅图视频。他在周四的Facebook帖文中写道：“我没有发现任何证据表明Lam's本身参与了EBT欺诈，或与视频中那名女子合谋。”他还表示，自己无意作出不实指控，并承认那名顾客当时是想买一整箱午餐肉，这正是交易金额为120美元的原因。一个曾转载其西雅图指控的网站本周也撤下了相关内容，并撤回了说法。
Shirley此前因发布视频指控明尼苏达州多家托儿中心涉嫌诈领公共资金而在全国走红。据Supermarket News报道，上个月，特朗普总统向他颁发了10,000美元奖励，该奖励属于白宫的举报人激励计划，这项总额2,500万美元的计划向举报政府欺诈者发放最高30,000美元奖金。
Influencer Nick Shirley Retracts EBT Fraud Accusation Against Seattle Asian Grocer Lam's Seafood, Saying He Found No Evidence
Conservative social media influencer Nick Shirley this week retracted his food-stamp fraud accusation against Lam's Seafood, an Asian market in Seattle, admitting he had found no evidence that the store engaged in or colluded in fraud, and removed the accusation videos that had drawn millions of views. According to The Seattle Times, the long-running Asian market in Seattle's Little Saigon, in King County, Washington, faced immense backlash after the claims went viral, hired an attorney and sent Shirley a cease-and-desist letter.
In videos posted on October 9 and October 12, Shirley filmed a Vietnamese-speaking woman shopping in the store and claimed she had used an EBT food-stamp card to buy one can of Spam and one order of sushi for $120, implying a kickback scheme in which the store could charge the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) the $120 and then pay the customer back. According to The Seattle Times, the videos generated millions of views, and some of his supporters suggested boycotting the store.
Lam's said Shirley misread the transaction: the customer had been asking about the price of a full case of Spam, the $120 shown at the register was for the case, and the sale was never completed. Operations manager Teizi Mersai said Lam's has never participated in any EBT fraud. Seattle television station KIRO 7 reported that the store said the accusation hurt its business and brought harassment.
On the night of November 11, Shirley posted a short video walking back the accusation and removed the two Seattle videos. In a Facebook post on Thursday, he wrote: “I have not uncovered any evidence that Lam's itself engaged in EBT fraud or that Lam's colluded with the woman in the video.” He added that it was never his intention to make incorrect claims, and acknowledged that the customer had been attempting to purchase a case of Spam, which is why the transaction was $120. A website that had repeated his Seattle claims this week also took down its editions and retracted the statements.
Shirley had gained national recognition for videos alleging that several daycare centers in Minnesota were receiving public funds without providing services. According to Supermarket News, President Trump last month presented him with a $10,000 reward under the White House's Whistleblower Incentive Program, a $25 million initiative that pays people who report government fraud up to $30,000.
